While I have ZERO love for Trump, the largest increase in the National Debt occurred during the Obama Administration - roughly $9.5 Trillion. (yes that would be over 8 years rather than 4, but I’m a numbers guy.) Obama would have some carry over effect from 2008's Housing BS and Trump gets pegged with Covid costs, but…

A demand destruction curve based on winter months and continued EV/Hybrid adoption plays a role. Supply isn’t the issue since the US is a net exporter of oil (and OPEC+ lies about the production export numbers, look at Iran’s numbers as well!). CA/WA have stupid levels of taxes on gas, Hawaii is a…

Really just a list of states where people over-estimate their abilities and grossly inflate 4WD/AWD as a solution to basic physics!

Can’t help but think the $7500 tax incentives might have something to do with this. Sure, built in Georgia but might not have enough sourced in U.S.!

1st Gear - Term Limits... 2 for Senate, 3 for House... the age thing gets you sued for discrimination!

Touchscreens... my complaint is the NAV screen is too damn low for anyone sitting tall in the seat. I’m sure there’s a heads-up option or duplication on the dash screen.

Some of it comes from their domestic market and the shame that comes from offering an inferior product. Those first few models weren’t spectacular and managers paid a price.

Getting those harder societal topics into the public and in a way that is thought provoking and entertaining is the benefit of musicals done correctly. 

I never thought anything could ever top an Autistic Child and his Snow Globe as the most unwarranted ending to a series, but people keep trying!

The most simple and cynical reason is to get awards. Just the idea of a film about a musical version of the book-based film is nauseating. Having been 13 in 1985 I found the material made me ask my parents a few things. Growing up in MA you only were taught the material in bits and pieces based on age. It was a school…

I’m wondering what mental gymnastics AV Club will use to explain The Color Purple - The Film based on the Musical later this month? Racism? Rampant Misogyny?

That’s a highly subjective statement with no historical data. Both Volvo and Mercedes have lead in utilization of safety features.

Montana... helps to read the article!

It’s come to my attention the Oppenheimer quote was from Spy Kids 2... guess I should have better sourced my info! Damn memes!

With historical knowledge of how civilizations evolved, most people understand that it was a matter of perspective that fostered the ideas of global floods or “Acts of God” that extended beyond their horizon.

My God may not be your idea of God, but one thing I know of my God — he makes me a humanitarian. I am a proud Jew because we gave the world the Bible and the story of Joseph.  Albert Einstein 

We’re going to see a pickup in workforce reductions in various industries over the next 6 months. The refinancing of long-term debt is hitting companies and they are offering early retirement packages to get people out the door. Not the same as a straight-up culling, but it goes under the radar for most. (Banks are…

How fucking lazy do you have to be?

My garage consists of a 2023 Rivian R1T, a 2018 XC60 (ICE) and 2022 Polestar 2 which my niece will be getting over the holidays now that she has a job and can pay me a few bucks to own it.

There’s a certain amount of narcissism we accept from people who openly state “I’m here to fix your problems. I’m the ONLY one who can!” Like most fanbases, Cults of Personality reign and people willingly accept all kinds of irrational behavior because they don’t want to admit to themselves or others they chose…
