“Rioting is so counter-productive” - said in reference to riots happening in the one country in which possibly the most “productive” riot in all of human history occurred around 300 years ago.

As someone who has a reservation for an SS, I’m 100% not converting to an order if there isn’t fairly seamless screen mirroring for iPhone.

At least you know the Lexus yoke won’t peel/fall off. It’s also 150 degrees lock to lock instead of the hand-over-hand bullshit in the model S.

I wonder if that “exceptional” brain of his is capable of objectively identifying all the ways he fucked up, or if it represses and denies all the evidence the way an “average” person’s brain does?

But, let’s just make sure you’re consistent. I better not see you posting about how good looking a vintage Ferrari is. Or commenting on a piece of classical music that you really like. Or talking about a great work of art you kind of like. Because odds are that any of those are the product of people more ‘grotesque’…

I would love to understand your theory on why you think people will actually continue to work if they get taxed at 99%.

Have you taken an art history course, ever, in your life? Quit the moralizing and respond to my actual comment.

And if you actually did start to tax Bill Gates at anywhere close to 99% along the way, he would have decided it wasn’t worth the effort, thereby denying the productivity increases since then, as well as not making tens of thousand of Microsoft employees into millionaires along the way.

Is that because a bunch of their boomer rube customers demand they keep putting shit they will never use in their cars? Like a headlight knob that will be switched to “Auto” 100 fucking percent of the time?

The key tell regarding the bias of these economists is that they do not want to consider negative taxes (i.e. tax credits that could result in a refund) to actually be negative taxes, but instead want to call them government spending.

Oh there’s a difference.

I do find it convenient that all these billionaires think New Zealand is somehow going to be their safe haven if/when we decide we’ve fucking had enough.

If a society allows the accumulation of resources such that one person can pay half a fucking billion US dollars to compensate for how much of a goddamn loser he is (that’s right we all read those cringey as fuck texts to Lauren), then I don’t think it’s fair to call it a “great work” of art or design.

I’m thinking it would look MUCH better on fire.

The fuck are you talking about? Headlight controls haven’t been on the end of the turn signal stalk in GM trucks as long as I’ve been alive.

Headlights are all automatic now. Moving physical buttons that you’ll never touch to the infotainment is the correct move. Especially in a smaller vehicle where physical space is at a premium.

Of course, the question is how long until the aftermarket has a tune to get the base motor right up to the same specs as the High-Output? 15 seconds? At your own risk, of course...
