You are correct on a lot of points, but I have to fundamentally disagree with your assessment that Tesla will continue to be the go-to for EVs in the not-so-distant future. Look at the history of automotive manufacturers. The success in early adoption does not translate into future success. If so, Ford would still be…

Jan Hooks, my god she was great! How I miss her comedic talent.

It’s colonialism without actual conquering another government and replacing it with your own. This is economic, they are buying the assets, and then exploiting them. They don’t tend to build bases, only having foreign bases in Djibouti, Myanmar, and Tajikistan. The USA has bases in just about every country we can get…

Well, it is probably the easiest proven idea that gets rejected, so there is a good argument for the Flat Earthers as the worst. But they really don’t do any harm, do they? They are just stupid, and they self-identify to make it easier on the rest of us to ignore them after they state their claim.

Maybe, but probably a lot faster than you think.

I don’t know, the Moon-landing denyers and anti-vaxx folks may get upset. And let’s not forget the QAnon folks. Or denying the Holocaust, or claiming that the Earth is hollow and filled with the lizard people who make up the majority of the Illuminati.

As a native of the state of Florida, may I offer our apologies for the actions and words of the elected official who made these derogatory misogynistic comments. As our representative, he should be doing his absolute best to represent our state in public discourse, and he failed miserably.

But you really are defending Ellen. And the fact that it is her employees working on her behalf that are being named (along with her directly, please remember what her bodyguard has said, among others) means that she is directly responsible as well. As an employer, you are responsible for those acting on your behalf,…

Well, not surprising, really. The whole COVID-19 slowdown has led to McD’s radically rethinking the menu, and making it wayyyyyy smaller, and simpler. That led to a boost in profits along with faster service, and the franchisees liked that a lot. So TB is thinking the same way. Get rid of stuff that is not really…

It’s only a 3-4 K price difference. True. But that is over a 25% difference.

Meh, it’s just a woman doing what men have been doing for a very, very long time. A relationship doesn’t have to be perfect, and we men tend to not look for just one person to satisfy every one of our emotional and physical needs. I have no idea why women would not do the same.

3rd Gear: Purge At Volkswagen

Thanks, that was my point.

No, nobody is trying to make it cool.

You have utterly missed the entire point. Like, totally.

Uh, working 5 days a week, they will produce 6 cars in a week, or 1.2 cars per day on average. I guess math is not your strong suit.
