Just think, our government would have given Ghosn diplomatic immunity as well.

It seems to come down to tribalism. USians are more important/better than Mexicans, therefore USians deserve the jobs more.  I get the argument for keeping jobs in places with decent labor standards, but isn’t Mexico such a place?

Reminds me of the Espace F1.

Are these estimates, or quotes? In my experience an estimate can change due to unforeseen circumstances, but a quote is an assurance that the specified work will be done for the agreed price. So you might get an estimate based on a description of your house, but a quote would require someone to come out and inspect…

Yeah I suppose so.

No typo. 18,300 containers.  Someone else mentioned that photo is of a previous smaller ship that carried the same name.

Dazzling.  That whole show was fascinating.

OK I didn’t think this was necessary but THAT WAS A JOKE.

No, it was a reference to people complaining that Jalopnik was covering this Tesla crash, but not some other random fatal crash of a gas vehicle.

Why are you reporting on this crash AGAIN when there was a Supra that LITERALLY EXPLODED and you...

BLEVEs are always fun.   From a safe distance.

You think it’s up to me to disprove the thing you made up, and I’m the idiot? OK.

If you wanted to really tow something and have a huge truck that required a commercial drivers license, why not just be a semi driver

Again, a desire for safety features does not equate to worrying about safety while driving.  I’m not sure why you are trying to equate the two.  I like anti-lock brakes.  That doesn’t mean I worry about not having them when I’m driving a car that doesn’t.

I shouldn’t be explaining this to TheExplainer, but it’s the far side of the moon since there’s nothing darker about it.  Unless that was a Pink Floyd reference.

I’m sure they could find a way to do the work overseas and send the precious metals back here, if there’s a buck (or a penny) to be made by doing so.

V10omous explained it.  Conservatives object to paying taxes for things that don’t benefit them directly.  Which kind of misses the point of taxes, and society...

I don’t think they were ever educational.

You’re not wrong, but the person she was saying that to was another (non-military) customer who had tried to intervene to get the crapbag to back off.

Good thing that new mom took the time to do her makeup and eyelashes before getting the shot taken.
