According to Wikipedia, Gallo was born in Buffalo, N.Y. to parents who were hairdressers. (It also says he doesn’t drink alcohol.)

About the movie, not really...

Diaz-Canel ending the dual-currency system and creating an inflationary cycle that shows no end plays a huge role. Plus he mismanaged Covid, exposing large faults in the health system. Food is big time expensive since most of it is imported (70%-ish).

Anyone else wonder how much contact he had with his daughter beforehand? Might there be an Alec Baldwin level voicemail directed at her?

IIRC the “codE” resulted from the power being disrupted to the stereo head (most likely an Alpine Unit) and required a 6 digit code to restore the anit-theft functionality.

I wasn’t offering any criticism of Obama and did point out the cumulative effects of Bush spending. The issue of the Housing crash started with a deregulation under the Clinton administration that continued unchecked under Bush.

So, Thursday afternoons at Elon’s?

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!
