Did you miss that its parent corp got bought by a technonepobro and the new person in charge of cbs news is a right wing activist?

The fuck is a strong floor. I thought it was supposed to be a high floor. It strong? When was the possibility of the floor caving in part of the metaphor ?

Leaving aside the apple stunt, PP often rails against many of the members of the media and complains constantly. Why is he even invited?

Taking trickle down economic too seriously are we

The thing about a strong floor is that it rules out a lot of exploitation that benefits rich people.

It's not discontinued, just not for sale on this continent. I think the newer generation ones are hybrid or ev. We love ours too and see them around our neighborhood a lot, but apparently they were selling poorly in NA so Honda felt it wasn't worth it to keep sending them.

Why would Smith stop? Carney seems happy to give her whatever she wants because he thinks the rest of the country is a joke.

They've transitioned hard to "we might not get another term so better make our donors happy now" mode this term. Multiple initiatives going on simultaneously that seem like smash and grabs.

Would accept a light truck code of conduct where owners have to provide free moving services as an alternative to the light truck tax.

Municipalities usually have bylaws thst require licenses to operate heavy vehicles and can set the threshold for what qualified as heavy. Would be fun to see someone set a threshold low enough to catch the larger suvs and everything heavier and implement a shadow suv tax.

It's a form of conspicuous consumption like people who spend 3k on a MacBook pro but only use it for checking email, watching video, and using basic office applications and never use it for any of its advanced functions. A lot more destructive though.

Even if you do occasionally need to move stuff that cant fit in a sedan, it's almost certainly cheaper to rent a truck a couple of times a year and drive a smaller car then it is to drive a guzzler the 99.9% of the time it isnt hauling large objects.

So, if you spend 1$ of Skills Development Funds on something you can argue is training related, you can build whatever you want and most municipalities can't even ask you to demonstrate servicing capacity. Also no process to figure out who qualifies for this nonsense.
