That depends on how committed to JIT business those dealerships are. Did they apply that concept to cash flow? Building your business model around needing to make x number of sales per day, every day of every month doesn’t leave you with much room for unforeseen circumstances. Laying off sales staff wouldn’t shake…

The Dutch also LOVE piracy.  It is astonishing how large of a percentage of pirated media is dutch language, considering how small of a percentage of the world speaks that brutal language.

I like how the uproar over the ending dispelled the myth that Sopranos fans were “sophisticated”. They all thought there was something wrong with their cable, despite the fact the screen went to black on beat with the song. It was an obvious production move, but people couldn’t process something like that. Apparently…

I was thinking more of Mickey Munday from “Cocaine Cowboys”. When they were doing a run through the Haulover Inlet, they would have a diversion boat ready to be scuttled with the intent of telling the Coast Guard there were children in the water. That would direct all the attention away from their coke runner boat.

Driven by an affluent immigrant who thinks they have a status symbol, but aren’t aware of what that status truly is. (sucker!)

Sounds like the basis for much of China’s economy.

Ad blockers exist.

There’s a large number of well-to-do people who are remarkably dumb.

Henry Winkler?

How much of this latest special is Dave sucking on a vape pen?  Dude has a serious addiction problem, and it’s killing his voice.

Perfect video for sweater season!

Don’t worry, an OTA update* will fix everything!

Thanks for that info. I got the J&J around that same time and am now wondering what booster route I should take. Having not been sick at all in a dozen years, the side effects are rather concerning to me. Was happy the J&J was nothing more than injection site tenderness after hearing so many stories of flu-like…

She must have a stylist as a full time staffer. She has a different look every goddam day, never repeating the same outfit. Someone should do a count of how many different pairs of glasses she’s worn in the past 2 years. It must be exhausting to put together a new look every single day. That’s not style, that’s more…

First they came for the billionaires, and I said “hell yeah” because I wasn’t a billionaire.

In general, most immigrants were people rejected by their home countries for a number of reasons, most of them bad. Either their home country was a shitstorm (Italy & Ireland) or they themselves were no longer welcome and were “transported” (exiled).  Very few Americans want to trace their roots to find their ancestor…

This is because of the Reagan-era tax code changes that elevated the investor class above the working class. Capital gains from investments are taxed at a much lower rate than wages/salary, so executives prefer stock options to cash. It’s why, for example, Tom Cruise makes movies via his production company instead of…

You mean the error message isn’t “unable to blah, blah, blah”? 

In this context, does “being great parents” mean that they hire a good nanny?  Because there’s nothing in their past that suggests they will do much more than that, other than John screwing the nanny at some point and Oliva banging the pediatrician.
