Not enough, judging from behavior observed on planes & in airports over the last few years.

The social credit score plays on one of the worst traits in Chinese society, that of your social ‘face’. To Chinese face is everything, in a way westerners cannot fathom, it’s like having a score card that you are born with and eventually die with. Since most people live and die within a community, everyone knows your…

He’s a useful bogeyman for right wing nut jobs, nothing more. His parents are from Taiwan and he was born in Schenectady NY.

How many millions of Americans are on no-fly lists?

I know you’re mostly quoting the Independent but they have so many basic facts just wrong in their article that it’s incredibly hard to take their reporting seriously. Not only does China not have “states” to begin with, Hangzhou is not a province but a city near Shanghai and it’s spelled Hangzhou not Hangzou. Even…

Remember the scene in that Black Mirror episode where Bryce Dallas Howard isn’t allowed to rent one of the good cars and is stuck driving a busted up old one they only rent to undesirables? That.

Cars are made in China.

I’ve been driving over-the-road for 30 years, have probably had 25 or more pumpkins land on the Interstate next to me around Halloween; next to me because when going under an overpass within a few nights either way from Halloween I change lanes so the spotter reports the wrong lane to the dropper.

I’m in nashville. This happened a year or two ago for about a month. Someone standing on the side of the road would throw bricks through the windows of cars. Wow, apparently 9 times in 2017

Everyone has been horrible, but you just didn’t hear about it unless it was in your town.

I think the problem is weight. Manufacturers are always looking for thinner and lighter materials to improve fuel efficiency. That said, I’m not sure what material would deflect a chunk that big at freeway speeds except steel bars, 10cm thick glass, or transparent aluminum.

Manslaughter, unless you’d like the defense attorney to easily prove reasonable doubt.

I’ve tried explaining this to my friends back east with their AWD cars that it doesn’t mean shit if you have AWD when you have shitty tires. My open-diff, FWD little Civic on Firestone Winterforce’s was way less stressful to drive than my Ex’s CR-V on allseasons. Yea it sucks how expensive they are (which is why you…

Agreed.  Also, very helpful to hold your firearm sideways like you saw in the movies.

Weird - American law enforcement is usually so restrained.

Can’t have snow on the roads when your home state is on fire ...

SUV + 4 wheel-drive don’t equal snow tires...

Came here for this.  These are the same people that brag to no end about how well they drive in the snow.
