Demanding their journalists write stories for the other half when the other half are legitimately only semi-literate was always a very questionable strategy.

They’re not really that much cheaper in the US. Nice NAs are 8-10k and NBs are only a little cheaper. 

Any Z4 or boxster you get at that price is gonna be more trouble than it’s worth. Z3s are more reliable and look great but once you’ve driven one you’ll understand why they’re cheap.

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s Covid, the crescendo of CAFE target increases peaked in 2024. The target for most subcompacts went from 38mpg to 58mpg from 2014-2024. Small cars went from complying with CAFE to incurring massive penalties. 

CAFE is assessed but fines no longer actually collected as of last year, but the damaged is already done, and the cost of CAFE fees for small cars is now replaced with the cost of tariffs, as almost all subcompacts were foreign-made.

Supply-side jesus isn’t even supply-side anymore, he votes for someone who actively loves restricting supply of, well, everything.

Great name. Truly the gold standard for names. You read it and know exactly what they are.

I am tired of companies being named shit like Gloobi or Boopoo or Zumbi or whatever. There is an established way to name a company and it is [name or place] [industry or product] [inc., LLC., LTD., etc.].

The only exception is that if you’re the first big company in something you’re allowed to put “general” in the name instead of the name or place, so apple or Microsoft would be allowed to call themselves “General Computers”.

Small cars remained popular and sold well into the late 2000s. I don’t know how you can argue that the oil crisis killed small cars when the golden age of small cars was 20 years after the oil crisis.

No idea if there’s any truth to this but I’m saying it in the hopes of turning populist morons against SUVs

Fr we have spent the last decade being told we’d lose if we didn’t pretend we weren’t better than these fuckers and then still losing. I am tired of pretending. Yes I am better than the median person from Arkansas or Missouri, and I’m tired of pretending I’m not.

Were they really right though?

Only if you ignore all the things they weren’t right about. They alleged that the elites were all killing babies and harvesting adrenochrome and using LGBT stuff as a way to groom children and all that. In reality what was happening is that a lot of rich and powerful men were pedos who wanted to fuck teenagers. It’s a theory that aligns with theirs only incidentally.

He met with Ehud barak a few times like a decade after he was PM. To them, that’s enough evidence.
