I’m usually pretty dang liberal but I don’t see how it’s much of a victory for the working class. Most of the medallions traded for hundreds of thousands of dollars and were not owned by taxi drivers themselves, but larger companies (like the f*ing hedge fund CIO commenting on how great this is for taxi drivers). I…

I would definitely drag my feet on trying to find Caillou... kid is insufferable.

The report that the poor lady died after being ejected from the car is also a timely reminder to everyone else that, seriously, always belt up no matter how short the trip.

Got me with the wrinkled structural members, that made me think it’s a sagger and needs a structural rethink. Like it or not it’s a ND price.

The mobile site is so broken with ads, that I didn’t feel bad about making them, uh disappear. 

Wow crazy, it’s almost like in the 30-40 years since most of the cars you’re citing were new, that maybe there have been some *slight* technological improvements and horsepower expectations have increased. Not to mention power/weight ratios. By your same silly logic that ignores the fact that time and advancement exist…

That’s cute to call 228 horsepower a “sports car”. Pretty sure the aforementioned crowd clamoring for an analog sports car is probably envisioning more HP than a Camry.

This Exactly.

If the pro-union crowd is going to be this dishonest, why should I side with them during their strike? How do I know they’re telling the truth about working conditions or benefits or anything else?

If they do retract it, they’ll do it quietly and without an equally polarizing headline, so the damage is already done.

It’s Jalopnik, “intentionally misleading article” or “author didn’t really do any research” is like, 50-50

It’s weird, every other person who’s commented on your post so far doesn’t realize that this would set a precedent... Meaning “Oh this worked on Elon and Bezos, lets lower the threshold to X number now to get even more” and so on and so forth. Once the government gets a taste, they’ll want the entire pie. If you can’t…

It’s okay if we destroy the global economy, as long as we change complicated financial systems I don’t understand in order to hurt people I’m jealous of. 

Paying tax on money you haven’t received is a horrible idea and if you think they wont use this as an excuse to raid the middle class you are clueless.

A running E39 540i with a manual transmission that looks like an M5 in 8.5/10 shape for 6k?

There’s something about the fact that both Mercedes and Chevy use arguably the nastiest NA V8s for their road cars but are just as at home when the same blend is placed in the AMG GT3 and Corvette C8R.

It’s Musk that’s actually advancing the space “race” although no one is competing with him. He’s making the advances necessary to eventually get to Mars. I have no doubt that Musk’s tech and crew will make it to Mars first. Branson and Bozo are just selling carnival rides to the elite. Neither are innovative or spark…

But private business bad, because the government can do the same thing but more expensively

Some days it appears less that someone is mad that their cheerios were peed in, and more that some asshole put cheerios in their bowl of pee.

Christ, when did we all get so jaded and misanthropic. We are in the second golden age of space travel and all you can do is shit on it. Yeah space travel is expensive, and yeah we should really do something about the massive wealth disparity we are seeing, but at least with this we are getting something for it. It’s…
