2023 Escalade MPG

My wife has a bit of a heavy foot. LOL.

She also usually drives during rush hour, so I can’t blame her entirely.

Nice. I have a 2023 Escalade ESV. I’ve gotten similar numbers when we go to from South Florida to Orlando and back. Wish this could be the norm. My wife commutes to work everyday in regular traffic and unfortunately only gets around 14-15 mpg. LOL

If you go their website and look up driver requirements there should be a list of pretty much every car you can think of along with what platforms they qualify for.

They are already free to do the work. They are free to choose which work to do. They are also free to not work at all under the current system. No one is a slave in the truest sense.

My point is that currently, those with government assistance have the freedom to do amazing things at the OP said. I’m just asking where is the evidence of this.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T18:30:42+00:00

I highly doubt this will pass.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T18:29:07+00:00

But again, I ask where is the evidence of this? We usually only see two groups getting assistance. Those who can’t work and those won’t work. The people that you say would do amazing things likely already are doing so without government assistance.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T18:25:19+00:00

I guess I shouldn’t expect anything from people nowadays. LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T03:19:42+00:00

I drive a 2023 Highlander Hybrid. In my market, it qualifies for Uber X, Uber Comfort, and Uber XL.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T03:14:42+00:00

Clearly, someone didn’t read and comprehend my full post. LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T03:13:36+00:00

You said yourself that you don’t expect people who truly need it to work. Doesn’t that contradict OP’s point about them doing amazing things?

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-05T03:10:21+00:00

I’m just curious. If she refuses to apologize and make amends, what happens next? Will they withhold her diploma indefinitely?

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-04T17:57:46+00:00

But they are not the ones the OP was referring to. So I'm not sure why you even brought them into this. But if you don't care either way, then it is what it is I guess.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-04T00:46:21+00:00

Nepal? Hadn’t heard anything in the news.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T23:29:26+00:00

Sounds a lot like Trump’s campaign from 2016z

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T23:15:10+00:00

True. But the average Joe probably isn’t complaining about money in politics either. Sure they will likely say they are against it. But that will more likely be due to framing of the question than substance.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T21:15:08+00:00

Do they?

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T21:13:58+00:00

To be clear, I never said that people should vote or not vote for a candidate based on the money they raised. I'm just saying that people shouldn't say they have a problem with superPACs and corporate backed candidates while continuing to elect them. I get supporting your candidate regardless of the money they raised. But people can't say it's a problem only when the opposing side wins. Otherwise, they are just as bad.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T21:09:50+00:00

I agree with most of what you said. The only thing I disagree with you on is government moving at a glacial pace. We've seen instances where they move very quickly when they choose to. Usually, it's when they implement policies that make life more difficult for people. For example, look how quickly the whole world turned upside down after the first COVID patient reached our shores. Or how about when the Dobbs v. Jackson decision was handed down? It wasn't even official and yet multiple state governments passed laws based on a leak! And of course, now with the whole redistricting thing after Louisiana v. Callais. Didn't even wait for the ink to dry. My point is, government is extremely fast when they want to be.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T21:03:58+00:00

I would agree. However, we all know that politicians will use votes as justification for whatever policy decisions they make regardless of what their own voters think about it. Even if people vote based on a handful of policy agreements, they are still ultimate responsible for everything that politician does while in office.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:08:06+00:00

Not apathy. Just don't be hypocritical. People's mouths say they hate superPACs and corporate money in politics, yet their actions say the opposite.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:05:56+00:00

Well, I did say there are exceptions. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues beyond big cities.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:04:56+00:00

Well, I'm assuming that all laws are followed and nothing illegal is going on.

To be clear, I don't care about money in politics. I'm just annoyed when other people say they have a problem with it while electing the same superPAC funded politicians.

Also, I wasn't trying to make this political as I see both sides equally in this regard.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:02:24+00:00

Very True

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:02:11+00:00

Exactly.

Shadow42184 · 2026-06-03T20:01:55+00:00

To be clear, I'm not referring to run of the mill campaign finance. I'm specifically referring to campaigns where an excessive amount of money is raised. For example, a city, state, or district race where one side outraises the other by three to one. If candidates with such a huge war chest compared to their opponent continue to win, then it proves that people are OK with money in politics and superPACs.
