“We are simply responding to the fact that Americans aren’t buying small cars”

Yeah cause you fucks won’t sell them to us.

Yeah, I wonder if the next refresh will include a HUD.

She’s had years to train up a successor, at this point it’s just blind power hungry arrogance.

Yeah. I also like the commitment to use the connector on their future non-ultium models.

I think the issue with introducing speed cameras is that it’s hard to convince folks it’s about safety and not just a cash grab.

I’d argue that changing speed limits without actually changing the design of the roads will not improve safety significantly.

There is a great video from Not Just Bikes on the subject: https://youtu.be/bglWCuCMSWc

I use malic acid to tune acidity, earl grey tea to play with tannins, and you can always cut up a few pounds of apples and throw them in there to get some of the flavors from the skins + flesh.

Depends on how nutty the judiciary is willing to be.

There are a few different things touched on in your comment, and I’ll try to respond to them all, sorry if I miss any.

1. Losing jobs with no demand is not a bad thing. If you list a job, and nobody will take it for a year, then the market doesn’t want that job. There is an tendency to obsess over the number of jobs as a marker of economic health, but it’s a correlation at best.

2. The restaurant industry specifically is hugely over saturated, plenty of restaurants succeed paying a living wage, if you can’t then you need to make adjustments (e.g. change menu, move to a different location, etc).

3. A restaurant which can’t turn a profit is a hobby, not a business.

I imagine that at some point a UBI will be necessary, due to the lack of jobs lost to automation, but the purpose of UBI should never be to support the exploitation of workers. In fact it’s thought processes like that which make people argue against implementing UBI “Well if my landlord knows I get 1000 a month from UBI he will just charge me 1000 more for rent” or “If my boss knows I get 1000 a month from UBI then he’ll drop my salary by 1000 a month”.

If you dig into this, the subtext is that he is admitting to defamation in order to try to avoid participating in the lawsuit’s discovery process. So if anything, he’s probably doing this to protect Trump and others. This doesn’t mean anything negative for Trump.

I’m sure that this violates the second amendment somehow. /s

I think even more broadly, they want to encourage the harassment of anyone who goes outside their definition of what is culturally acceptable.

At this point it’s like saying that water is wet.

They probably didn’t see his testimony as valuable given that they seem to use the “speech and debate clause” as a “get out of consequences free” card.

Truth, they’ll never stop trying.

This seems semi-reasonable, especially for Judge Cannon. Most analysis I’ve heard expects going through the CIPA process to really slow down discovery.

“No such thing as bad publicity” comes to mind.

Are there any apples in there?

Shocked to see that the original challenge came from a Kankakee County judge /s

The last time Trump received a target letter from the DOJ (6/7/23) he was indicted two days later (6/9/23).

Let’s hope for a similar timeline.
