MITs releasing it’s “ventilator” would be like if Fisher-Price announced they are making automobiles and starting pumping out more power wheels.

150,000 Florida jobs and $7.7 billion in wages and cruise industry has a $9 billion (that’s per year) economic impact on Florida. That doesn’t count all the travel agents, flights to ports, and other things that surround the industry.

Nobody’s buying a new car right now and sales could potentially drop to below the earlier recession levels. With stocks being way down and with a lot of the people who don’t own stocks out of work too new cars are not on the menu right now.

Cirque knows they will come crawling back for their jobs. Total asshole move by them, but the market for fire breathers and ring tossers is somewhat saturated. You don’t want to work for Cirque? That’s fine there are ten other people behind you that would love to work for (what used to be) one of the largest circuses…

The guy in the video is just the current CEO. The billionaire founder (Guy Laliberte) cashed out and doesn’t own any part of it anymore. Cirque is owned by a couple of private equity firms, not charities. They are giving employees their last paycheck and paying health insurance for the time being.

They make money by performing shows. They currently are earning zero dollars. Option 1 keep paying everyone until the company goes under in a month and you’ll never see cirque du soleil again and 5000 people will be out jobs permanently. Option 2 sideline everyone until this subsides and hire most of them…

CP. These mid 2000s exotics are in a tough place and most overpriced especially the autos. Expensive to maintain, not old enough to really be special, starting to look dated (thanks fusion). V8 vantage is mentioned in every car forum $50K what should I buy thread yet no one ever gets one. Why?

Brad Pitt also drives around in a car where the speedometer never moves (because it was filmed with the car on a trailer). Oversights happen.

Near impossible to get an airtight seal on a N95 mask with any sort of facial hair. The machine used for respiratory fit testing measures how “tight” the fit is and even with a little stubble it can be difficult to pass. Guys end up having to wear the full hood type which is fine in a hospital, but not happening for…

Overland has become synonymous with glamping in which you spend $50K+ and post on instagram about driving down fire roads any stock CR-V could handle. Absolute necessities include roof top tents, ARB fridges and don’t forget your snorkel and bullbar front bumper.

Bucket list stuff is a way better use of your money than a ten year old sports car. You’re going to be unable to move or dead in a couple years spend it like it is your last chance because it is.

“Man offended by red stripe on plane”

Military contracts are about making as much money off the US government as possible, not making it cheaper or getting it done quickly. Companies have zero incentive to ever make things work right (see F-35) as long as they are getting paid. Throw in some delays and cost overruns for good measure too.

So Han is back because Paul Walker is dead? I mean if you were going to bring him back ANYWAY why bother shoehorning in a couple movies for the “people like han so tokyo drift can’t happen yet timeline?” They could have skipped the whole going from the newest tech back to flip phones and bow wow in one movie thing...

F35 isn’t about making the best combat plane it’s just a thing to move money and jobs back into congressperson’s states and districts. It claims parts from 45 states no way you will ever get people to eliminate or lower budget of such a monster. Defense contractors are in the business to make money, not a perfect…

$25 worth of apples and other stuff that doesn’t even come refrigerated at the grocery store in a $900 cooler.

It would have been a scheduling nightmare to not play the games today....but man they should have just not played the games today. “Kobe would have wanted them to play” of course, but this is Roberto Clemente level.  Take a day of mourning so players have a chance to get their heads around it.

90s Ferraris are some of the most expensive cars to maintain ever and are also horrible unreliable. You see cars on BaT all the time that have 14K miles with $25K in work over the last 400 miles the car was driven in ten years.

4:45 - that’s how many hours the USA today article says the average ER wait time is at that hospital. This woman left after 2.5 hours.

How are they losing money on a $150 annual fee that it needs to go to $250? It’s not like the Citi Prestige where they had people taking them for thousands in hotel night stays.
