I’d love to buy a Miata, but at 6'5", it’s not an option unless they make it bigger, and that is not the answer.

From someone who actually pushed for prayer in schools, Reaganomics, vetoing the Civil Rights Restoration Act, ignoring the AIDS epidemic, Iran-Contra, the devastation caused to this country by the War on Drugs, causing the Savings & loan crisis, as well as hiring dozens of staffers to various government positions who…

I then made it a pearl purple on the outside, with black wheels, silver calipers and a maroon-and-black interior.

Yeah, that’s where I’m at now, too. I could be on a train, admittedly, with someone else driving, or drive myself for less, (assuming I get as low as 24mpg) a straight shot drive cross on I-80 will still cost less than $400.

Like I said, I wasn’t really in a rush, so the time didn’t matter, but that cost really drove me away quickly. The cheapest booking, with no sleeping accommodations, was about the price you’d pay for the same flight a few days in advance.

It’d be super convenient for sure. Hell, in the SF area our 3 major cities are only 20-50 miles apart and still usually take multiple hours to drive between.

America isn’t ready for higher taxes on the rich.

There was a time when physically shopping around and haggling was the way folks purchased all of their big ticket items, from televisions to furniture. The internet has made that whole process easier, quickly letting you compare prices from multiple sites at the same time.

More confusing than “why didn’t they just shut the parks then?” is “why the hell are people still going to the parks when two seconds of thinking would tell you this is exactly what it’s going to be like?”

Only minor clarification: SF can’t build out, but refuses to build up by restricting the building height. The overwhelming majority of our 49 square miles are restricted to under 3 stories, while floors Manhattan can reach triple digits.

The government didn’t do that, the industry did.

No judgement, but have you never met or seen the name Deidre written before?

Even if you broke it down into familiar words/phonemes (Men / geh / dough-t) it would be better than what the newscaster said.

It’s where gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles block access to Superchargers as a way to... protest electric vehicles I guess?
