“Furthermore, buying a candy bar is not enshrined in law as a right of every citizen (barring things like felony convictions). So, with a voter ID law now you’re introducing something that’s interfering with someone’s rights.”

This is Detroit. This is what Detroit does.

Update: April 12, 2021. We’re re-running this story from June 12, 2020 following the police killing 20-year-old Duante Wright during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, as our colleagues at The Root report. Cops had reportedly pulled him over for having an air freshener tree hanging from his rear-view…

...or to simply understand what it means when your indicator starts flashing at an accelerated rate. 

Understood. Pardon my misunderstanding. 

Inverse: This sets a horrendous standard. Nobody will ever use this canal again if the potential damages for an accident without loss of life or requirement for a major cleanup were this high.

I can relate; in 1995 my dad brought home a 45+ inch (I don’t recall the exact size) Mitsubishi TV for our home. I recall it being absolutely massive for it’s time period (Both in terms of display area and the size of the overall unit - felt like it was 3 feet deep). We kept that TV for almost 15 years before we moved…

Obligatory:

This is fucking sexy. Not saying I’d trade my F-Type for it (all things equal), but I’d genuinely consider it if they gave it some proper power and priced it appropriately.

All on point.

Wow. I needed to be productive today at work, but this requires a response.

“I don’t believe that a dealer can exist by subsidizing sales staff and other showroom overhead by non-sales activities like the service department.”

Well, I want to state that I don’t love Uber, Lyft and DoorDash. However, in the context that we’re discussing (i.e. you’ve applied for this particular line of work), the companies above would expect you to accept rides if you’re logged in and looking for work, correct? If you’re turning down jobs to the point where…

No, you’re still a contractor. Just because they remind you that there’s a potential penalty for shitty work doesn’t magically change your status. Do you think a contractor in any other industry would be retained if they continually did a poor job?

So once again, this article has inadvertently shown us the wonders of capitalism.

One former moderator, Josie Lindström, claims to have personally suspended hundreds of people, saying the intolerance for dissent was necessary to keep the group moving in the right direction. “It has to be all of us, or it doesn’t work,” she says. But Lindström eventually quit, citing what she described as a toxic…

As someone else pointed out, in a world where competition drives innovation (and lower prices). Furthermore, Bob’s dealership is supporting his local economy by employing individuals from the area. Even if we go with the Tesla model, I’d much rather see my local salesman earn $200 mini commission than see someone at…

I’m glad to hear you had a good experience with Carvana. Funny enough, you stated that they were approximately $2000 more AND they’re failing as a company. So I’ve gotta ask...is it a viable model?

“I would much prefer to have regional fixed pricing on each car, advertised by the automaker. If a RAV4 is $25K and a CRV is $26K, then I’ll know it before I walk in the door and not have to waste my time negotiating (via email or in person) or paying someone to do it for me. Why do dealers hide the true price of a…

I can’t answer the first part of your question because it’s a pure hypothetical. We don’t know what it costs an OEM to make the car. I’m sure there’s some padding in the “invoice” cost as well. What do you get for your $200 extra? Idk, how about when you pick up the phone there’s someone who you can hold accountable,…
