Make an argument - not an ad hominem.

No bloody way the govt/taxpayers should put a Nickle into this research.

Neutral:

There is a tension between what the government makes us do on public roads and what we want to be able to do. Public pressure saw 55 limits removed for example. In some states lane-splitting is legal.

Trucks are privately owned. The government governing their speeds is an invasion of ones rights.

Not true. Faster cars cover distance more quickly and thus make room for more cars to travel that stretch of road. That more than offsets spacing of the vehicles.

How do higher speeds worsen traffic?

It’s your ‘car’ if you own the trucking company.

A huge state like Cali with boundless potential (being taxed and regulated to a standstill at best) and you think taxes on dope will solve things?

I’m hoping we see what Ryan air was proposing:

Ford has had two huge debacles - the last one nearly bankrupted the company. And of course there was GMAC.

many of those on the left are smugly and ignorantly detached from reality.

The biggest problem in Cali is the lack of RTW and the power closed-shop has given public sector unions - they control the political apparatus of the state and are bankrupting it

Possibly even better than that. And your school system wouldn’t be the most segregated in the country:

I think breaking a lease or selling it isn’t a whole lot harder than selling a car. Certainly the financial bath is bad in either case.

relative to the competition? a civic in the 80s-90s was a far more entertaining car than a tercel or camry for example. The powertrains of hondas from that era are legendary for their relative performance and unmatched smoothness.

not always does the dealer or rather the lease company make money on the returned vehicle - many times the lease company is the loser. If the trade value is better than the return value you have option of buying the vehicle and selling it yourself - i did that with my wife’s CR-V about 6 years ago.

protection from more than expected depreciation is the key advantage. Sometimes you walk away from thousands - my father in law dropped off the keys on an f-150 in 2008 that was over $10000 under water.

Orlove is out to lunch.
