I bought a ‘69 ‘CUDA that was in need of a lot of TLC. The previous owner had done... things... to the electrical system. One of which was to relocate the horn to a button they had screwed to the dash. If you pressed the button, you’d get a beep. If you pressed the button with the car running, you’d get a beep. If you…

consumer spending is 80% of GDP? How do you arrive at that number seeing health care is about 18% of GDP, and business investment is another 18%? government spending is another 17%.

You have lots of growth, at some point that growth is going to stop. The question is for how long and how much.

Yup. I love me a fast car, but I gotta daily drive it, and I’m finding a slower, more practical vehicle is really a LOT less frustrating in my day to day driving and thus more enjoyable. It’s still a fun niche-ish vehicle, but it’s a lot better fit to my needs and I’m enjoying it a lot. 

I think the real problem is that they haven’t been recognized as art really. They have been recognized as symbolic display.

The trailhawk is what you want if you are going off road. It has a different final drive ratio, and to go with that, the computer basically only used gears 2-9 of the transmission, reserving 1st to create the 4 low gearing with 20:1 crawl ratio. You need all the help you can get given the engine is not a torque…

Hot take. You play the game the way that it stands. If you must whine about possible builds... go play something different. Running around whining that the game isn’t the game it should be is stupid. Go find that game. If it doesn’t exist, go make that game.

The NFL makes money by having mass appeal. The guy proved he can piss off a huge swath of people. You don’t have to blackball someone when they are saddled with a presumption of backlash against them just for signing them. Given that NFl careers are short, I doubt his ability to play outlasts his infamy, even if there…

Citation on your sales volume figures? Because by my research your numbers don’t add up. Multiple EV enthusiast sites list US sales volume as 405k units for 2018. Lets just say I give you the benefit and say that number fits in the 3 odublings and we have made no progress on the fourth. THat measn double it 5 more…

In my experience, even when done well, HR is there to protect the company, not the employees. They answer first to regulatory requirements, second to company policy, and third to company hierarchy.

While I agree with a lot of your determinations, some of them are wrong. And you left off some other bits.

Ehhh.. A few issues with your critique.

Why do they have to break it?

That shit is literally everywhere. Seriously just google student loan debt statistics. I got it from a bunch of places that are just running some math on the federal reserve numbers.

Relative to profits? What kind of metric is that? You don’t have to go out and buy profits. You have to buy food, shelter, clothing, health care, utilities, etc. The state of wages is relative to the cost of living, not profits.

You do realize the PETA policy on cats is that they should all be put down because 1) indoor cats are being abused by being pets, and 2) outdoor cats are murder machines that destroy the local ecosystem?

Really? the teacher’s union here seems to think they are part of the family. 

Wow, you do have an imagination.

I do lover how people trying to manipulate public opinion have spun the student loan thing.

Around here they just use masking tape. If it could get caught, I don’t think the tape would do jack. in that situation.
