that’s an MRAP.  as seen in Bagdad. 

they have been debating and rejecting every few years for forever. they were debating it when I was stationed in Germany in ‘89.

fuck all “Gig Economy” companies right in the sphincter with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Hunters-Specialties-Butt-Game-Dressing/dp/B002ECKYSA

but they don’t get double the mileage, Ram ecoDiesel is rated at 29 highway and the v6 gas at 26 (hemi at 22, hemi-hybrid 24)

today, regular gas is 3.28/gallon national average, diesel 3.61

over 20k miles (my typical annual) the gas v6 would eat $2500 (Hemi $2981) in gas. the ecoDiesel would eat $2489 in Diesel. An…

this has the advantage to the manufacturer of not having to do a clean job welding the roof to the quarter panel (just as vinyl roofs used to do back in the day) saving them money on manufacturing.

what kind of mileage do you get with those old 2 stroke diesels? how many miles between $10k overhauls?

generally speaking, for anything other than a Semi, the economics of Diesel don’t work out.

no. it isn’t a shortage, it is an inconvenience to the employer. they either need to moderate their profits or increase their price if they want to purchase portions of the worker’s lives... standard capitalism. the market (in this case for human beings) is demanding a higher price for its product. that is not a…

what world do you live in? at least 75% of customers fill up and go at every single gas station I go to.

and the ones that don’t (mostly) are courteous enough to move their fucking car off the pump if they are going inside longer than the projected run time of the pump.

across all industries there is not and never has been a “labor shortage” there has always been an imbalance between what an employer is willing to pay and what a worker is willing to accept.

when enough people do the math and say “that doesn’t pay enough for how much it sucks” then employers have a hard time hiring…

khakis with a belt.  we don’t see the draw, odds are an IWB holster.

beyond about 7-12 yards hitting anything you intend to hit with a compact semi in a high stress situation (particularly something moving) is challenging.

the guy has clearly been to the range a few times and at least paid attention to a few youtube videos about how to shoot.

betting it was her dirty cheating boy/girlfriend’s car.

so whadexityouoffa? you are clearly from jersey, have heard the joke before and know it to be true.

true story, I was at the NCO club back in the day and a guy was talking about being from jersey, so I went over to him, and said, in my best fake joizey accent “Hey! You fom Joizey? I’m fom Joizey! Whatexityouoffa?” and…

they probably aren’t aware of the history behind it, if they were they probably wouldn’t have it on their car.

ain’t no f*cking way.

does he have the thin blue line punisher sticker on there too (or other similar declarations of intent?) if not, he may have just thought “ooo, that’s fun”...  but if he does, you may want to re-evaluate your assessment.

kids, by definition, don’t know any better until you educate them.
