The answer ISN’T Miata?

Name a failed state that operated in a rational manner. Don’t point at spain or greece for God’s sake - that just highlights that people act in a selfinterested way.

The problem with a voluntary basis of performance is that no one performs for the group.

Perhaps appearing with a burly hairy scot wearing his family kilt would help cause a bit of confusion at least. One traditional image of a ‘man’ supporting the right of others to dress as they feel comfortable. There’s gotta be someone who fits the description who’d be willing?

Ahh, a man who takes empirical evidence and shots on it because it doesn’t fit his world view. A man for whom libertarian means “we should all live in the woods because every man for himself”.

Other perspective: I as a user of an automobile, am inconvenienced by your family’s brains being scraped off a road because you bought a vehicle without seatbelts. The free market would indicate that I should be able to sue your estate for lost time, income, and inconvenience due to your negligence in choice of…

The socialists say we object to any education?

Well aware of both. In the absence of regulation, you have a free for all, offset by the penalty of the free market. Which works especially well! Let’s consider some aspects of it working brilliantly:

What about additional emissions control? CO output is a fraction of what it was I’d imagine.

Angry much? Given that the power makes more power and weighs more, with awd, why blame the government? While I generally agree that less intervention is a good thing, reducing road deaths is not an area that I would agree big brother shouldn’t be involved in.

But you don’t understand. If we allow this? What’s next! It’s a slippery slope.

I care! I want to buy a large v8 manual sedan. Because murica! So I’ll buy chev. Ss fits doesn’t it?

Correct. They have to set aside a portion of revenue as a liability based on the estimated payouts required for their guaranteed price.

As a manager at an auditing firm - everyone uses non gaap measures when talking about results. Gaap is more for consistency than anything else. I spend huge amounts of my year explaining Gaap stupidity to clients.

Thumbs up. Black humour may not be mainstream, but it helps. Stop bashing the people who use it to cope!

Again, pathetic losers too strong. Opinions are opinions and don’t define a person - unless you include a tendency to being judgemental as being part of the definition of that person.

The term hater is used by idiots who can’t speak English well enough to express themselves without making up simplistic words. My 5 year old won’t understand hater, but WILL understand “He’s not a grumpy person who doesn’t like seeing people have fun. Now go out there and have fun. If he speaks to you again tell…

Woah, step back from the precipice there. Misogyny is thrown around a lot these days. Given its definition is “dislike or contempt for women, or a prejudice against” it’s thrown around a bit too much.

The kids who never had to grow up? What sort of reference is that? If you’re referring to politics - I’d ask you to look at the people a) running for president and b) in Congress and ask yourself one question:

Most american? What about all the trucks used across the rest of the world for the past 30 years? I remember seeing police Isuzus, a hilix, ranger, etc. Sometimes, it’s the right vehicle for thee job. Although the police Nissan patrol was way more common.
