Reminds me of the Subaru dealers who use Outbacks as loaner cars for a year and then sell them as used vehicles that are $500 less than new.

I think your obvious partisanship makes you turn a blind eye to the fact that the Democrats are just as pro military adventurism, pro corporate bailouts, pro police-state, pro mass surveillance, etc etc etc as the Republicans. We’re ALREADY living in an oligarchy. The country is controlled by a handful of lifelong…

You mean the same way they did to Clinton and the same way the Dems did to Bush/Trump? Both parties have impeached the other’s President for political gain.

How on earth do you figure 15 years? Feels like you’re missing an entire presidency and several years of one party rule...

private companies existing and doing things at the governments request and with government permission is not a capitalist utopia. I wish people would stop pretending we lived under actual capitalism and not socialized corporatism.

I can choose to not associate with a private company...

The C-Class replaced the 190. It’s also still in production so it’s not as much of a failure as the C230 Kompressor or the CLA were.

What’s shocking is they didn’t learn this 20 years ago with the abysmal C230 hatchback.

Ah Jalopnik... the car blog that criticizes lane keep assist for not acting like lane centering assist.

Physical revulsion...

yeah, I read their garbage study. It was hilarious. Has no one ever heard the old adage of ‘correlation does not equal causation’? They offer no good justification for how they attributed they % of new cases to people attending the Sturgis rally. It’s just guess work.

Not only is it a good thing apparently but we should also just believe whatever reasoning the police offer like ‘It’s people taking advantage of the open roads’.

Man I feel bad for the guy who thinks being a staff writer on a 2 bit car blog 5 years past its relevency is ‘peaking’.

It’s not mentioned in the paper. There is no good reason for the two lines to diverge two day before the event starts.

Yeah and then totally guessed on how much the percentage of the new cases caused by people coming back from Sturgis. The only good data they had to start with was the Sturgis, Meade County and S. Dakota numbers and they totally mucked those up as well. If you look at their charts for their ‘expected’ cases and…

Just want to point out that this is an economic study that used non medical data and math formulas to arrive at this number. These aren’t health professionals and this has not been peer reviewed.

Oh so it’s a giant guess? When they said 450k people attended and it caused an uptick of 250k I thought that made sense that 10-20% of the attendees would contract it and spread it to a couple people.

you are not alone. If you have a 9x9 pan, you can cut like 1 inch in from the edge all the way around. That gives you roughly the same amount of ‘edge’ brownie to center brownie. Then just marry someone who like edge pieces like I did and you’re set.

As soon as I saw the headline in the little news box on Jalopnik, I thought ‘
