But you mean your company isn’t willing to make a years long investment in on-shore manufacturing capacity when the scales that make it advantageous to the company can change in any direction, at any point, for any made-up reason, by any amount? Don’t they love investing in America?

For real.
The exact same meal for my family, after they eliminated all the good coupons in the app in the last year — but especially after they stopped doing the BOGO$1 deal for cheeseburgers, went from $17 to $43. There are a lot of food options for that price, and McDonald’s isn’t at the top of that list. If anything, it’s just made me return to cooking more at home, rather than going to a sit-down restaurant.
McDonald’s was fast, good, and cheap. The last one is no longer true and, because of the price, the middle (compared to other options at the price point) isn’t either. So why should I care how fast it is unless that is literally my only condition to consider?
To a certain extent, I agree with you. It is even in their own book— turning the other cheek. And despite everything, I think kindness always counts.
That said, there comes a point where I feel I need to see if I can drag the horse to the water rather than hoping it will follow me there. If it doesn’t, perhaps it is a lost cause and I should go find another horse. Know what I mean?
It’s just hard to find where that moment is, especially if it is family.
You mean with all this financial stability and prosperity no one is out spending like there’s no tomorrow? Whaaaat?
Well no shit. I’m sure no one saw this conflict of interest as an issue. Surely it is just a complete coincidence and everyone is freaking out over nothing.
Don’t worry, you can upgrade to Duolingo Max for even more money and have the AI explain it. (Seriously.)
Imagine going through life with this much hate. It’s got to be lonely and exhausting.
Hire the folks that did the Russian cope cages in Ukraine parody from a few years ago. That was particularly impressive.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
What a cool story.
Something something Four Seasons.
As long as he doesn’t have to pay any more to fund those silly social programs like checks notes food safety and misconduct enforcement. That’s straight up woke bullshit. /s
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is laughing as they accelerate their solar installations, because there is more availability with the manufacturers free of American demand, and America falls even further behind.
But don’t worry, everyone, coal will give us energy independence.
What an unbelievable own goal you goddamn morons.
Hey guys, got this really great idea. We generate a lot of electricity, and then we use that to make compressed hydrogen, and then we use that for our cars. Also we need to figure out how to warehouse it for fueling, and how to transfer it, and how to store it effectively once it’s in the car, but once we get through ALL of that then we’ll finally have a hydrogen powered future and we can…. Wait we could just put the electricity from the first step into the car and eliminate the rest?

I threw it on an old PC a few weeks ago and am pleasantly surprised at how polished it is.
Finally read the Bible?
C’mon, world, you can do better than that. Those are rookie numbers.
Other than the takeoff and landing, cars have to deal with those obstacles as well.
A computer running a citywide automated traffic system for cars would have all the same complexity, without the ability to separate traffic in three dimensions.
There are a whole lot less obstacles and unknowns in the air, as well as more planes (ha!) of separation available than a car.
When flying, you don’t really need to worry much about random pedestrians, for example.
If the entire system were completely automated, from the car all the way to ATC, and it’s essentially a taxi that you just tell what location to go to and it handles the rest… well that’s basically air traffic today minus the automated ATC part. (That isn’t to diminish pilots at all; just that I think it’d be a lot easier, in general, to replace a pilot than a taxi driver with automation. They’re both still extremely challenging problems.)
The last two words are not needed.
That is a very good point that I hadn’t considered, thanks for your response.
To your point, that just makes it even more of a ridiculous proposition.
