Yeah. Their lack of income tax and crazy high property tax is a part of that marketing. It hides a huge amount of tax in the form of rent for most younger folks moving out there. Since their landlord obviously passes that cost on.

I was not aware. I just know my brother in a suburb of Dallas pays more property tax than I do in a suburb of Buffalo. Our houses are of similar assessed value. In my suburb the schools are darn good, in his they are a gang education facility, from what he says.

Essentially, de Blasio wants to replace the few horses still on the streets with electric cars. Whether this is a good or a terrible thing to do I don't know, and I don't really care, but there have to be more important things to get worked up about, right?

I suggest you bring your weapon of choice. And I will bring a random Ohioan to act as a distraction in my favor.

Why is this video sped up? I'm sure it makes it look worse than it is.

Next time spend some time and actually read my responses. The ONLY two things that right wing media has tried to attach to the prius is that:

This is just factually incorrect. True in criminal court, but the burden of proof in civil cases (which this would most likely be) is a preponderance of the evidence, meaning one side has to be more likely true than the other.

(NY-based auto liability insurance adjuster here) - In NY this is incorrect. Being a pure form comparative negligence state, the insurance companies will weigh the acts and duties and breaches of duty of each driver and apportion negligence thusly. Even if Border Patrol is 90% negligent they can still collect 10% of…

the video clearly shows the green light, and that the driver tried avoiding the van very quickly, a note to his reaction time.

I blame unions for weekends. Communists.

Don't forget the Tatra T87 on Caprica in BSG.

I thought the flat rate was for repair, not diagnosis. Once the diagnosis comes back "change fuse" then the "flat rate" of about 50 cents to replace a fuse would kick in.

I totally agree. Anyone who even knows a little about the stock market (I fall in that category) knows that no intrinsic value is added or 'stolen' from the market/US GDP. That's unfortunate because the idea and tech behind HFT is really cool in and of itself regardless of your stance on the legitimacy of its…

Huh? or you know... they actually love cars but realize that public transportation can handle most of the workload better? That having 1,000 people take the subway instead of all in a car on the highway is better for everyone.

Agree. I'm very surprised at the responses here, and can only put them down to people not being used to the wide lens distortion. That collision was inevitable once the idiot in the pickup decided to pull out. The cam driver scrubbing off speed may well have saved his and his wife's lives.

Not to mention you can nearly hit Detroit with a rock, so you have the entire Detroit/UAW auto industry intertwined with the Windsor/CAW auto industry. Even Toledo is very close by. I'm sure that entire area of the country is covered with auto industry related suppliers and businesses.

" ...As much as this will create a huge amount of collateral damage, we need to, as consumers, boycott cars and trucks made in UAW-run shops. ... "

" ...On average, employee contributions for full coverage (80% dental, limited vision, non-private hospital rooms, ambulances, yes, that's right, ambulances aren't free in Canada) are somewhere in the area of $135-175/mth, employers pay the same. ... "

Publically, I say the senior executives at these companies remain essentially the same executives as the ones that ran Detroit's automakers into the ground with gold plated benefits, giant bonuses, approving and implementing terrible products and even worse strategies.

Privately, senior executives at these companies say the UAW remains essentially the same union as the one that helped run Detroit's automakers into the ground with its demands for overly generous wages and gold-plated benefits.
