“If you’ve been to a Rainforest Café, this is the same concept”

He agrees.

And you don’t think that most of the off-track things at an F1 event aren’t about sales? I mean the whole weekend is about lead generation outside the track action. I mean shoot, We are all talking about the marina so it captured everyone’s attention. Mission accomplished.

The one in Arizona is the real thing.

Some people just aren’t happy unless they’re angry about something.

“THIS ISN’T EVEN A REAL TREE!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT! WHAT A GARBAGE ATTACTION!”

LOL, you won’t see any of those big yachts in Monaco this year, they are being seized or went back to Russia to a safe port

Years of practice driving a piece of shit with a Mercedes engine is paying off.

Re-check your numbers. New pilots working for regional airlines make $50k/yr.  It’s brutally low pay for new pilots. 

The median pay of a commercial pilot in 2021 was $134,000. Cry me a river.

This. Pilot pay is fucking bullshit peanuts these days.

Yep.  It used to be 55, but we raised it to 60 to get 5 more years out of the Boomers before the pilot crisis hit.

So we force pilots to retire at 60 but we let walking corpses run the government?

I love that it’s in Florida, a state that has done so much climate denial and work against fighting climate change.

Vettel is F1's new Kimi. He knows he is probably retiring at the end of the season and that the worst F1 will do is slap him with a fine that he can easily afford. So he might as well say what he thinks.

We are coming back with teeth and a backbone!

God he’s such a douche bag. I don’t even want to grow facial hair anymore because he does. 

“Protesting” a.k.a. driving around being astroturf incarnate is better than going back to dealing with brokers and getting loads from one place to another. Basically, they don’t wanna work because grifting is easier.

People donate money. They use those donations to pay themselves to drive around and be public douchebags. They don’t ever want this to end.
