No. Because not one person protesting has power. Why will the CEO of Exxon give a shit about a bunch of plebeians with signs?

List of problems in Afghanistan:

Also, I’d like to see one of those Chevy “real-life” customer commercials where tech’ed-up pickups are presented to a bunch of Houthis.

Oil prices jump immediately after the attacks once trading started, however prices dropped back down right after the Saudi’s said they would get production back in about 2-3 weeks.

First Gear: The state of Michigan is far too dependent on the auto industry.

If a union chooses to strike, good for them. I’m all for it.

Unions = Mostly good!

“But for the life of me I cannot understand why they’ve decided to slap on the Mustang-inspired marketing hype for their upcoming crossover EV. It really seems counterintuitive and liable to turn buyers away.”

Where are they getting the $4-5 gallon BS? I know California is there but what about the rest of the US? I paid $2.06 a gallon and I’m just 3 hours south of Detroit. And I doubt they that much more.

Even more lolworthy, the oil spill contingency plan on file for the Bahamas is dated back to 2000.

I looked at some other sites because the photo here appears to show the tanks have little to no secondary containment around the tanks which is required in the USA ( Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulation (40 CFR Part 112)). Other photos I found, one on a Bloomberg site, showed there is very…

2nd Gear: The logical plan is to switch to a “distance x weight” formula of registration fees. This should get people paying for (very roughly) the amount of road that they use. Out of state travel will be a bit of a challenge to deal with, but it shouldn’t be too bad.

Michigan takes it to a whole ‘nother level with their Live Bottom asphalt haulers and tankers. Sometimes on exit ramps they will pick up their axles to make a turn and will stop at the light and if you’re next to them the drop axle wheels are still spinning in the air.

So, you plan on going on a cross country trip that often?

I say this as someone who loves driving across country and who drives from wisconsin to ohio and back once a month. I’d buy something like this and be pretty happy about it. 

Just rent a car for the cross country trip.

Show me a car that can go across the country without stopping.

Similar reason why dump trucks have trailers with long-ass tongues: weight dispersion. A 2 lane bridge may have a 40 ton rating, so the truck and trailer can’t be on at the same time. Hence the 30 foot tongue.

I feel sorry for this kid that the adults in his life were so goddamn stupid that they let him permanently damage himself over the course of years.  

I thought it was a really cool idea to see the X-men mutants be explored in the horror (and other) genre instead of just always being superheroes all the time. I was clamoring for it when I saw the original trailer, but definitely not an extremely watered down version thats more designed to get into future movies…

How on Earth was the cheapest ticket you found for a Tigers game THIS YEAR sitting at $100? Did you ask some guy on the street?

“Trump BAD!!!!!!”  We do realize that the yuan weakening is a good thing right?  Or are we so stuck on “Trump BAD!!!!!” that we can’t acknowledge that?
