These synthetics are designed for significantly higher mileage, They perform at 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 miles where the conventions have long degraded.

Can you imagine the guy getting the call for the car sized bounce house?

You want me to build what? Awesome!$!$!

I’m well aware of the chart.

Looking at costs per capita is a narrow metric prone to leading you off course. That only matters if you have equivalent quality of care, equivalent infrastructure costs and equivalent staffing.

None of those are the same when looking at the US healthcare market. The US healthcare system is…

The repeal of obamacare is not a panacea, I don’t think anyone will tell you that. It’s an incremental step towards fixing our healthcare system.

The system that replaces it is going to need to be something much more free market than obamacare-lite (Trumpcare) which died.

Looking at health costs per capita is a very…

Because anything short of a racecar is multipurpose.

You’ll be tired driving one day, you’ll have one long leg getting to the fun roads, one day it will rain, one day you’ll be hungover driving back from your beach house smothered in models family values.

Having a car than takes care of you one moment, then goes bat…

Have you read the obamacare law or a synopsis of it? It restricts competition, it’s anti capitalist. Insurance company A from Michigan can’t compete with Company B in Arizona because the law prevents it.

Who physically picks your corn? Switches your phone calls? Runs the looms to make your fabric? Oh...machines..

Technology has diplaced human jobs for 200 years now, get over it the sky is not falling.

Automation give people the freedom to do tasks which humans are uniquely suited. That’s downright insulting to say you…

We’re not talking about anything more than average wage jobs here. You need to understand that.

The guy is earning $700 for 50-55 hours of work. That’s $14-$12.72 per hour or 26,472 per year .

That’s actually below the median US income for someone with a Highschool education.

People earning the much money with Uber are…

This is an incredibly narrowminded conclusion on the subject.

If the society and the Gov keeps coddling you’ll create more financially inept individuals generation after generation.

Give people the information, Truth in Lending does a good job of this, and give the power back to the people and lenders to make decisions.

You have a fundamentally flawed understanding of healthcare. You want a Gov run single payer system. That’s simply not a cost effective solution.

The free market works. If the job you have is not meeting your needs look for another job. These ride sharing (cognito taxi) services were never designed to be your major…

No time for jokes, only time for yelling.

Not even close.

That’s not an argument.

Especially for something like safety equipment redesign this the statistics are so easy to crunch this should be a non argument. Run the numbers, figure out the distribution of accidents and make your decisions from there.

Sorry but no.

Do you build F1/LMP cars?, how about race cars in general? Or armor applications and Mil aerospace components?

I’ve worked on all of these projects in a design engineering role, when weight is a premium and it’s a design requirement that gets moved down the list.

Commercial aircraft run a different set of…
