AGAIN, GM makes the rest of the car. As far as I know, most cars are made with many parts from many different manufactures in the modern age. One of many decisions that GM made was opting for batteries that catch fire. I’m not confident GM has not made other equally poor decisions during that design, sourcing, and…

Apple tried to push people back in the office and they had a mutiny. So did Google. I think this is where the American worker draws their proverbial line in the sand - “You can keep your flat wages, your blurred work-life balance, and your ever shrinking benefits package... but you can pry my working in sweats out of…

For THIS fault.  I’m not so confident they’ve figured out all the faults.  .... Because GM.

Price good!  But then again, fires..... uhh.... bad.  Very bad.

There’s LOTS of huge differences.... yet some similarities. Hence the word “parallels” instead of the phrase “direct lessons”.  

I think there are lots of parallels between Netflix and the streaming market and Tesla and the EV market. Netflix used to be everything in the streaming world. They set the gold standard and were the ones to beat. Now... they’ve fallen drastically in a short period of time. The other players have just started catching…

I’ve never heard of someone accidentally discharging 100lbs more and killing someone.

The solution is pretty clear... Everyone for gun control should join the NRA and vote those fuckers out of leadership. Get the organization back to firearms training and that sort of stuff. Destroy from within.

Good on them! THIS is what the Democrats in Congress need to be doing. Show the public they’re willing to fight the fights worth fighting. This is an epidemic in this country every bit as deadly as COVID, but it’s been going on far, far too long. When this fails, then use it and Roe V. Wade front and center in the…

To quote my uncle..... “She’s got just enough sass mixed with just enough sweetness to get things done in Congress”.

This isn’t a step. This is a band aid so the administration can safely ignore it the next 2-6 years and make it someone else’s problem.  We don’t need “perfection” when “tolerable” would suffice.  This is neither.  

when it really should have been known as “reallocate tax dollars”

Follow the money.  Old Sweaty Teddy is just giving the NRA what they bought and paid for.  

Time for more of those Staycations!  

“Pro-Birth and let’em Starve To Death!”

This is great move by the Democratic leadership! Look, you have to get out there and fight even if you can’t win. If you fight, people will join in. This is a war won in the voting booth and you can’t win it by coming out a couple of times a year and say, “what else are you gonna do? Vote Republican?” Show the people…

He’s also assuming all the pluses outweigh all the negatives. That’s not always the case. Nor is he saying that pre-pandemic, people were starting increasingly to reach this conclusion.  He’s using his fame to assert something that doesn’t jive with enough people and they’re willing to push back.  For certain, he’s…

He can’t “devalue” his product. The market decides his product’s value, not him. Otherwise every movie made would make a profit.  

Not really. Let’s just take cars as one example. Here’s a partial list of things that exist because society has decided interventions are easily commensurate with risk: locks on gear selectors that only work when the brake is pressed, seatbelt warning lights/tones until you plug the belt in, backup cameras, getting…

There needs to be some sort of cost vs. benefit analysis.... But inconveniencing everyone to save a few thousand lives clearly isn’t worth it.
