Pretty sure the federal budget is a little over $6 trillion

Um it’s called soft focus sweaty. Hitchcock used it on the pretty girls in his camera all the time, why can’t I?

She was basically like this. I just stuck my phone camera up to her tank at her hidey hole and forgot to turn flash off but you shouldn’t worry about her eyes

Ew black painted front door

Less moving parts means an entire drivetrain replacement when something inevitably goes wrong and maintenence =/= repairs

Never forget that the border deal that Trump ordered senate Republicans to veto was one of the most comprehensive policy proposals in decades

You can squish whatever words you want to put together but ethnic cleansing is not colonialism but nice bait lol. Almost took it and then decided to just block you

If you see Russians coming from the other side, panic.

From Wikipedia:

Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.

Lebensbraum means “living space.” The Nazis didn’t want to exploit the Slavs, they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.

blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all “western” (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?

Italians weren’t considered white until like 40 years ago and Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings like other European countries.

So yes, please read a book.

The repairability is a much bigger concern for me than reliability. When even opening the motor housing is grounds for warranty termination in most EVs, it’s easy to understand why so many people are still buying ICEs

Hillary please just shut up and keep doing your $60,000 speeches on Wall Street. No one will ever like you and you are poison for the Democratic Party

My general impression of blue collar union workers is that they are some of the dumbest, most ineffectual and short-sighted organisms to be given the title of “sentient.” It’s really no surprise to me

Eh, I was quite happy with my 3800 Buick LeSabre with the front bench seat, but I know that was an outlier for GM even in 2002

Isn’t lumbar support just a bit of marketing that Herman Miller made up in the 90s and that those kneeling chairs are actually the best ways to sit for long periods of time?

Why would anyone buy a GM product made within the past 20 years and expect a good experience??? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

It’s much cheaper (and better for psychological conditioning to the Policed States of America) to just hire the cheapest community college dropouts with a pant size bigger than their IQ than it is to attract, train, and maintain a respectable (read: “for the community”) police force. If the US adopted similar requirements for their police as a country like Germany, I’d imagine we’d lose well over half of our force instantly, with most of the rest quitting soon after being asked to not shoot people at the first sign of noncompliance.

Everyone wants “[thing], cheaper,” and forty years ago, it was Japan, sixty, West Germany. Hell, China doesn’t even make most of the disposable junk you think of when you hear “Made in China” these days, their manufacturing has matured past that and most of that injection-molded, high-tolerance, lowest-bidder stuff has been shipped further down SEA.

Literally every other police force in the world could handle some untrained bloke with a pocket knife, ditto for a pair. They do it every day.

But no, the solution here is to never have a system in place where the people catching fare jumpers are the same mentally unstable domestic abusers who are given a carte blanche to kill anyone who does anything less than kiss the ground they walk on

Imagine killing three people over a $2 subway fare and parading around the city like you’re anything other than a domestic terror force

“The Chinese” =/= China’s economic exports.

Yeah dude, it’s racist to say “the Chinese make bad quality products” as if race has anything to do with it. It’s just basic economics and the country’s found a (apparently very profitable) niche. You’re a fool to believe that “the Chinese” can’t make high-quality, premium stuff domestically.
