I wish the Volt were still on the market. My friend has one. Its a good size for passengers (could be a tad bigger), but has very good power and range. The gas engine gets him across country when necessary and he mostly uses the battery when he commutes.

YES

I have a friend who works for VW here in northern Virginia. He's really opposed to EVs. I think he's really into the emotions of the internal combustion engine. I asked him about the plan for the market to be dominated by EVs and he said: plans can change. I don't know how many engineers and designers who work in the Detroit Metro, Tokyo, Seoul, Munich, etc. might share those opinions but it is a bit dispiriting. When I bought my last vehicle it was the lack of available options and the range consideration that kept me from committing. I ended up with a car that made me happy 5 days a week and miserable when it came the day to fill the tank.

Yeah, this is the sort of game that the commissioner wanted

Baez cost a lot of money for this level of production.

Looks on the broadcast like we are a small town mouse being played with by the big city cat

this was worth anything i gave them

Where is the state of Chicago on this chart?

No AR-15 has ever been marketed for self-defense purposes. Its a fact. You can only use them to shoot animals and pieces of paper and some lighter cardboard.

They don't want to stop it. The Steve Bannon types are trying to cause chaos in pursuit of Leninist objectives of gaining power. People who follow along nodding as all their racial antagonisms are pushed (e.g., the people who think Kyle Rittenhouse should be made a congressman) are merely enabling these would be autocrats.

Flint man arrested at U.S. Capitol with fake badge, high-capacity magazines (detroitnews.com) Seems like he was just trying to express his freedom

The authoritarian personality disorder on display.

I was thinking if the Freep headline about sudden hiring of temp workers by Ford was subtle dig at king of the cuckoo birds who has the other EV company who tried to play in the right wing ecosphere for a while but then learned that destroying your stock's value comes at a cost and decided he had to lay a bunch of workers off. Ford promotes 3K temp UAW workers to permanent ahead of schedule (freep.com) Oh and look. She's african american so Tesla wouldn't hire her.

she might be worried that this is coming out when the hearings start.

I wouldn't place a bet either way. The Russians are hammering the Ukrainians in the East but they are stretched thin in the South. The bridge that exists to Crimea could be destroyed. if Ukraine were to cut the land bridge (mariopol) and cut that, they would severely hamper Russia's efforts in the extreme South West near Kherson.

A lot of sacred cows are threatened here. Sometimes the smart administrator tries to avoid offending local gods. In this case the local god is the cult of the firearm. That said: murdered kids.

Yes, indeed. Sometimes there isn't a third way.

Yeah, he could have. The comments about Rohrabacher and the other congressman being on the take from Russia were what killed him with the GOP.

Liability insurance has got to be part of this. That would break the back of a lot of undisciplined gun ownership. Associate meaningful regulation with the ownership of weapons similar to car ownership. There will still be illegal weapons ownership of course but the kid who can't get into dad's biometric safe he had to buy to keep his pistol won't be able to kill himself -- that way.

Just now a 3run hr for Toledo... getting the new and improved ball at AAA?

That Mudhens game has had a bit of offense, 11-14 in the 6th gd inning

Biden was good except he did the whisper where he should have shouted

AJ would be making a baller move to bench Baez until he demonstrates some plate discipline.

That are not best of series? Not many.

Faedo is fading
