So it has standards and not just “fuck it... autopilot” ?

Doing what they’re doing is a far more complicated policy decision than you’re identifying - with plenty of complications and problems that make 2035 an aggressive deadline. Just a few of them:

I love my kids, but leaving their bedrooms after tucking them in is my absolute favorite time of the day. 

I know a lot of parents were really familiar with this concept well before the pandemic. I’m not complaining about my kids, and having them was a choice (to head off the inevitable comments the internet seems to think need to be said every time someone mentions having kids involves some level of work) and all that,…

IDK, it sounds like the CEO or president of NASCAR coming to him in tears in the middle of dinner, choking down every word saying a hate crime was committed against him had something to do with it. That guy needs to sort out his emotions. Bubba is in the middle of a media storm, best thing to do is disconnect from…

I would not be surprised. Not being black I would not use that term. But since I too am white I can call a redneck Trump-supporting noose-tying moron a dumbass hillbilly cracker with impunity. It’s my birthright, homie.

Unless you’re Irish, of course.

Also he didn’t report it, someone on the team did. 

Some of my...friends...are upset that he caused such a commotion for nothing, and should be embarrassed that he mistook a door pull for a noose, and drivers ought to “know better” what a door pull is, and that we shouldn’t be so careful with people’s feelings.

So the current “explanation” going around my racist family is that it was the pull handle for the garage. That’s after the “explanation” it was actually a serpentine belt.

Only derange antifa leftists who HATE AMERICA would talk about love or happiness.

Wrong kid died!

You know who has hands? The Devil. And he uses them to hold things.

Those were great, but my favorites were the Alec Baldwin ones.  I know he’s an asshole but he’s funny and they had a great time together.

I mean, shelter is a fundamental need. Being able to fix your home to keep it habitable is pretty essential.

As noted by others, WD likely finds it easier to maintain safe working conditions. It’s easier to separate these workers, if they weren’t already a safe distance from others. They have stringent clean rules already due to the nature of what is made. And they actually acted somewhat responsibly when lockdown started in…

Storage for devices that run personal/government/military computers is far more essential than manufacturing for niche vehicles during a pandemic where tons of people aren't driving.

It makes a little more sense that a hard disc drive manufacturer/data storage company might be considered essential while an electric (largely luxury) car manufacturer is not.

The united states prides itself on personal rights and liberties and people fight tooth and nail for what they believe is right, even if its dead wrong.

Neutral: Auto companies that sell internationally will have to spend on R&D for fuel economy and emissions regardless of US requirements, so no savings there.
