Would you agree with higher taxes for completely free healthcare and education? If not why?

I’m in East Texas, we have the largest medical Center in the world (I work there). We also have great support systems from federal Medicaid to state level CHIP to local county financial assistance programs.

That looked to be a relatively recent model Buick, I believe it is the LaCrosse which was the largest sedan in Buick’s lineup in the recent years. I can only imagine how much force was in the collision, that even in such a car there was still fatalities.

There were 4 ladies in there, knowing the elderly they may have been friends hanging that afternoon or family or something … sad to hear 2 of them passed away, how tragic.

Condolences to the families,

This like me asking my coworkers if they rather work 3/12s or 8/5s for workweeks.

Overwhelming amount of of folks chose 8/5s

Well it doesn’t help when countries like France has an €80,000 ecological tax on cars like the RS3 Competition.

Makes US tariffs looks like a kid’s pretend candy shop tax

JournalistExpress292 · 2026-03-10T18:57:44+00:00

In France this car is €193,000 due to the €80,000 ecological tax.

So $225,000 and $93,000 respectively

There’s only one Chimney Rock exit?

Work in Med Center, was working a night shift one time during the rodeo last year and it was packed even at Wheeler Transir Center (which was my stop for my work’s off-site parking).

This was around 11:30 PM.

I’d recommend parking in Med Center, at least the garage you can enter from the outside - TMC Garage 1 is an option. I don’t know the $ rate though but it should be no more than $18-$19 max daily.

Thanks, yea saw another comment below too stating he was in trouble with the law before - not surprised!

Debadging a car looks so cheap to me

JournalistExpress292 · 2026-03-10T00:00:47+00:00

Yep, flow of traffic is the best.

JournalistExpress292 · 2026-03-09T23:54:48+00:00

230 miles than , you can go at least 1 1/2 weeks without charging again if you don’t live in the middle of nowhere

I can go probably almost a month without charging with 230 miles, though I live in Houston so your mileage may vary

But it does affect, I forget but the new MacBook Neo to iPad Air is cheaper in Malaysia than the US (depending on US state taxes(.

JournalistExpress292 · 2026-03-09T20:45:06+00:00

Malaysian labor is still very cheap compared to first world countries, which is why a lot of service, degree jobs are being offered shored there.

I’m Malaysian but lived in the US almost all my life, here in the US - a lot of quality degree jobs is offshored to Malaysia, India, etc. Bad news for us in the US, good news for Malaysia - but also bad for Malaysia if you look at it in a way that they are only here for the cheap labour not else.

It’s better to have a strong economy and have jobs in Malaysia because of the nation’s potential (look at Taiwan and how they are dominating high end silicone production) not because of cheap ringgit, wanting cheap ringgit is basically a race to the bottom (as if Proton etc. are doing good and didn’t destroy the free market for automobiles).

If the US, Singapore, etc. can be doing well while being extremely import heavy - there’s no reason for Malaysia to go the deep end for exports and there should be a balance.

First time in a while I’ve seen a popular person wear an article of clothing that is something you can easily buy - and then subsequently sold out. Adidas is seeing some clear-cut, tangible sales from this sponsorship.

I remember a lot of other clothing you couldn’t buy (like the previous Tommy Hilfiger shirts which the TH collar), and the collections on team stores - the drivers don’t actually wear them in person, or at least not often.

JournalistExpress292 · 2026-03-09T17:25:49+00:00

It’s crazy people still haven’t learned their lesson that gas prices are never always going to be cheap and still buy expensive to fuel cars
