Re: Deshaun Watson suspended for 6 games - 15 days ago

Suspended six games for accusations. All represented by the same ambulance chaser. Decision made by a female judge, Sue Robinson, but blame the Good Ol' Boys. Suspended six games for embarrassing the NFL. Much more than Robert Kraft did. Anyone surprised at that?

Re: Tesla Makes More Money Than GM and Ford….Despite Having a Fraction of the Sales - 16 days ago

QuoteBill in NC Tesla competes with BMW/MB/etc. not mass-market sellers like Ford/GM. In price and performance, but definitely not in interior or build quality. QuoteBill in NC And if you want to talk about welfare for the rich don't forget the federal tax credit for solar...that usually ends up being a lot higher than a measly $7,500. I did point that out here:

Re: Tesla Makes More Money Than GM and Ford….Despite Having a Fraction of the Sales - 18 days ago

QuoteKen Sp.Remember, just like the original $7,500, it is a TAX CREDIT, which means, if you only owe $3,000 in federal tax in the year you buy the vehicle, you only get the $3,000 in credit. It does not carry over to another year. More welfare for the rich (and kinda rich). It would be better spent on charging infrastructure for apartments. Did they take out the "union manufactured&quo

QuoteGareth QuoteForrest The SSD speed is on the 256 GB M2 MBP is slow - half the speed of the M1 MBP according to MacRumors True, but I think for the average user that is just using it for email/web/office tasks, the "slow" SSD is probably plenty fast! The "slow" SSD is still as fast/faster than what we had in 2015, and even those machines are generally still fine for ema

Re: US power companies secretly spending millions to protect profits and fight clean energy - 19 days ago

I will take an not completely thought out point of view. Buying solar at retail is welfare for the rich. Generally, only the more affluent can afford panels. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Re: Trump would only one one term - 20 days ago

Quotecbelt3 Trump continues to have to run for office to stay out of jail. And if (gods forbid) he wins a second term, his first official act will be to pardon himself and his entire crime family. And then declare martial law after a false flag attack, and declare himself emperor for life. (Really.. you think I'm joking ? ) I don't. But If you were, then I'd say you were wrong.
