It’s a classic Veblen Good, where demand GOES UP as the price increases: the reverse of a normal economic demand/price curve.

OK.  So this made me laugh right out loud.  Well done.

At a separate event later in the day, Logan Schneider was contacted by Biden administration officials, who offered him a position in Washington.

I see we’re naming each slide in such a way that you can’t tell what’s actually on the slide, so you have to click it or go through each one! Very clever! I wonder why I still come here.

Excellent visual analogy.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! “British investigators said “no one is beyond our reach,”... if only the IRS could hold billionaires in the US as accountable.

In 2008 I stumbled across a 1994 Mazda RX-7 R2 in the iconic red paint. Bone stock, one owner, perfect condition, full records, the whole nine yards. 24K original miles. Asking $12,995.

Back in late 2003 early 2004, I can’t remember exactly, I happened to be at a VW dealership in Houston, looking at their specimen of the newly released R32. I was browsing all the other new cars, when the sales manager asked me if I had heard about the new W12 Phaeton. I said no, so he took me over to see the one they

Fuck off and die, asshole.

Damn. You know nothing about me, know nothing about how or where I ride...you know nothing of value at all in regards to this conversation it seems. Yet you come in with such unjustified bravado and confidence in your jugements. There is a saying - if everyone you meet is an asshole...you are the asshole. 

Well machine guns have been illegal federally since the 80s so I doubt they’ll make them legal. That said, yes everyone in Texas is armed. I can guarantee the douche canoe in the Jeep was armed, so the cyclist might as well be too. 

I think that if someone were coming in for his second successive unambiguously intentional attempt to run you down, you’d be morally justified in a point of aim a lot higher and more central than the tires.

That’s a lot of ifs, probablys and maybes with the luxury of hindsight to base your hypothetical situation on. Given that this guy already attempted to swerve his 2 ton piece of machinery at the bike rider and use it as a weapon, which is enough to seriously maim and kill....who knows what else the guy might do.

Come on up to Arkansas. Like Texas, only worse in nearly every measure.

Knowing Deer Park I was surprised the cyclist wasn’t also charged with filing a false report and reckless endangerment for nearly hitting the Jeep.

we can mount it on my roll bar!

Take his Jeep away too. Make him get around on a bike. That would be justice!

Of course they had connections. The whole town is related.

The only way to stop a bad person with a Jeep, is a good person with a Jeep.
