  • To be fair GM sold or closed a lot of its brands and foreign subsidiaries, and paid back the loan.

    I fucking hate what the US auto industry has historically and is currently doing (making constantly bigger and more expensive trucks in a time we need smaller lighter EVs), but it’s actually a bit different from the SpaceX or EV credit subsidies and more of a low interest loan.

    The US has far too many dispersed rural towns for public transit to cover. Yes we need more high speed rail and light rail, but we’re gonna need personal cars because of distances, weather and employment practices for a long time still. And there’s no reason they need to be 3 ton high speed blind spots.

  • The massive offset on those wheels are an even bigger issue. It messes up handling and ruins the ball joints and wheel bearings, while making it more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians and throwing stones in the air for anyone unfortunate enough to be near that thing in motion.

  • Until 9/11 we could visit Canada and Mexico with a drivers license or birth certificate and 3/4 of the time only the driver has to show theirs and just vouch for the whole car.

    We drove through southern Ontario probably 20 times in the more 80s alone.

  • It’s been one of the most interesting and hardest part of raising our child, he’s been super defiant at home, or with people he’s comfortable with, but very obedient with teachers or people he deems authorities.

    He’s actually gotten fairly self aware of it, but he’s only 7 so we’re gonna keep working on it and help him figure out some coping strategies.

  • The added tax revenue would also make the rural places these vacation home are in more sustainable for regular residents. And probably keep local governments and even small hospitals solvent.

  • And 59 years after landing on the moon we’ve just been watching Space X rockets explode instead of going back on rockets NASA proved it could engineer with slide rules and drafting tables.

    Listened to an album I haven't thought about in a while.
