As long as they're having fun!
Anyway, is not anything deep or support meaningful, but if you're in the mood for a very good animated movie that'll hit all ages, it's great. Very funny - there was a little kid giggling her head off at Yors antics behind us, which was pretty adorable

God no, then they will start wanting lunch breaks or PPE.
It's infuriating that the last forty years of politics have been heavily determined by idiots like my parents who, to this day, still buy the Republican bullshit line that it unions the killed Detroit, not insanely greedy car makers being allowed to duck out on paying people a decent wage. Because it was definitely unions choosing to make big inefficient costly cars in the face of crippling competition from overseas efficiency vehicles, not those poor old smart not-at-all-greedy corporate shitheads refusing to change something that would hurt their profit margins.
And also not coincidentally, here were are again with inflation kicking up, gas prices going up, and US care manufacturers right back to building moron-tanks "because that's what the market wants" even though everybody I know is dying to have affordable, efficient, useful vehicles.
There's no regulation actually stopping these vehicles being made, it's car manufacturers in the US being unwilling to take even the slightest hit to their profits to pay the fees. They'll still make money on smaller-footprint vehicles, it just won't be as much ridiculous profit. And they already make a ton of great efficiency vehicles! But sell them all overseas and importing them is, coincidentally, ridiculously expensive when it isn't outright forbidden.
That's not to say the regulations in question aren't idiotic (regulations that incentivize large fucking footprints on vehicles? I can only hope all the politicians involved meet some bad ends for that) but we could have efficiency vehicles in the US right now if manufacturers weren't allowed to avoid paying the fees.
The real problem is the last few times the Big 3 actually tried, or when imports that have entered the market in that size range, that massive overwhelming pent up demand that car bloggers talk about but market researchers can't find went, "Meh," and kept buying SUVs. Even the 1st generation Tacoma that's always held up as such a paragon saw declining sales and customer satisfaction and then turned around when they made it three feet longer.
Your answer:
And the originals (especially Seven’s):
This should be a giant fucking deal, and yet I read it and feel nothing.
They want a family vehicle that has more towing capacity then the truck of the guy they hate at work.
Or alternatively, a family vehicle that is roughly identical to the one all of their buddies have.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
There has to be better regulation around personal vehicle size
Its difficult to go fully electric, as sub 40 weather conditions and outdated infrastructure and outdoor public parking etc can really mess things up unless you are in the upper quintile of wealth.
Hybrid on the other hand while less efficient than pure electric due to having to carry both batteries and an ICE and fuel tank, really has possibility, especially as the daily commute and errands vehicle where you dont need distance or tow capacity.

It would also be a complete deathtrap compared to anything on the road, missing a ton of comfort and convenience options, and the 1998 MSRP adjusted for inflation is more than a 2024 Maverick.
When automakers build the cars people claim they want (Volt / Bolt, Fiesta / Focus, Dart, TourX) they languish on the lots even with massive rebates. People want to buy crossovers, trucks, and SUVs.
Anyone who spends time around car blogs knows that when automakers build the car people claim they want they sell like seven of them.
SIA has replaced domestic production of the Impreza with the Crosstrek. By 2025, A line will phase out the Legacy and Outback (approx. 40-70% of the line on a given day) and begin Forester production. Unsure if B line follows suit.
Even companies that don't make large vehicles are still focusing on "bigger"
The Biden NLRB is actually mostly functional and attempting to do the thing it is designed to do, and that alone makes him the most pro-labor President we've ever had.
It really nails the vibe of the show, too.
The regulations weren’t idiotic and the politicians which enacted them were probably not evil.
The regulations were originally to ensure that commercial vehicles. Those used for things like hauling and moving equipment, were not impacting the emissions standards of the general fleet. A truck that actually needs to and does regularly haul 2,000 lbs of goods simply cannot meet emission standards like a passenger vehicle can and treating them the same is not good.
The problem is a little bit capture and a little bit unintended consequences. “Commercial vehicles don’t count” has to define what a commercial vehicle is and in so defining this provides the loophole.
The actual answer is to tie vehicle size to tax and regulatory structures for commercial vehicles. If you want to buy a big truck that doesn’t have the same emissions standards as the cars you get to go the truck speed limit. You’re prohibited in times you can be in certain spaces that have delivery restrictions. You’re required to have a commercial drivers license.
Re: people buy bigger cars
Yea because when you’re driving a volt next to a f-250 is fucking terrifying. People compensate by being in higher, heavier vehicles, when other people are in higher/heavier vehicles.
Sakamato Days and Undead Unluck contiune being fun (and extremely violent in the case of SD)

I'm not 100% sure what this is trying to say but Biden is most definitely digging up, not down on labour rights. Things are actively improving. His NLRB has done a ton to advance labour rights in a way we haven't seen maybe ever in the US. Certainly not for a long damn time.
NHTSA is never gonna clear a kei truck for 85 mph highways. The chicken tax is stupid but anyone driving even a new kei truck on public roads and highways is suicidal.
That's their point. The US has been so violently opposed to organized labor that even this seemed impossible a few years ago. Which yes, is pretty depressing when you think about it.
Yeah like, shit was so bad that you couldn't just walk over the bar to clear it, you could actively dig down and still not come close to being worse in many ways.
if you're trying to say that the rate of things getting worse is slowing then that's another thing, but things are getting better?
I feel like we're torturing this figure of speech
I think he means that the bar was so low you'd have to unearth it just to be sure you were stepping over it.
Biden has required all of his cabinet to attend union and labor relations training. Outside of the railroad strikes he's been very pro union.
I really need to make some sort of org chart to keep track of who's who / who _was_ who, because it looks as if the bigger picture stuff is going to start being more important in ways where it'll be extra confusing if I don't know the implications of X being Y's old teacher or whatever.
No hope of playing on a US player probably, but worked great on my external, even found subtitle files for the episodes. Even had some neat features like a cast interview and clean OPs/EDs.
sadly, it has been delayed indefinitely and has no release date right now
adult swim released an animation clip though and it looks great
