No, it’s not.

Yep. FCA is in the best position of the Big 3. Lots of COH and very little debt.

Yes, they are. How can you say they aren’t? TARP was a loan...

FCA has the most cash on hand and the least debt; it’s in the best place of the Big 3.

Ford did take a bailout, it just wasn’t under the TARP program.

The fatality rate is NOT 1%! It’s been documented to be 0.4% in Germany and is projected to be even lower here based on the latest studies. That blows your numbers apart...

It’s not. It’s not even sustainable now. (Not sure about Canada, but in the US, we’re basically just borrowing money in our grandchildren’s names. It’s fucked up. It cannot go on much longer.)

Fuck off with that nonsense! This whole thing has been overblown since Day 1 - it’s time to admit that and move on.

LOL - okay, pal. Do you think the folks at Stanford are idiots too? The OP even cited sources for you!

There’s actually a well-documented reason for this, but the author was lazy and didn’t (want to) research the claims made by the FAs, let alone try to understand WHY such things may occur.

Which means that those fares are/were at their minimum prices...

I hope you live somewhere temperate and with large agricultural, energy, and manufacturing sectors, because otherwise you and you’re way of life are fucked (since you are advocating the absolution of numerous readily available and highly critical means of transportation)...

Ah, you’re a professor?!?!? Now your self-righteousness makes a bit more sense.

LOL - okay, there, pal... Do you think we could simply strip away a section of the atmosphere and have no change? You’re starting to argue in circles and your attempts at strong-arming and harassment to try to assert some sort of superiority demonstrate that your arguments can’t hold their own...

Since myself and at…

Also, aren’t you moving the goal posts? If the upper atmosphere changes, what would the effect on the surface/climate be?

Many people other than myself would disagree with you.

For instance: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0207270

They most certainly do! The magnetic fields allow certain areas to be bombarded with solar energy and others not to. As they move around/shift, the exposure levels vary, and thus the “climate” in those regions vary.

Doesn’t this disprove the notion of man-made climate change?

If this pass was open and accessible to the Vikings previously, which predated the industrial revolution, doesn’t that mean that the ice melted previously due to other natural causes?

You’re inference and the factual accuracy of the statement made in the article are not the same though?

Don’t get me wrong - the author could have done a MUCH better job. But, if we’re splitting hairs, we have to at least split them down the middle.

Right, so you’re discounting EVERYTHING I’ve said/pointed out/brought up because you disagree with a portion of it...

You’re proving my point.

Regardless, more to the point, if you agree that these things are not achievable, then why do you think so many people continue to push for them? Do you think they are simply…
