Just like another commenter here, linking to some Fox news site about Mexicans in Chicago as if that’s relevant. Don’t ever go to Chicago, the Mexican street gangs will get you! I’m more concerned about overzealous MAGAts or Q-Anons than anyone else lately. 

1. Congrats to Japanese culture on a discomfort with littering. Both for wanting cleanliness and not wanting to be a dick to everyone around them (at least in terms of cleanliness).

“They’re just not comfortable with littering.”

Yeah, it’s like how Ford changed the base engine for the Maverick and upped the price. Now the hybrid is optional and it’s more expensive. So much for economies of scale, huh?

I sell ERP software for a living. I lose a lot of prospects because prospects know exactly what they’re getting when they deal with my company. I run into competitors pretty often who are willing to promise them the prospect moon, then blow the budget and have sales rep turn over never to be heard from again.

I thought it was the VIN at first. Sales person was like, “yep, that VIN is outdoors right now!”

It seems to me these are necessary tasks in a multinational corporation. I suppose Bob from the paint shop could handle them?

I think we can deem AMC as the producer with the highest percentage of hideous cars.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...even when that opinion is factually incorrect.

When I picture in my mind what kind of Sales Manager from my past life as a hawker of four wheeled metal boxes wrote this deal, I get conflicting images. Was it Sal, the shifty greaseball with the long leather coat whose beady eyes were constantly scanning you for ways to take your first born child’s kidney from the

$21,000,000 per year is criminal. CEO’s of these large multi-nationals are essentially interchangeable. These aren’t the creative entrepreneurs that are developing new businesses and creating new industries. These are supply-chain managers, finance wizards, and slightly sociopathic cocktail party schmoozers who know

A lot of them fit stereotypes here as well, but see some odd ones every now and then that go the other way, Elon going right has had them start showing up on Teslas now.

I hope the union keeps twisting the screws.

Hilarious. Were this not a manual wagon it’s 3K car, add 2K for configuration and maybe 5K. Rust, poverty spec, black (painted?) wheels, random wires under dash, “squeaky belts”, oh and 135K miles at least with a broken odometer...for $15.8 GTFOOH. Crackity crack crack

I wouldn’t buy it.  But then I consider BMW to be one of the most overrated, overpriced brands on the market.

From the listing:

Time for the FAA to pull his license permanently and for the courts to lock him up.  Lastly how about a pro bono lawyer to sue his pathetic ass to the poor house too.

“he told police that if he wanted to harm her he could have done so very easily, but never did”

Ah yes, definitely the kind of thing extremely innocent people say regularly.

What China is doing now is what Japan did in the 50's: Dumping: Selling products overseas at lower prices than it costs to make them while selling them at a premium domestically. This is what put a lot of US domestic Electronics manufactures out of business.
