Jobs was trash though. Rick Steves on the other hand...

My wife has one of these, and I have a couple mountain bikes converted to electric. Game changers. School run is done by bike now, and I commute by bike year round. Sold one of our cars. 

The up front pain of the transition is why it never gets done, and it gets more expensive the longer we wait. The problem is that very few, if any, politicians have the balls to tell the truth about this to the voters. Which is, “Our current transportation system is a financial albatross around every taxpayer’s neck…

Instead of credits for luxury purchases (why not e-yachts?), we should be offering credits to purchases of bikes, e-bikes, and alternative commuting modes. Pay people money to stop driving so goddamn much.

Trickle down economics! I love this song!

Funny how the up front cost to build rail is always bemoaned but the fact that maintenance and expansion of our already absurdly overdeveloped road systems are slowly bankrupting states is seen as totally normal.

Uber, and its investors, are banking on automation and the evisceration of public transit to be profitable. When they don't have to pay drivers and there is no, or one, competitor, they'll Jack prices up. 

All cars are a luxury.

I prefer to think of him as the Clarkson without a brain. 

If true, what's your point?

The only classes that matter are the working class and the owner class.

Marginal value of income decreases precipitously when you're already in his realm. Now, that doesn't stop people from being insanely greedy in spite of that, but it literally makes zero difference to his current lifestyle.

Isn’t Drake cancelled for forcing himself on a minor on stage at a concert?

I had this exact recollection and thought while watching the game last night.

Sure, any exposure is “dangerous”, but plenty of people live in brick houses anyway.

“I take the 410 every time I drive to Canada to visit my husband”

This study shows the myopia of car culture. The most dangerous car on the road is probably whatever the biggest SUV on the road is. Because, surprisingly, there are people just walking/biking around that can also be killed by cars. That likelihood goes up the bigger the vehicle. And yet, we have yet another study…

I call bullshit. The draft is incredibly hostile to workers. If a team (business) wants to be competitive, they need to attract the best employees. You generally do this by having a good work culture and paying well, not by securing someone’s servitude through a glossy slave lottery.

What’s dumber:

It continues to be insane to me that people with Zion’s talent can’t DECIDE WHERE THEY WORK!
