Why would they, when we still have an absolute lunatic in charge that can change the playing field on a whim? Why would anyone?

Honestly, I'd be fine with killing the nickel too. Just start pricing everything in tenths of a dollar instead of hundredths.

Because money.

They don't care if you or I die, but they care if tech grifters can't turn a profit.

The problem is, the US has largely held that hate speech is free speech.

And didn't even get the money up front.

Yeah, I ended up going with a Hyundai. I take delivery on it later this week, and I can't wait.

I recently went car shopping, and I had considered an EV. I told someone this, and she immediately started recommending Tesla to me, despite Elon's bullshit. She tried to tell me that Elon's insanity doesn't change that Tesla is the "best product in the space".

I have to admit, Elon's bullshit was a big factor in not even giving Tesla the time of day, but there's also issues just like this one. I do not want a car that prioritizes gee-whiz geegaws over basic safety like this.

Dude walks around looking like that and calls anyone else unattractive.

A streaming service has no name.

Can I just say, I fucking hate that line in particular. It's a thought-killing cliché.

Of course we can't know what's in anybody's mind or heart. So we have to go by their actions. And his actions were, quite plainly to anybody with eyes, a Nazi salute. And honestly, it's not surprising or shocking that he would do one; his other actions around the world scream "Nazi".

Man, for years, I had right wing dickbags telling me Snopes was leftist propaganda because it debunked all their crazy bullshit. And now they go and pull something like this.

Because there's a regulatory environment there that is deeply hostile to unions.

Stunned to see SLC, of all places, do this. I'd have thought the Mormon church would have used their considerable influence to put a stop to it. I'm sure they tried to do so, and am pleasantly surprised to see they failed.

Anyway, rock on Boise and SLC. Love you guys. Thanks for standing by our communities when it seems like everyone else is getting as far away as possible.
