Wendy’s has been going downhill ever since Dave died.


It kind of looks like a stretched Chrysler 300.


“Ford CEO Jim Farley told an analysts’ conference in New York that last fall’s contentious strike changed Ford’s relationship with the union to the point where the automaker will “think carefully” about where it builds future vehicles.” Yes, and your potential customers can think carefully about which vehicles they buy. A simple web search will tell you where vehicles are being made and whether it’s built with union labor.
The same Stanley. They still sell those giant green thermoses our fathers and grandfathers used to take half a gallon of stale coffee to the coal mine or steel mill.


Great data thanks for sharing. I had to reference stats like this during a recent argument with family about taxes. The conservatives have done a great job convincing people that states like Texas and Florida are some sort of taxless wonderlands. We live in Pennsylvania, when I showed them that the Pennsylvania tax burden was lower than Texas in most metrics they shut up real fast. As we enter this election cycle, we all need to be backing our arguments with data like this. While they might not acknowledge they are wrong, it MIGHT get them thinking.

This would be a pretty large project. Wouldn’t the greenhouse gases emitted from the construction equipment and ships add to the problem?


The bloom was off the rose pretty early with people that know about cars. I remember seeing a video of an engineering team disassembling one a few years after they launched and finding all sorts of crazy assembly problems that you’d think would have been worked out by then. I’m talking about bad welds, some not in the correct place, and random bolts rattling around in door panels, that kind of stuff. I give them credit for capturing the collective imagination on what an electric car could be and championing them as cool. But they still have a lot of work to do to catch up in the quality and reliability realm compared to established car companies. The fact that they have significantly less moving parts yet still haven’t been shown to be more reliable than a lot of ICE vehicles says something.


Ohio continuing its slow march onto the list of places I won’t travel to anymore. I’ve stopped voluntarily traveling (and spending money in) states I find politically abhorrent, and it feels great. Texas made the list last year, and Florida this year. Cancelled our FL vacation and decided to go to California instead.


Can you name the race they were being racist towards?


I was thinking the same thing. Both of them have a loud bark, but if stood up to by a strong adversary (I’m thinking a coalition of strong powers, or a USA that is willing to go toe to toe and not through smaller proxies like Ukraine or the Philippines) they would most likely back down. Sure, they would play the victim and continue to bark, but would know where the line is. Right now they both are testing limits.


I picked up a refurbished Xerox b&w laser printer 5 years ago. It never gives me problems, and the toner lasts forever. One of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made.


Imagine being so insufferable you literally go around ridiculing how strangers communicate.


This happens a lot in nursing. Administrators guilt nursing staff into longer shifts and poor nurse to patient ratios instead of fixing the underlying problems. Then when nurses leave the job or refuse to take on extra time, management blames those who are standing up for themselves for the shortage, high ratios, and dumping on existing staff. Also, depending on your jurisdiction a nurse who leaves without a replacement can be charged with abandonment.


Hi, RN here…I know you didn’t ask for advice, but your post seemed like an opportunity to drop a tip for anyone with this or similar issue. If you’re having trouble paying for preventive care, especially vaccinations, reach out to your county or state department of health. They often run clinics where they will give vaccinations for no cost. It’s in the public’s best interest to have high vaccination rates, so they are often more than happy to hook you up.


Another great example of how we all benefit from strong unions and what they fight for.


An Apple TV box doesn’t have ads.


I assume they could when they control the legislature, and Shapiro or another dem is governor. It will need to be codified into law because the courts are calling it a tax. I like seeing PA making attempts even when it gets blocked. PA has such easy and cheap access to its own gas and coal, it might be one of the toughest states to get to transition to renewables. They have so much gas especially in Western PA…It’s not like trying to get an addict it stop using, it’s like asking the drug cartel to stop selling.
Does anyone else have a feeling he won’t be able to come up with this amount either?
