Most of the people who will be there have done nothing to deserve that... Unreal.

Don't forget about cheap labor over there, economies of scale with the large Chinese market, and with a very different regulatory environment. The American auto industry has an uphill battle ahead of them.

Not to excuse the lack of innovation here, I personally blame the trend of wealth extraction for executive pay and shareholder returns at the expense of long term thinking and reduced R&D spending.

This was the part that I wouldn't do just because I view the sink as mostly clean and plunger as mostly dirty. So unless I were to sterilize the sink afterwards I wouldn't put a plunger in the sink.

Because not only did he not make the above distinction, the comments try to devalue anyone with that diagnosis.

Unfazed so far...

Very cool, but I suspect that participants will be giving up something when it's implemented. I would be curious if the user can override the load sharing when the car is needed. Would be rather annoying to go get your car and find it at half charge.

This is a good steel man response, very much like Facebook posts I have seen lately. It's really sad how much the right has abandoned listening to experts and just assuming we can apply "common sense" answers to fix problems that are complicated.

Go protestors, remember that you have the support of many many more than can be there!

I didn't get through it. I agree with your comment about the characters not resonating. I got about a third of the way in and just decided to go on to the next book in my pile.

Bad bot, Got to be an error on second to last sentence, Trump threatening to prosecute "enemies" not Biden.

You are right of course, but that's part of the joke. I think it's provokes such a viseral response because it's directly "against" the reader, not many of us can claim to be directly impacted by genocide for example, even though it's way worse.

Just in case you forgot the /s tag, that person's job isn't to collect the carts scattered across the parking lot, it's to move the carts from the cart area to inside the store. The right way to handle the lack of cart areas isn't to make the workers job harder, it's to complain to the store.
