I was talking production CO2 from an EV car versus production CO2 from a traditional car. The former is much more difficult to manufacture, and releases significantly more CO2 in the process. I believe small traditional cars like the Honda Civic are by far the most responsible cars to purchase if you truly care about CO2.

I'd guess at least part of the switch is from couples having families. If you're a single (or married) 20-something with a hot job making good bank, that fancy electric car is a huge status symbol. But five years later with a kid or two, and the thing is simply impractical.

Basically, she was required by law to archive her communications on federal servers. She did not.

Also of note, according to TSG she forwarded classified intelligence Emails to Sidney Blumenthal, who was not a federal employee.

McD's will of course SAY that the moves are for better customer experience and not a reaction to increased labor costs.

But that doesn't mean the labor costs played no factor.

I'm sure their bean counters did exhaustive analysis of the cost/benefit of the change, where one of the big variables was labor cost. They'd have been irresponsible not to. It's obvious both customer experience and labor costs contribute here.

Editorializing "See, minimum wage isn't a factor! Look! Look!" clearly demonstrates a bias in the article.

Submission + - Washington Redskins stripped of trademarks 4

BillCable writes:

In a major blow to the Washington Redskins, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday canceled six federal trademarks of the “Washington Redskins” team name because it was found to be “disparaging” to Native Americans.

“We decide, based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans at the respective times they were registered,” the PTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board wrote. The panel voted 2-1 in favor of the decision.

Perhaps this move will speed up the inevitable name change which was expected within the next few years.
