All of these marketplaces are like that now. Amazon, Target, Walmart, Wayfair, etc.

Exactly. It’s the ship, the goods, the lost earning over many years, severance for staff that won’t be used, etc. It would be mess.

I also wonder how clean up for a spill would be handled. Currently that’s managed by Iran and the vessel that spilled pays.

True. Almost all new vehicles are EVs, but 70% of the existing vehicles on the road are ICE. Super impressive, but that tank of fuel is extra painful if you’re in the countryside.

Which is why I said insurance in escrow.

Trump is famous for stiffing people. I’d want that money paid upfront and held in escrow by an independent financial firm in a neutral nation.

If a ship gets hit, escrow pays out for the oil, the ship, and the loss of future earnings. If the ships never sink, the money goes back to the US.

Yeah, losses would wouldn’t just be the cargo and the ship, it would be a decade long hit to earnings. And I’d want to see money for all of that, in escrow, before I moved an inch. Trump is famous for not paying his debts. I’d want all that money secured upfront.

Of course. The US government would have to insure it. No private company is touching that with a 10 foot pole.

If I was one of those oil companies, I’d say sure. You staff the tanker with your people and you insure us for any losses incurred. Also, put an upfront amount of insurance money in escrow.

But we’re not risking lives, merchandise, and equipment. You want the oil that badly. You move it. We’re just going to raise oil prices to cover our losses in the meantime, so we’re fine.

True.

I’m primarily talking about specific regions of the US, not the whole place. Many places in the US are famous for sprawl.

Take a city like Huston, Texas. Triple the population of Oslo, but everyone is insanely spread out, and even city centers don’t feel particularly walkable.

True, but density, public transportation, social services, and electrification are very different in much of the US. Fuel prices hit differently depending on where you live in the world.

Stephon and the Colin / Che joke swaps are similar. The cast has no idea what was written for them. The writers try to break the performer. The performer tries to hold the sketch together.

This is who you hope to get paired up with on Farmers Only

What maxing are we talking about? Starting or stopping?

That’s not all you’re spittin

I’m not super surprised. I see Ionic 5s all over the place on the west coast, but 6s are rare.

Americans gobble up crossovers.

Traffic may have been more manageable when they took the gig.

Or, maybe housing costs and limited jobs forced them into this position. I know a lot of people in my area live away from the urban center for more affordable housing, but they work in the urban center because that is where the job opportunities are.

I had no idea it was called “epic fury” until NPR mentioned it during morning edition today. I almost crashed my car laughing at that Idiocracy-ass name.

That shit sounds like an energy drink for dudes with restraining orders.

Cords are actually kind of trendy right now.

My guess is that these out of the box colors are probably fine with 3 or 4 things. But with a lot of items, you’re really forced to rely on the key.

Those pie charts are really hard to read. Those colors are too similar.
