All of the comments that show up on these tariff discussions always ignore half the story to make arguments in favor of cheap EVs.

He says he’s a doctor but I don’t see any markings, white coat or stethoscope so I think it’s only fair for someone to pull a gun on him, force him to the ground, make him show his medical board credentials and his med school degree for good measure because everyone knows what’s going on in the US with people…

“In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty” which is why I pulled a gun on an innocent man until he proved he wasn’t guilty. Flawless victory.

““And everybody knows what’s going on in this country with fentanyl and child trafficking and rape. Terrible stuff.””

Ah yes, those child traffickers who famously return children to their homes safely.

ACAB

It sort of reminds me of a friend who worked for an insurance agency that had a big meeting where they announced they were now a blockchain company, they shut down shortly thereafter

Huh, who’d have thought that a product pushed through the pipeline by one of history’s most inept “engineers” would be dangerous to its owners?

This is why regulations are necessary. Not all make sense, and can be adjusted or tweaked - but regulations often prevent the tragedies like this one caused by hubris. 

If there was profit to be had in not losing bags, Capitalism would’ve solved that problem ages ago.

It’s almost like we cover a wide variety of transportation topics and have done so for years. 

It’s the ones that DON’T look dramatic that are the worst. You want to be bouncing and spinning and shedding parts. That is shedding energy. It’s the undramatic sudden stop crashes like Dale Earnhardt’s that get you very dead, very, very quickly. Though IIRC, Senna died because a piece of the car hit him in the head,…

What political speculation? I did not write anything promotional or disparaging about any candidate. 

Easy fix, just put a banana peel under the pedal.

Are you suggesting Space Force is a political campaign?

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.

I like how these folks want all the perks of a governed society but none of the responsibilities. Isn’t there a patch of desert or tundra or a vacant Island we could move them to so they could be free. 

While I genuinely feel sorry for the dumbass rube who trusted Tesla’s systems, I still place most of the blame on Tesla itself. Just like I would if Cadillac’s Supercruise did the same thing. So while it’s absolutely horrible for the victim’s family, I hope they get a massive payout or force Tesla to open their books…

Oof.
