The south had “carpetbaggers” because they were traitors. The federal government sent bureaucrats they could trust to run the government in the south.

If you saw last weeks comments you would think it was a homeless, drug crazed, criminal. One of the tops comments stated, with authority, it was someone homeless. And how the cops were not going to do anything about it.

Watch how fast this falls out of the news cycle because it doesn’t align with America’s view of San Francisco. So far I’ve heard it was: a homeless person, a junkie, mentally ill, violent criminal common to San Francisco. Part of me felt th

BEVs almost never need new brakes. Regenerative braking means you rarely use the brake. There are only two times the actual physical brakes are applied: high speed deceleration and parking. And if you're doing the former that frequentl

You want to tell that to the Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Autozones of the world? That their business model in a few years is going to be rotating/changing tires and topping off wiper fluids? ICE cars (including modern ones) require

The vast majority of the world don’t need a car at all. My problem isn’t with the the transition vehicles like PHEV. It’s the fact that Toyota doesn’t seem to have any strategy at all. None of the Japanese car mfgs have a ZEV strategy and 2

I think the practical rule is if you don't want to get stabbed don't go to areas where stabbings happen. And generally, this tends to be true almost everywhere in the world. The fact that this happens in an area not particular hig

You're going to need to be specific because there is probably no less than 2 dozen 3-letter agencies who would want this level of access.

The government made a contract and now they want to change the terms. "You pay into this fund now and we'll pay you back at 55....60....62....." What you don't do is change the terms without consulting with the constitue

I think you have Blackrock confused with Blackstone. A slightly different hedge fund that is heavily invested in REIT. This is quite a common occurrence and even I get them confused.

It took longer than I thought. Amazon bought TBD over a decade ago. I figured they would have snuffed them out years ago. It was a sad day when they got bought by Amazon. Good luck to the team.

My city did exactly that. They created scooter pens from public parking. Cars and delivery trucks would park in them regardless. The scooter parking signs and stickers disappeared. And scooter riders just parked in and around those occupied

I can't remember the blog but I read somewhere (IIRC) a e-scooter needs about 45 days to break even. So if 1 scooter can survive 2 months on the street it's a net profit. Also, these things are ubiquitous enough that there is no d

103000 votes out of 1.38MM voters. Less than 7% of registered voters even bothered. So we can say 6% were firmly against. <1% were supportive of e-scooters. 93% didn't care either way but were more than likely against. I am pro micr

No. Most systems in a ICE car are designed to be run off the belt of an idling engine. An electric car is only running when you put your foot on the accelerator. So cooling, climatisation, power steering, braking assistance will all need an

Is that for a debit card? I understand the liability in draining a checking account with nothing more than a 4-digit PIN. On the other hand, I would never bank at a place that made withdrawal restrictions a condition to access my money.

If you mean dentists, lawyers, and doctors. Yeah, they were giving too many prime borrowers with great credit scores way more debt than they could sufficiently manage.

Mostly driver convenience. I drive a mid-tier VW with infotainment, power seats, satellite navigation, etc. If I don't drive the car after a few days it takes a few minutes for the car to fully boot up. No radio, GPS, climate control g

I can partially explain this since I've had to do this in the past. You have to program the BMS for the specific chemistry and capacity of the battery you install. It's not a reset. 99% of the time you don't even need to repr

I've never needed to but Venmo definitely reverses transactions. But you have to declare it as a business transaction. A lot of businesses don't want to do that because they have to pay a fee. I pay my barber through Venmo and alw

You can imagine you’ve worked your whole life chasing the brass ring. And then the government goes, “lol, just kidding!”, and moves the goal posts 50 meters. And this affects millions of people who are very pissed off and vocal about it.

I was going to say neoliberal. But then I have to remember self-confessed neoliberals pushing for war in Iraq and basically giving a blank check to the military industrial complex. And needlessly expanding government on the war on terror. S
