Yeah, it’s hard not do compare the same sales model being used by both. But that is like Sears saying that since they were really popular, nobody would abandon them. They had Craftsman tools, Die-Hard batteries, Kenmore appliances, among other proprietary brands. Other stores did what Sears did, but better, and sold ch…

As much as I hate to admit it, they are not going about this without a precedent, and one that is doing quite well. You may have heard of this Italian boutique manufacturer, Ferrari.

In a very real way, the financial/banking industry is the whole market. Without financial backing, nothing gets done save by barter. And there is not much profit in that. No banks, no loans. No loans, no money to buy commodities to turn into produced goods, no payroll for the workforce, no investments for expansion or…

Second grade must have been your the worst 5 years of life.

No, gains are just smaller with more certainty. Smaller profit, but profit none the less.

Yes, there are different types of uncertainty, but at the end of the day, the financial market rules it’s destiny. Insurance is there to cover unplanned events, and the markets control the commodities they sell, and markets can control growth or contraction if they want to. They plan for bad outcomes, and price…

As much as I hate dealers, too, they do add one other thing.

I’m getting sick and tired of this excuse. Uncertainty? Really? In a dynamic market? And they are scared?

Totally agree on that. We used to go to empty parking lots and do donuts until we got tired of it or cops drove by, but we didn’t have idiots standing 3 feet away while we did it. Good luck to Detroit on allowing a safer venue to have some fun.

That works only if we are talking about people who work in an office. Yes, it works well for them, as long as there is a meeting spot for face to face interactions on some meaningful level to keep the team a team. The issue is that management wants to be able to see people working (or not working) and that can only be…

Depends on which old people you mean... We tried to convert in the 1970s, but it never got done. Seems too many people, and really too many businesses, wanted to keep our old system in place, cuz ‘Murica. Now, most manufacturing uses metric, as they export. If they really wanted to, a simple bill to switch would…

Neutral: How Is Coronavirus Going To Affect The Industry Long-Term?

But then, Rhythmic Gymnastics is in the olympics, so it must be a sport watching pre-pubescent girls twirl a ribbon....

Thanks for that clarification. I sat in one at a car show prior to their release and recalled it was a manual.

My bad. I thought the Kia did come with a manual. I checked, it does not.

Well, playing Devil’s Advocate, this is not motorsport, this is showing off. Posing. Doing shit to get attention. But not sport. At the end of the day, it’s just some guy trying to be cool, not getting faster lap times or winning a race.

I have to disagree. The police are not sanctioning or running this event. It is no more likely that one could sue the police if they did NOT sign off on this and someone killed somebody while stunting in a live intersection or on a freeway. This is not being held on Police owned property. I would assume it is private…

Like on a Kia Stinger? You know, the new one that is selling like hotcakes?

Go used car shopping.....
