Only if I could be time-lapse sedated, placed in a container with it’s own oxygen supply and shipped as freight.

Similarly you’d really think Nissan would be #1. All problems should be resolved after a model has been on the market for 20 years.
Ford: Hey, we’re churning out trucks and SUVs and even ventilators!
Where’s our headline?
The point of shutting down businesses was never supposed to last for months on end - the point was to flatten the curve and spend that time preparing to fight the virus by mass manufacturing PPE and raising an army of contact tracers.
Normally the losing side of a war no longer has a flag to fly... Why these are still flying is beyond me, but I’m not a Southerner indoctrinated in their special version of history.
Personally, I think that both sequels are underrated. They’re not nearly as good as movies as the first one, but I do think that they have more interesting ideas. And I feel like if there was a special edition that made the dodgy even for the time special effects in 2 & 3 look better they’d be ripe for reevaluation.
> The Chevette was a race car by comparison.
Strongly disagree. In college I delivered pizzas in Chevettes. Aside from starting when you turned the key, I can’t think of anything good to say about them. They were so slow and braked so poorly that I drove with either the gas pedal or the brake pedal to the floor.
The AM radio was an option. Where did they live that it lasted all those years without turning into a pile of iron oxide? Here in the Nutmeg State you could hear these things rusting as they sat on the showroom floor.
This is why I drive old stuff, you can tell what it is.
An engineering manager I long ago worked for hypothesized there is actually only one tablespoon of neverseize in the whole world. I just keeps getting spread around thinner and thinner.
stating he had access to 125 tons of bomb-making materials
We’ve been told that even if the office opens up the buildings will only be allowed to be at 25% capacity, all of the cubicles will be spread apart and masks must be worn away from the desks. We were also told that if we’re not comfortable coming in we don’t have to. Seems to me we are doing our jobs just fine from…
I wonder how much of the boxy ‘80s was influenced by processing power making it difficult to do rounded surfaces in early CAD/CAM programs.
Are you not familiar with the commenter known as Long Voyager (or some variation of that name)? Dude is a rabid fan of these.
I swear you are turning into that oddball old man down the street who is super into collections of weird things like Vacuums from the 50s, old pharmacy bottles or something along those lines. No one cares for this stuff (80s-90s Chrysler products) except for your glowing heart. Keep on man!
Yeah people shit on me yesterday for seeming concerned about the white collar workers instead of the union guys who are protected by contracts, but I fear you are absolutely right.
As I sit here at home working (or not working?) on a Ford computer, the US automakers are faced with a very tough situation. On the one hand they weren’t doing great before all this started so they need to make some money or more people will lose their jobs, on the other coronavirus (obviously).
I know it sounds like beating a dead horse to say UNIONS UNIONS UNIONS but the horse won’t actually die until the unions actually form.
