I’m in the marketing and PR realm. I cannot emphasize how much these tweets are a trajectory-altering decision for Simon Thomley’s career and the entire Headcannon studio’s future prospects. When you’re a contractor/vendor/services provider, you don’t come out and say scathing things against a contracting client…
Does this line of reasoning also extend to ending fossil fuel subsidies which are several times larger than EV subsidies?
While I don’t like the idea of product re-selling - honestly if people are willing to pay a stupid premium because they can’t be patient...let them. I’m not sure why Ford should have a stake in people taking advantage of product scarcity. Mostly I just feel bad for people who can piss away tens of thousands of…
The American consumer isn’t burdened by taxes. They are burdened by gas prices.
What Biden should be doing is eliminating subsidies for the oil companies. They’re keeping prices artificially high to maximize profit for their shareholders at the expense of the general public, who indirectly finance them through these subsidies.
We don’t need a gas tax holiday. That tax money goes to useful things, the lost revenue will just be gotten somewhere else or we’ll just pay more in interest on the debt, and at this price nobody will notice an 18.3 cent reduction.
The problem is that publicly-traded corporations are inherently controlled by the people who pour the most money into them. When “public participation” involves paying for a say, and the more you pay, the more say you get, then it’s as public as a British public school. Sure, technically anyone can participate. But…
Ehhh, let’s not over-correct here. I hate American corporatism with the heat of a thousand suns, but public interest and investment in companies is a good thing, the people of your land *should* be interested and invested in the businesses doing business in their area. It just needs to be tightly controlled and…
I have never seen a bigger set of fuckbois than the innumerable “easy for them to say!” Commenters.
I believe public-traded companies are a capitalistic evolution that helped promote and normalize the disdain toward the working class altogether. Either way, it’s greed.
Many comments here: “Big companies can’t do this because shareholders and executives.”
Yes, but massive companies that have created games that sell many more copies for a higher price should also be aiming for this.
Which makes it even more inexcusable when giant publishers which ship multiple bestsellers a year do it.
I just drove this exact stretch of road last weekend on my way back from Flyin’ Miata’s Summer Camp and at no point would I have felt comfortable doing a 140mph on any stretch of that road in any vehicle. The problem is that cars are too fast, speed is too accessible, and people are way to dumb to be responsible with…
Not the first nasty, even fatal crash from one of these stupid rallies. Years ago another 911 Turbo in one of these rallies (the infamous Gumball) hit and killed a couple in a passing car. The rich douchebags who organize these things for other rich douchebags just get away with it by telling participants “Obey the…
140 mph, on a country road, in a ‘rally’ that wasn’t regulated or approved for those speeds.
Rich people doing stupid things in fast cars on public roads learn tragic lesson, more at 11.
That IS my mortgage payment. No lie (and I’m aggravated about it because a bigger part is the increase in insurance we - most of us - saw this year).
To me, $712 a month should be a mortgage payment, not a car loan.
