Uh, nope. Capitalism doesn’t care about consequences unless they immediately undermine profit. See: the environment and the exploitation of workers (not specifically at Ferrari, but in general). They’re “externalities” and they’re way down on the list of things after profit.

That’s capitalism baby, yeah!

All things are temporary.

So much this.

hahaha

Thanks for asking about the name Erik, I’m glad he at least addressed it, even if it doesn’t justify using it. For gods sake, there are 750 000 words in the English language, he couldn’t have picked something else? And FFS envoking Camus to sound somewhat erudite? They couldn’t have called it Existential Motorcycles?…

“The Fighter is our statement of utter brutality,” like slavery!

Seriously, I love the machine, time, dedication and craftsmanship that go into this bike, but I would never buy one even if I could afford one.

The same goes for any of the Indian bikes - yet another reason I’m sad Victory went away.

NP because the wrong part of my brain immediately took over - I don’t care how ruinous and a waste of money it would be!

how refreshing to hear someone say lets wait for the facts before jumping to wild conclusions. you should be, like, president or something.

Bravo sir. Amazing.

Why did I have to scroll down SO FAR to see what I came here for?

Ok, fair point there.

Or possibly it “is about making public transportation the cheapest option.” you know, like David took the time to write. In the article. About reducing congestion.

Why you gotta be such a negative-Nancy. Less pollution is good for everyone. Better public transit is good for everyone too.

Well thanks! I didn’t know I was grey here, I’m not on Jalopnik. Is it site specific?

THIS! This is the level of autonomy I want.

You’re brave reading the greys! Tho as you say, it’s Friday and if you really get worked up you can always have a drink. Because drinking to deal with your problems is always a good solution!

Also you’re welcome? I don’t speak out much on race/equity issues because there are more important voices to be heard than mine.…

I was always confused by that, and someone explained it to me once... but I still don’t get it. Twin dual (2x2=) 4 cams because it’s a V6? Isn’t that obvious? They also made a twin dual cam 4 cylinder WTF??!?!

As a white person, I feel we CONSTANTLY keep on stepping when we see acts of oppression, racism or brutality. I think what this article/essay does is suggests that ... POC treat us the same way we treat POC. Which really fucks with the white supremacy narrative. Perceived equality? Madness!!

this clip should replace whatever is in the dictionary under “perseverance”

The current Gen Prius V* uses NIMH batteries actually; I think only the PHEV Priuseses are LiON.
But NIMH are still recycleable, and many Priusessessii are still running on their original batteries. The charging software keeps them going for zillions** of miles.
