There are a lot of reasons why relatively poor people cannot move. They may not have the funds to move what stuff they have. They may rely on family for day care. And the biggie: they don’t have a job lined up in Putatively Cheaper Place. Job and residential mobility isn’t as easy as renting a U Haul and decamping to…

No one is being “penalized”. What is wrong with all you bootlickers? They make money at the pleasure of the rest of us. “You didn’t build that” etc. That they get to keep any money is their reward.

“$225k in the rest of the country. Comfortable, but not rich.”

GM’s shitty management killed them, not unions, you collossal moron.

It’s likely based on this, from the same previously cited NYT article:

Its crazy because companies are so generous to their workers, especially the blue collar types.

I’ve got bluetooth in my ‘85 RX7 GSL with the factory equalizer. The workshop manual describes the bus system that goes between tuner, tape deck, and eq. I used that information to create a serial DIN patch cable that contains a 1/8" jack connector, and from there I hooked up a cheap bluetooth car module. Now I can…

One way you can help in your area is to join a campaign for local legislation against wage theft. These include laws and ordinances that protect whistleblowers and deny operating licenses for employers found to have engaged in wage theft. This doesn’t just protect people in the US without the right papers, but poor…

Roadkill is just ok. Everything on Velocity is garbage, and it right and good that the channel is mocked and derided.

There’s one crazy, revolutionary idea that might keep driverless cars from taking off though. It’s called, “public transportation”

Someone get a dial indicator, pronto!

I didn’t know BIG APOCALYPSE was out here doing sponsored posts

I work in a crash lab?

You do understand how momentum works? Right? When the car goes from 60 down to zero in less than a single second due to an impact, anything and anyone not secured will continue forward at 60 until it impacts another object. That is junior high level physics. You cannot brace your way out of that. It is literally…

There is no bracing against law of physics.

Not only would you not be able to react fast enough, but if you tried to brace yourself your arms would snap like twigs. Then they might bend backwards into your face and smash your face. Crash forces at even 30mph are insanity.

The seat was never designed to take that kind of load. Even the driver’s deceleration load isn’t meant to go through the seat back; it goes to the B pillar. So yeah, 200 pounds hitting it at 50mph or so is going to break it like it’s nothing.

This is not just for your sake. What do you think happens to that driver when his passenger smashes into the back of his seat?

We did it!
