Unless Jason meant property tax, which is based on the assessed value of the house?

Twitter could be worse.

It’s easy to say we should give up gasoline.... when you live in a major city.

Yeah, what we really need is more meaningless, unenforceable commitments so far into the future that none of the people making them will still be around when it’s time to implement.

“It’s really too bad that Toyota is now experiencing the consequences of its own actions.”

5th gear: Toyota was one of (if not the) first Japanese automakers to set up shop in the US using union labor, and they suffered the consequences after the NUMMI fiasco and witnessing the inability of other union plants to pick up on the improvements they made to their own.

A 200hp car can do 116 as well. This isn’t about the horsepower, but more about the idiot doing 116 in a 30. More bureaucratic red tape because somebody didn’t follow the current laws isn’t going to change with new laws. 

The first 3 seconds of the video are him saying the exact opposite of what the idiot tweeting this said

No where in the CEO’s statement did he make reference to weather. But he did mention absenteeism.
