What is often forgotten in this conversation is a fundamental difference between unions in the USA vs. those in Europe. American unions have to negotiate for things like pensions and health care insurance funding, whereas European unions do not.  Those items are huge line items in any employment contract.  Not…

I’m confused by the concept of an actor returning to a movie production to do reshoots and he doesn’t think it’s a big deal that his hair looks totally different than it did in any of the previously shot scenes.  Continuity? 

Phil Condit was an engineer.  He was also a scumbag who had no business being a CEO.  Be careful what you wish for, as you might get a CEO from Wish.com .

Looks like Nick Hogan may have finally found his soul (cell) amte.

I have to admit I am unfamiliar with these new Chinese EVs. How well can 3 Americans totaling 800+lbs. fit in one of them? If they can fit, what does that do to the car’s range? Perhaps there is an unvoiced reason why these cars may not be as successful in the US as some are predicting?

Shoot, a Model T could have tackled this 100 years ago.

If a line worker didn’t tighten your balljoints, line dancing certainly will!

I opened 3 new Tabs. Now what?

Can Boeing really be considered a “Washington-based plane maker” when they moved their HQ to Chicago 20 years ago and have fractured their operations all over the world?

So much hair dye in that picture.

So it has nothing to do with America’s incessant fetishizing of the military for the past 20+ years? Because the colors I am seeing are Battleship Grey and Desert Khaki. You can give them whatever arthouse names you want, but if you are selling them to current & former military members and cosplay cowards, they are…

This reminds me of attending a trailer-park-Jesus private school near SeaTac in the 1980's. If a 747 flew over us while someone was saying a prayer aloud, they would pause until the plane cleared, as though Jesus couldn’t hear above the noise.

I hope I will enjoy my show.

I really like those photos from the “golden age” that show planes with 10ft of headroom and 30ft wide. How easily people are fooled into thinking that’s what airplane cabins really looked in a 707 or 727.

As a former victim of one of these kinds of private Xtian schools, I can say I am not surprised that they are making up rules as they go. The entire point of these schools is to allow for the discrimination that Brown v. Board was supposed to prevent. When your founding principle is shunning “evil” to make yourself…

More likely that a lawmaker made an out for his drunken thief of a teenage son who had no intentions of keeping that Charger he “borrowed” from the neighbors.

Somehow, I bet you will be offered an extended vehicle warranty on one of these.

The disaster of the Phil Condit era led directly to the era of Boeing breaking up their manufacturing base in WA and spreading it all over the country (to non-union states like SC). With a dozen little fiefdoms now wrestling for budget increases and cost savings, it should be no surprise that QA plummeted.

Why has Apple been spending so much money on research for their EV, when they could just steal all the necessary tech from BYD?

Boeing announces massive layoffs so frequently that no one really pays attention anymore. They are constantly hiring, so the headcount generally stays the same. The problem is that even with the endless turnover, they still seem to hire mostly idiots and assholes.
