I hope they make sure to also include under-designed timing chains and associated tensioners, oil passages that become easily blocked, plastic impellers for water pumps, and - oh - just all sorts of other plastic stuff that wears horribly and has about a 10-year-life...because their business model demands catastrophic…

Just... pay people more?  Or we can keep begging for cheaper prices on goods while continuing to ignore the fact that adjusted wages have barely moved in 3+ decades.

Don’t get this twisted: Trump’s scattershot tariffs have absolutely nothing to do with world trade. That’s the misdirection play. Trump’s tariffs make no sense in terms of international trade because that’s not the purpose of them.

In a news cycle that is mostly Trump-based doom and gloom, the phrase “the sporty RSX” was mighty hilarious.

the plan is for them to build more affordable cars

Oh look, they’re still missing the point.

Also worth noting that nothing in that quote talks about things getting better. Nothing in any quote talks about how any of these decisions will actually improve anything. Not even a concept of how things can get better anymore. 

“Trump is billing the move as a means of clamping down on crime and immigration from the three nations”

“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said.

Once again over-estimating how truly evil Trump is. He will lie. He will make others lie. They will have zero issues making false records, evidence, etc. The only thing they will not be able to lie about is who died and what the living witnesses can attest to... and even then they can do a lot to coerce the living…

You missed the “if”, I see.

Dulles is a better airport and, like you said, now that the Metro is connected, I don't see a need to keep DCA open. I didn't see a need BEFORE IAD had a Metro line, but the Metro is just icing on the cake

Well, You’re awfully hopeful that there will be anything close to a normal investigation or outcome. Its been less than 2 weeks and the fat orange guy and the task members of project 2025 have already done what they said they would do: Gut the government, fire all fireable employees and then replace all of them with…

I’m sure DCA staying open has 100% to do with all of the politicians not wanting to have to fly into Dulles and then drive (be driven) into DC... all of a 30 minute drive likely driven by a staffer anyway.

I’m shocked. This is my shocked face. You’re telling me that Trump is a disingenuous lying gas bag who only punches down? You mean he’s an idiot racist that will just whinge at an conservative bugaboo that the TV sad was bad? 

I like the cut of your jib.

The answer to this is a Toyota Sienna.  Or a Honda Odyssey.  That’s it.

Trump’s cutbacks must have included his make-up lady; you can see the line of demarcation where she got grossed out touching his neck wattle.

The lead pic, and I noticed his pics yesterday. JFC does the man do his own makeup? Really bad. I wear a tinted moisturizer/sunscreen but the trick to dudes wearing some face paint now & then is to not make it that noticeable. He’s reminding me of demented Bette Davis in “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”

Even though I might be crouching in the smoking ruin of America, I will laugh the day Trump’s malevolent abuse of federal power comes down full force on Musk.
