I get you are all pro-Union here, but....
There is an argument against ‘paying them what they are worth’ when a robot can do it cheaper in the long run. Have the longshoremen and stevedores (I think I got that right) made themselves 61.5% more productive? Maybe 30.75% more productive and 30.75% safer?
If not, then why…

I’m torn on the dockworkers strike. I mean, if the companies switch to automated systems it’s not like they’re going to reduce costs to consumers — they’re just going to take in more profits. But at the same time, the workers are possibly being a bit unreasonable in their demands. Tough call without knowing all the…

Got an offer for 50% pay increase, crying about not getting 61.5%, meanwhile most Americans are lucky if they get more than a single digit increase in pay each year, which will be wiped out as prices increase due to the strike.

NP and every vehicle should have mud flaps!!

It's not my favorite body style F-series, but that's a NP, all day.

It required “an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits”. Who maintains that database? Who ensures that cars continue to receive those data? How quickly do they require those data be updated for road work, etc? It was a…

So your worst day in 54 years was that you got sick? I don’t know whether to applaud or scold you. Count yourself lucky you haven’t had any actual hardships.

Excellent write-up. Yes, a car breaking down at a crucial life moment, when you’re really depending on it, can sour a relationship. I’ve bought enough troublesome cars to know that.

This article reminds of of trying to find online recipes and reading someone’s life story before getting to the point.

I asked before and I asked again

“Became lost while using his GPS"? I read that as "tried to cut across illegally after missing his exit"

If you ignore Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it’s pretty close to the Austrian border.

“When drivers are operating with FSD engaged, driving with their hands in their laps or away from the steering wheel is incredibly dangerous. As you will see in the videos, the most critical moments of FSD miscalculation are split-second events that even professional drivers, operating with a test mindset, must focus…

“Modern cars are, for the most part, fantastic. Plus, you don’t have to worry about dying if you get into a minor car accident”

My opinion is that modern cars are really, REALLY good....for people who don’t care about driving and consider a car an appliance. Which, to be fair, is the vast majority of the car buying public.

He’s right though. As cars become more like appliances, less and less soulful cars will exist.

As much as I like the idea of an EV and mostly enjoyed driving my Mach E the last 13 months, I can’t wait for the lease to be over so I can switch back. The occasional need to charge on the go has been frustrating. From charging sites being full, to chargers being offline/broken, to seeing fights break out as to who…

“which was built at the company’s Shochaux factory in France’s Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region near the Austrian border.”

Every SUV at least.  Back from whence you came, you abominations!

Do people really creep around a gas station, spying on guys using premium, then lining up behind them even though there’s 3 empty spots?  All for a splash of the upper crust juice?
