I’m highly sympathetic to Google employees, some of the most generously compensated people in the world, and their plight struggling to survive in such a brutal corporate environment (free food, drinks, tons of leisure activities, loose responsibilities, nap pods, etc). They really need a union.

Because Porsche and GM operate at the same scale.

Nobody has ever been “forced” into a new car in the history of the world. 

It’s fairly common for engineers to make $200k+ in Silicon Valley, which is why I said depending on location.

Sometimes I’m not sure what the point of an article is. Is it to pander to folks in your echo chamber or to inform and convince those outside of the echo chamber on your point of view? If the former, job well done. The latter; terrible article.

Dude, if you’re an IT worker with a degree and 20 years experience and you’re not earning $100k-200k range (depending on location), you probably aren’t very good.

List of problems in Afghanistan:

“Keeping wages low” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read this month. Congrats. 

The idiot shooting this video makes uncle Rico look like James Cameron. Worst. Video. Ever.

UAW strikes have always annoyed me, but this one is different. GM breached the agreed upon contract by closing those plants while simultaneously allocating new production to Mexico. Yes, tooling was in progress at the Mexico plant far before the decision was officially made to shutter the US plants, but these…

I scrolled down and clicked crackpipe as soon as I saw the first garbage everywhere picture. This is not the type of person that says “my oil change is coming up in 500 miles. Better get it on the schedule!” This is a person who bought a car worth more than their house and has sheets for curtains in the bedroom. 

You’re right - they must have killed the Focus out of spite to piss off Jalopsters. Because that’s how a large, profitable business makes decisions.

I think Uber and Lyft are a farce, but that’s because of the insane and out of touch fantasy valuations the cronies pulling the strings have deemed them worth. In terms of concept, it’s great. That’s what confuses me about the folks bitching; you realize the alternative is no Uber and Lyft? They’re losing gobs of…

It’s clear you disagree with the idea, but could you explain again why an election where 72.2% of the country turned out to vote for something in a 52%-48% margin isn’t representative of the will of the people? Those people just showed up to the polls to let government know their opinion with no expectation of action?…

Ah, my mistake. I thought 52% of the country said they wanted something to happen. Clearly that’s not the will of the people.

Watching this play out has been mind-boggling. I feel like I could study for a decade and still have no clue how the UK political system works. I thought our system was a mess until I saw these folks repeatedly just seize up and crap their pants while trying to enact the will of the people (whether or not that will is…

You received pretty much the expected response lol I didn’t vote for Trump, but since I have a life, am not crazy and I live in the real world, I also don’t suffer from TDS, so it’s easy to see he’s dead-on with this particular issue. While I’m not sure his tantrum tactics are going to be enough to win the battle,…

Perfect color for next batmobile.
