Maybe the new contract banned slideshows. Fingers crossed...

I’m enjoying how this article has really let the most miserable people here put a spotlight on themselves

I can sense a new Ad campaign:

this smug ass response is like the icing on the cake for me leaving. i was already out the door anyway, but i kept coming back for torch and tracy. but this attitude right here seems to be taking over the culture of the writers at jalopnik and i have to think it’s souring the taste of many who might still read this…

“Millions of people read this site”

I told them that they’re Jalopnik now. They are, and if you want to be, so are you.

Same, Tracy and Torch were the only thing keeping this site in my daily rotation, so Jalop will be getting subbed out for whatever their next project is

Well a person could pay taxes and donate to charity. That’s what I do, and I don’t have billions to spare.

can you remind the families of the 2500 people who died yesterday it’s over?

“What irritates people is that our fellow citizens’ response to the disease continues to lag well behind the reality of the situation.”

While some thought this was a protest, it wasn’t. It was a recruiting drive for right wing extremists.

OK, that’s great and all but it’s really easy to forget that there’s still a buttload of parents with kids under 5 who are completely losing their shit because they can’t get their kids vaccinated, their daycares close for 10 days at a time due to a COVID positive and they have to stay home from work with their…

We aren’t out of the woods quite yet. Despite cases having dropped dramatically they are still higher than at any other time during the pandemic.

And it’s not like the vaccine mandate meant they couldn’t work at all if they were unvaccinated, they just couldn’t haul loads across the border, which was a common sense measure, one that both the US and Canada have required from non-commercial border crossers for months now.

you’re right, a trucker needs to have his/her wheels spinning in order to make money. One would think that truckers wouldn’t really be interested in sitting idle at a bridge or at a capital for weeks as that brings them no money especially since one could be making thousands of CAD for any load within Canada and much…

Please stop referencing something else when talking about something. Just because I want to talk about saving the whales doesn’t mean it is appropriate to talk about saving the dolphins.

But the BLM protests were all cleared out before the day was over. They were cleared out with tear gas and batons and whatnot. They were not allowed to block any major thoroughfare. And several states passed laws allowing people to drive over BLM protesters, remember?

The only actual arrests made for arson during George Floyd were white nationalist agent provocateurs and Boogaloo Bois. We know their names and everything
