Silicon valley is only the smartest at sitting in a room smelling their own farts.

I think progressives (which I think most of this site’s writing staff is or tries to be) has more or less turned on silicon valley because its become evident that, at best, silicon valley is just as morally bankrupt as any established company in whatever industry they are trying to “disrupt.” At worse, they are…

I’d also like to see a high frequency trading tax as well. If that’s too complicated, then a straight up trade tax. HF trading would be the most affected, as it should be.

I agree with you. The hedge fund manager getting paid in gains should be at the same rate as the small business owner with his 10 vehicle plumbing repair business on an LLC.

Just look at what will happen to those who rioted at the US Capitol on January 6th.  Those who trespassed on that day will get charged and some will face jail time.  Those who sent them there, the politicians who kept telling the people that the election was stolen, who organized the rallies and kept tweeting and…

Yes you CAN do all those things - but at the current pricing only because of unfair advantages our regulatory system affords trucks. Why should they have more lax CAFE expectations when not being used for commercial purposes? Close those loopholes and you’ll see the take rate go down as well (and/or trucks for leisure…

Did I say it didn’t need to be resolved? No. I said I didn’t suggest a resolution.

I’ve always found it weird that people concern themselves with what other people are buying.

When I was a kid, leaded gas was still a thing and catalytic converters were not a thing. The whole world smelled like you were standing at a busy intersection. We’d go down to my grandpa’s farm in southern indiana and that was the only place I knew where that constant smell didn’t exist. And still, when a truck would…

I agree.

Oh man, I would love for Dr. Levine to have responded with “Sen. Paul, are you circumcised?”, as horrifying as it would be to envision, it would have been amazing to see how he responded.

Neutral: For a lot of systems they already do. The Takata airbags didn’t get into seemingly everything by accident.

Treat them like a BLM protest.

If they can’t afford it then they can get a different hobby, same as everyone else. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to afford flying lessons in the past, but the cost grew prohibitive, so I got a different hobby. I have friends that like to go hunting, but the cost of tags and the travel times to the deer trails all…

At a Trump rally.

Sure, but there will always be human error. The issue here is the purposeful and deliberate disregard for physics and the safety of others by these street racers. I don’t see soccer moms pushing their SUV’s past 100MPH and hitting a nitrous button just to impress their friends. People died here for a joyride, man.…

Fucking sideshows and takeovers. I would not shed a tear if they completely disappeared.

On public streets? Abso-fucking-lutely.

But Raph is really only known for one thing: giving absolutely obnoxious and horrible takes about transportation, especially ones not about bicycles (the worst and least useful kind of transportation). Expecting anything more from this blog site is asking for a lot, and Raph can’t break from his usual rhetoric without…

We’re all animals, eating human and eating cow is exactly the same thing.
