Weird how large companies get all pissy when tax handouts come with stipulations. This is exactly the kind of thing that should have been done years ago to encourage domestic production and supply chains instead of the race to the bottom sweetheart tax deals and subsidies with very few enforcement provisions.

Yep.  Their actions are extraordinary only insofar as they are having to do them at all.  No other president -- not even Nixon -- has cared so little about the welfare of the nation.

there’s historical precedent for executing people for espionage

I’m starting to think he was the wrong person to be POTUS....

I can afford it - but there is no reason I should get a tax break for buying an expensive car, as I said.

The short version: It’s REALLY bad, and this only covers the stuff that Trump semi-willingly handed over before the search warrant. He fought turning this stuff over for a very long time, and kept it in a very insecure location in the basement of an international hotel. 

The results of the ‘raid’ likely got even more…

Hyundai/KIA best just suck it up and lower their prices by $7500 until those new facilities are ready. Call it “buying market share”.

Maybe, but you can find several examples of people living in houses with at least a 1 in 6 chance of being flooded or having some other natural disaster flatten their home, and choosing not to do anything about it. Unfortunately, the human brain is really bad at understanding risks like this. In their heads, it’s a 5…

It’s absolutely mind-boggling how these droughts are kicking the southwest US in the ass, and China, and Europe. I did my Army enlistment as NATO headcount in Germany—it rained all the time—like every third day. Even the summers were cold and wet in southern Germany (stationed in Wurzburg). Point being, I’m seeing…

History sticks around for a LONG time. There will be areas of France and Belgium that cannot be inhabited by humans for centuries from WW1.

Going out on a limb and saying that I really love this car. I personally think it looks great, and the interior is one of the best in a modern production car. The range would even work perfectly for my daily use. And very likely having the only one in Ohio would be a fun bonus, too. 

Lackluster, but it had some good design features that will undoubtedly carry to other vehicles. I love the interior.

You’re right, someone with a degree likely gets paid more over their lifetime. Which also means that the government collects more tax revenue over their lifetime than if they didn’t go to college.

Just because this didn’t exist for you (or for me, I paid off my own loans) doesn’t mean we shouldn’t right this obvious wrong and do the right thing for everyone going forward.

10k is a fucking pittance in general, but had we not sold our old house and used the proceeds to finally finish paying my loans (stood at about 8.5k at that point), this would’ve wiped my debt clean and we’d have used that money otherwise. instead biden spent all that time hemming and fucking hawing, playing fucking…

I think his promise was something like “at least $10k,” so while this makes good on that, he could and should go further. Is your argument that president Biden WON’T do more because he doesn’t want to, or that he CAN’T do more because he doesn’t have the authority? The latter, I think, is wrong, the former is still…

Here’s another advice: don’t get your education for virtually no added cost and then decide to make money charging your kids and grandkids out the wazoo for theirs.

Cool story. Now can you let the banks from 2008 and the businesses with their PPP loans know?
