The 2023 Bolt actually dropped to $26,595, and effective 1/1/23 when the Infrastructure Bill kicks in and allows GM to claim the tax credit again, it will be more like $19,000. Which is thousands less than a base model Honda Civic.

Exactly. That’s like claiming Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and I, have an average net worth of $100B.

I personally think Uber should worry about IT security and push to being “100% hacker free” by 2030, but what do I know about running a business?

“Instagram model”

All you need to know about the F35's mythical cost savings is that it has the exact same manufacturer as the F22 because someone in defense procurement was successfully persuaded that having Lockheed design 2 next-generation fighters would somehow be cheaper than having them just design one. And I guess you could…

It’s easy to blast the cruise industry because of its environmental impact and also their impact on the destinations they visit. I’m certainly not a fan. But their fuel use is maybe 5% of the global shipping industry, and maybe 1-2% of that of the emissions of cars and trucks. 

Your attitude is exactly why Trump became president, SCOTUS became 6-3, and women are now dying because of Christian Sharia laws.

Colloquially known as “most people.”

That’s how compromise works, though. Some people are disappointed. Some people are helped out a lot. Nobody gets everything of what they wanted.

Kylie often makes stupid arguments trying to dissuade people from voting for democrats. Then she acts shocked and appalled when Republicans sweep to power and do absolutely horrific things.

Look, not everyone got everything they hoped for.

The average student debt load in the U.S. is around $28,000. $10-20K in forgiveness for people making under $125k isn’t a panacea, but it’s a step forward.

Yeah I know this is just par for the course with Jez at this point and I shouldn’t be surprised but still it annoys me to see this BS. Especially when it’s so blatant. Absolutely no mention of anyone who’s in a situation that a large chunk of borrowers are in.

All of these examples are outliers. More than half of borrowers owe $20,000 or less and about one-third have $10,000 or less.

ok sure. I don’t really believe you’re a real person in this real situation but if you are and you actually wanted to be vaccinated you’d go do it. Iowa isn’t some special hellscape where every local CVS is packed with a seething mob of coughing covid patients and hour long lines. There’s basically zero demand for the…

Don’t underplay this.

A quick check online shows virtually nowhere in Iowa that it takes longer than 30 min. Take your kid and go get vaccinated. Get them vaccinated too.

I mean...I wish all of it was forgiven.

I’m sorry but using an orthopedic surgeon as an example in this article is just mind bogglingly dumb, not to mention irrelevant to 95% of all people who have student debt in the this country.

On the one hand, I get it. This isn’t much of anything to a lot of borrowers. Especially when interest rates have been static for so long (member of the 8.5% club for years!). My balance will be right back where it was in like 9 months after interest resumes.
