Climate change is real, yes? And we agree that it we'll be a problem or humanity long term, right? Clearly the free market doesn't work to mitigate the issue, so the next logical step would be legislation and consumption tax, no? Are you a smoker? Do you have a problem with tobacco taxes? Do you think we should still be using asbestos, lead paint, CFLs, leaded gasoline, remove catalytic converters from cars, allow companies to leach toxins into the water like hexavalent chromium, maybe it's ok if your near by feed lot drains their s#!t pond into the local tributaries?

Is there though? If I can hire a voice actor who sounds exactly like the person I want them to emulate how is that any different than AI? It's a very murky thing that is trying to be policed.

Yes, because the scientific method doesn't exist

Yes. Comedians have impersonated politicians forever. There have been voice fakes since audio has been recorded. You can't really police that.

I'm pretty sure the government is going to eat most of the bill (which is kind of why we pay taxes, to help with catastrophic events). The companies involved are going to shelter their cash immediately because the cost of building the bridge, laws suites for deaths and for the port closing are probably going to bankrupt them.

Trump hand bras and grab'em by the thongs

Why do I get the feeling you actually counted?

So, they supposedly found the terrorist, beat the s#!t out of them till one's eye popped out and he's in a coma, hooked up a car battery to another's balls, and cut another's ear off and fed it to him (on video).

That's now how climate works. Maybe don't go teaching science or statistics.

You agree with Gaetz???

Hey David, the US already did what you said they should do 2 hours before you said they should do it.

f#&%ing awful what happened there...

Meh, they don't really play around with the recalls anymore after Takata and the GM key scandal. It's a months long process to determine if it's necessary to issue one, and the government is involved. It's usually just happenstance on the final timing that's announced.

It's not. Recalls happen all the time. I think everybody has had a recall for half a million vehicles in the last 6 months.

As has GM. The bigger issue your missing is why does a company who has been making record profits for years, just gave their CEO a huge raise, and is participating in stock BuyBacks and dividends need to lay people off? Also, those jobs won't be coming back. They're being outsourced to India just like the tech industry. Rumor is there's more to come. They capped it at 400 this time because 500 or more and they have to report it to the state of Michigan before they start the layoffs.

The first guy shot had a plastic bag he was flinging around... Of the two other guys one had a pistol and the other a skateboard. I believe Rittenhouse killed the guy with the skateboard and the other guy with the pistol was shot in the arm. Again, both those men were shot after the initial incident where he shot the guy with the plastic bag that was chasing him. I've never thought he would be convicted of murder, but there is definitely room for a civil suit and maybe manslaughter based on all his actions that led to him being there. But whatever, he's still a woman beating piece of s#!t

That's a lot of hyperbole. He was actually provoked and chased, so some form of self defense was justified. Now, he was also a minor in possession of a fire arm across state lines, and the response was disproportionate to the actual threat but the law doesn't really care about that.

Yeah... Never buy 0dte or around earnings. I've learned that lesson the hard way several times.

You should be able to set limit orders and stops for specific values. I play with options a little, but it's literally gambling unless you have enough capitol to buy options that are 6 to 12 months in the future to reduce your risk.

Let's just say hypothetically they purposefully didn't invite Tesla because of Elon. Who cares? He's extremely toxic right now and just a s#!tty person in general. We're talking about a political party that distances itself from people like John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, Al Franken, the Cuomo's, Senator Mendez, etc. and we're supposed to be mad that they snubbed a man child who calls people pedos and reposts white supremacy stuff?

Or maaaaybe the announcement wasn't only about EVs but tailpipe emissions, so it includes EVs, hybrids, and ICE vehicles. Which means it affects the big 3 more than anyone.

Did you ever stop to think what the context of that photo might be, or did you just embrace the rage bait?

I was thinking Sean Callahan's brother, but he does look like he could work in sanitation.

Our NATO allies were in country with us up until the end. I don't think the American public would tolerate leaving troops in Afghanistan (but I think they'd be shocked to know we still have troops in Iraq). That would basically be a continuation of the status quo for the last 10 years. I think the reality is that the Trump administration royal f#&%ed up the negotiations. The Biden administration made the right call to continue the withdrawal, but the planning and execution (outside of the military operations) was very poor. Biden probably should have restarted negotiations with the Afghan government and the taliban... But short of restarting the war I don't think there was anyway to keep Kabul from falling, and at that point there was no way to prevent the tragic events of the Afghanistan people at the walls of the airport. The 13 final soldiers that were killed is tragic, but they (and their families) are being used as political pawns now. The reality is they could have been killed regardless of what actions were taken and when, because it was an ISIS attack, not the taliban.
