"Symptomatic of US decline" Not at all. This is just capitalism doing what capitalism does. The old and fat companies (Ford) get entitled and lazy and then they get overtaken by the nimble new startups like Tesla, Rivian, etc.

Nobody cared when Tarkin was in Rogue One

So they're still posting to 8 different places. Poor social media employees must be exhausted and simply can't manage a 9th copy-and-paste for a measly 2 million impressions.

They seriously ranked Tim Cook over Woz? Apple wouldn't exist without Woz.

I love watching leftists who used to worship Elon as a god now hate on him because he said some things they don't like.

We should get Trump to move it

Is there a contest I don't know about for who can come up with the dumbfuckest ideas?

Did your parents follow you around as a teenager to make sure you weren't drinking beer and looking at playboy magazines? No? Those lazy bastards!

Amen. I've been screaming this at the wall of neckbeards on here for a long time.

It feels good briefly but hurts worse in the long run. It just means Ford and GM are circling the drain and the new kids on the block (Tesla, et al) will end up replacing them.

Step 1: Find a young entrepreneur with agency. Step 2: .... Step 3: Profit!!!! Except they are purposely leaving out step 2, which is: Pump 20 million in startup cash into the company with the goal of goading other rich VCs into pumping it up as well. Get the company up to 1 billion and then you sell out your shares. Step 3 is now complete. All you had to do is be the first one and then convince everyone else to follow suit.

School has always discouraged people from getting into reading by forcing students to read books they hate. I did read a ton of sci-if books in high school but they were books I wanted to read. I did not like the books the teacher made us read. BTW, I graduated in 1999 and I had to read full novels in English class.

Just go take the test on site. It's not that hard. If a certification is that important to your career you will put in the required effort.

They just need to switch over to taxing by mileage. My state has yearly safety inspections already. Just charge an additional fee at inspection time that is based on current odometer reading minus previous reading from last year.

Nobody cares about seeing your face. No one at my work uses video in Zoom calls. All of our meetings are always audio only and we get things accomplished that way just fine.
