Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer
The government divides people by race, labels them by race, and treats them differently because of their labelled race.
And imposes penalties on anyone else if they do that.

Re: Screw General Motors (and any other automaker engaging in this practice)
So, if I cancel my OnStar service, will they still be able to track me because the device is still in my vehicle? They absolutely can if the vehicle is less than ~10 years old. If it's an older vehicle (<2015 or so) they probably can't as those systems can no longer connect to the cell network. But...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapses
Thanks for the anchor info. Makes sense. Question : when Biden promises the bridge will be rebuilt with federal money, I assume our effective federal govt firstly, or subsequently , will go after the shipping company who I assume would have insurance to cover the costs. Don’t stick the federal taxp...

Not "normal" but probably just the beginning of a trend.

Re: Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems
For about a week or so I was having that kind of problem with Channel 2 a couple months ago. Not sure if they were on an AUX or just running low power, but nothing had changed on my end and the problem went away.

That people would spend more than about $50 on one of these shows is why these guys get a disproportionate sense of self-worth.

Re: Boeing Max jets are unsafe flying shit boxes...
No doubt negligence is a factor with Boeing and just about any other manufacturers of anything. But there just seem to be too many incidents in a short period of time to be statistically possible. Like a 100 year event, like a six sigma event almost every day. Sabotage and terrorism need to be inve...

Re: Another leaving WXYZ
Brian Abel leaving in May, next stop not yet announced. Memo went out to staff. Abel aside, its another example of how salaries have dropped so much, stations can’t keep talent for more than a few cycles. A 5/10pm anchor in this market used to make around 175-250K. You didnt need to “leave” to Chic...
