If you’re against Obama that’s fine, we all have our opinions and that’s that.  But saying Obama was the Left’s version of Trump?  Hmm, I’m afraid that’s going to be a tough sell...

Illiterate compared to who? Yep, all those illiterate, Prius drivin’, NPR listenin' white people with superfluous degrees? Literacy is like thier whole thing.

“You know, we sell better than a third of our units in this state but darnit, but the rules are just too darn tricky.”

LMAO ok

Greenhouse gas credits are only part of the story with GM and I think you’re putting words in GM’s mouth a bit. They were as vocally upset as Toyota in 2019 over the idea of having to vary emission hardware in vehicles depending on the final destination, ie the imaginary bullshit rationale for fighting CA in the first…

I'll take that very stupid bet.

Yeah, Subaru - The dog-loving-environment-cleaning up-donating-active lifestyle brand of car, that just also happens to have a competent all wheel drive system, signed up against CARB. Pretty off brand, someone should have slapped that lawyers hand.

Ah OK, apologies, I didn’t know who I was talking to in my previous response. I get it now.

Lol yeah the Editor of the Harvard Law Review and University of Chicago Law Professor had an illiterate base. As long as we’re making dumb generalizations that are mostly false, how are the literacy rates of the base for the reality TV star/shitty businessman?

Seriously? You think automakers are going to abandon the world’s 5th largest economy because “it’s stupid to follow their rules” - rules which are far less stringent than many other markets? You are out of your mind.

Automakers are going to pull out of California? You do know that 14 other states and DC follow the same emissions standards, don’t you? So are those automakers going to pull out of all those states too?

“it’s just too stupid to follow their flipping rules”

“GM, Fiat-Chrysler, and Toyota”

Checking in from a deeply red state and all I can say is people will cut their nose off to spite their face. Or as my 6th grade math teacher so eloquently told us, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink 

The entire plan seems to be “just don’t do what Trump says”

I had a not quite so severe experience with my teacher at my zendo. Like you with Overwatch, I had put my teacher on a bit of a pedestal and really indulged in his positive qualities. Then the sangha had a discussion one day over coffee after zazen about institutional racism and it was incredibly disappointing for me…

I’ve been to Philadelphia one time. Was told I needed to make the pilgrimage to both Pats and Genos. Will never do that again. Nothing like trekking through literal garbage and shit all over the street for some of the WORST cheese steaks in the history of food. God I don’t know what people’s obsession is with cheese…

With all due sincerity, good luck man. I hope you are able to stay safe and that your campus is able to find some sort of solution that continues to keep you and everyone else there safe.
My wife teaches at a middle school, so I know about a fraction of what you all must be going through right now. 

American exceptionalism: where even stupidity is considered unique.
