WTF is up with the mouse on the donut? 

Maybe you took a job that was not highly desirable. The Mexicans get all the highly desirable jobs like picking strawberries.

I’m down $43K in the last two weeks but that’s just in my day trading account. I’ve been holding 3X more money in cash in anticipation of a recession, which meant that I lost out on the rally last fall and earlier this year, but I fully plan to put it to work when the market gets below certain S&P benchmarks.

The rear end droop is what killed Infiniti back in the 90s. I believe that their insistence that the ideal profile for a car was a big curve drove a lot of car buyers to Lexus.

Polls don’t mean anything. Clinton won the popular vote too. The electoral college is what matters, and really only the delegates in the swing states.

I thought his reelection was inevitable last fall. But incumbents rise and fall based on the economy. This has been demonstrated over and over again. And if the coronavirus slows the economy, the election becomes a toss-up. If it kills the economy, I’m going to D.C. to watch Biden or Sanders get sworn in.

He and his mother collected a large amount of money from the 9/11 victim’s fund. I would expect the rest of the house to look like every other expensive house in Staten Island: ornate brown and gold.

It is a secret unless you have memorized the menu prices. And most restaurants do NOT do this, so you can’t say that it is expected just by using the service. It’s a deceptive practice, and defending them by saying, “if it’s too much don’t buy it” misses the whole point. Would you defend a car dealer who lies to a…

Lol. I think my Machu Picchu stamp is right next to my Cayman Island stamp.

Except that you doin’t see the regular price. You see the inflated price and have no idea that people ordering takeout from the restaurant directly are paying less from the restaurant’s regular menu.

After 20 years of walking Manhattan streets, I recently moved to the burbs with a walkable downtown, that has mid-block crosswalks. My anecdotal experience is not the same as yours. Cars driven by young people never yield. NEVER. Old jalops to new and expensive. Tinted windows with mods? Never yield.

Except here, the price of the goods is secretly marked up, and you pay that in addition to the fees for services. I think that’s the point of the article.

Yup. I used to own a 5MT Accord with a whopping 145 hp. I would just gun it in 2nd half the time. 

My brother and I are responsible for around 7 manual A4s circulating the U.S. (i.e. we leased or bought new). Someone was always waiting to snatch it up. Of course, that was when the cars were under warranty, so...

He must be driving a manual. 

I’ve got a pretty good stockpile of cash waiting for the markets to crash. I’ll do it when the streets of Manhattan are as empty as Wuhan.

If I lived in The Villages in Florida, I would buy one of these instead of a golf cart.

In NYC, the homeless charge their cell phones on the street in two ways: the advertising/wifi kiosks that exist every few blocks in Manhattan, and for the more savvy, a jerry-rigged light pole. I suspect both methods could be adapted to charge this car.

I always request no sprouts on my pad thai. They are disgusting to me. If you just want the crunch, you could probably get the same texture by slicing the thicker parts of cabbage leaves. 

What’s that, Trader Joe’s in Manhattan? I used to live by the one on 23rd St. The people shopping at TJs are there because it’s the cheapest option. Go to the Whole Foods two blocks away and the lines are much more reasonable at the same time because it’s more expensive. This Amazon store is not going to be the cheap…
