So you’re saying that you’re confident that every purchase you’ve made hasn’t had any... shall we say, ‘ethical’ compromises associated with how it was developed, constructed, shipped, or utilized?

You know that’s not how the world works, right?

I mentioned crash worthiness and I’m not convienced the benefit outweighs the drawbacks.

The increasingly ‘pill-box on Normandy’ design language associated with modern cars.

I’m not sure what the thought experiment is trying to demonstrate in relation to this issue.

Because he was demonstrably not responsible for the bridge fiasco. He was tangentially involved - but that’s it.

After all this build up and hype, I’d very much enjoy seeing Fast and Furious XI come out as: “My Dinner With Dante”.

This is exactly it. There are plenty of things about Bezos that warrant condemnation without having to make things up or exaggerate facts.  The bridge situation was entirely blown out of proportion because it seemed like an easy thing to be outraged about. 

That’s fair - I did see one for $10,900 in Belgrade and I figured his ‘around 10k’ target price could include a little over. If pushed, I’d recommend he hold off on the aftermarket head unit, and go with a 2013 Fit - even if it was a bit pricier than he wants to spend.

At the risk of being mind-numbingly unimaginative, I have to think that the right answer is the newest / fewest km Honda Fit you can find.  With winter tires ours is a trooper in the snow.  It gets phenomenal fuel economy.  It’s got the best size : space ratio of any car I’ve owned.  And it’s as reliable as hell.

The internet is as good a place as anywhere - and posts about a multi-billionaires fleet of yachts is, of course, deserving of it all. My own sarcasm could probably, also, have been more clearly conveyed - since I agree, the very idea of a 500 M private yacht being environmentally sound is pretty hilarious - whether…

I mean clearly some people do, otherwise no one would record the times and compare them, right?

That’s how it was advertised. Please direct your snark elsewhere.

Got to say, it feels like this is sort of undoing all the environmental benefits associated with having your flagship - lets pause for a moment to consider that this man now as a fleet that sails with him - being powered by the wind.

Those are classics, though.  A 2010 Lamborghini is still a fairly modern car.  I mean - that’s 2013.  By your analogy it’d be more like watching a high school student crush Usain Bolt.

If I was paying a quarter million for it?  Yeah, I would.

So you’re telling me that a Lamborghini buyer should be happy knowing that their car is only going to be quicker around this track than a Civic for about a decade or so?  I suspect most would disagree. 

I mean it’s still a Civic taking a lap faster than a Lamborghini. Sure, it’s a 10 year old Lamborghini... but it’s still a Lamborghini.  

That sounds about right, given that so many of their TV ads are a nipple away from being soft-core porn. 

They can have their fucking plane back when they give up all the land they’ve taken from Ukraine and paid reparations for all the dead civilians and destroyed infrastructure.
