  • Capitol/capital is one of the stupidest word pairs in the English language. Like, why didn’t they just settle on capitol for the seat of government including both the city and the building? And then use capital for large letters and money-related terms?

  • There was a whole line of outstanding Civic models for a while there. I miss the Del Sol.

  • Regrettably, that doesn’t work on my TV.

  • Airbags don’t cost $30000 to add to a car. Seatbelts have been around since the 1960s.

    Technology like this gets cheaper as it becomes a commodity. Look at how cheap flat panel tvs have gotten.

    Manufacturers like VW make affordable cars that meet safety standards — they just don’t sell them in the US because Americans like to waste money on giant SUVs and trucks that they don’t really need. The profit margins are much higher.

  • Because Chinese cars are priced at a loss to corner the market and put competition out of business.

    Meanwhile VW and other manufacturers make smaller more affordable cars, but they don’t sell them here.

  • YSK: If you turn off this feature, you cant use the “never show this ad again” feature on YouTube.

    I have mixed feelings about this because if Chik Fil A wants to waste its money repeatedly showing its ads to a gay vegetarian — by all means, let me help you empty your pockets. But if you’re Kristy Noem showing me a “we’re going to deport you” ad — i want to throw my remote at my TV.

  • If Google actually honors this setting.

  • Photography has always been political.

  • YSK: The average citizen doesn’t have much control over the cork in the bottle.

    This administration is repeatedly and consistently provoking people. Randomly shooting people in the face, and talking about sending the military to Minnesota is going to cause things to boil over if the other people we elected don’t step in and force them to cool down.

  • Shouldn’t that be Judge Judy on the bench in that illustration? I mean if you’re going to use AI, at least make it fun.

  • If congress, supreme court, and executive are majority same party — there’s no power left to check or balance.

    If we had ranked choice voting, we might not be in this mess. Everything devolving into a two-party system has led us to this.

  • I can think of so many better things to do with $1 billion.

  • 35%: “I don’t care. I’d still vote for him again.”

  • I definitely do not think the Trump administration has a plan, other than to bankrupt the US.

    I will never understand how its cheaper to:

    • cut down lumber in Canada
    • put it on a ship to China
    • have a Chinese factory make furniture out of it
    • put the furniture on a ship and send it back to Canada

    The labor is cheaper there sure, but all the shipping back and forth should have evened some of that out. It’s nuts to me.

  • Scientists have been warning this for years, but nothing is being done and nothing will be done. We have vaccines to prevent flu in livestock, but we don’t bother to use them for whatever short sighted reason. 🤷‍♂️

  • Well then, I guess we should all just become slaves to China since it’s not worth putting a fight. 🙄

    Equalizing the playing field was part of the legislation that Canada just got rid of in order to import cheap (subsidized and possibly made with slave labor) Chinese cars.

    Someone else mentioned the US. We had those industries in the US, and we let them wither on the vine. Now we can’t manufacture cars because one of the controller chips is single sourced and the country that it comes from is tied up in some sort of “geopolitical tension”. Our clothes are made in sweatshops by slave labor. And many of our generic drugs are coming from countries that don’t have quality standards so they don’t work at all, or worse they actually make people sick. But hey, at least they’re cheap!
