But ugh, can’t we just go back to Monaco and forget this godforsaken continent?

It’s cheaper for me to fly to Europe, stay in a nice hotel, food/drink, and tickets for all 3 days for a F1 race than to attend anything local here in the US.

Many, many years ago my band played a gig at a newly constructed event center on the South of the Border facility. In fact, we were the very first musical act to play at this venue, and the staff were thrilled to show it off. One of the first things we would do during our setup process was to secure adequate

Um, the train is not at fault here. Anyone (or anything) standing on train tracks should expect to get hit.

Well BMW can eat a giant bag of dicks.

Neutral: I’ve traveled extensively throughout eastern Europe so I’ve seen some shitty airports.  However, the absolute worst air travel abattoir I’ve ever experienced has to be Philadelphia.  Bad architecture, surly staff, indifferent food, chronic delays...the worst of everything.

The current naming system of “ID” and then a number is pretty boring

Manufacturers have been pretty clear for years now that the new entry level vehicle is a used vehicle.

No matter what the logo on the van says none of these delivery drivers work for Amazon, but rather for contracted third-party companies. Their beef is with these independent companies, not Amazon. But hey, sue the deepest pockets, right?

Airlines can’t find enough pilots to staff airliners. How are these air mobility start-ups going to find enough pilots to launch these mythical taxi services?

I might push back on a couple of these (I like touch screens, f’rinstance), but I will stand on your dining room table in my cowboy boots, veins popping with rage, spittle flying from my mouth, violently agreeing with the comment about color (or, rather, the lack thereof).

History, even uncomfortable history, needs to be preserved.

The National Air and Space Museum is a perfectly cromulent answer to this query. The new “Nation of Speed” gallery at the downtown location contains actual cars!

Well, this is a terrible idea.

I’m going to get shouted down, but this is just a company using performance management processes to get rid of low performers. 500 employees out of a population is 0.6%. Not newsworthy at all.
