Oh yeah. You're screwed. Maybe see if you can appoint a proxy? Otherwise it might be worth sending your vote via UPS/Fedex. (Use Parcel Monkey so you don't end up paying out of the wazoo).

Global economy must stop pandering to ‘frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert Olivier De Schutter says new economic agenda needed to tackle crises of rising inequality and ecological collapse

“Scarce resources we have should be used for basic needs of people in poverty and to create what is of societal value rather than serve frivolous desires of ultra-rich ...consider universal basic income, job guarantees, debt cancellation, extreme wealth tax” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Waiting for a world where AI publications are consumed by AI readers. AI creators tout high readership numbers. Shareholders and finance bros interpret the AI sector news conversion reporting as gospel.
Meanwhile back at the meat ranch, the rest of us live a different existence.

*sigh*

Whereas Skoda, SEAT and the two German brands are making things people actually want to buy in Europe and elsewhere

I completely understand. If you want to go in person to your local polling place go early if you can, don't run down the clock on the day.

Compare with what VAG are doing in Europe (not here, here is a shit show) and even the more conservative Benz are doing better (although their build quality is suffering).

There's an honesty to them.

Honestly I like slightly ugly but savagely effective cars.

And during, naturally.

Exactly. It all started going wrong after Bangle.

I've long been unhappy with the Ms. Honestly again they were about being done driving machines, not just brute power. The last real M was the E60/61. Savagely powerful but with the handling and civility to match.

Vote early in November folks.

This takes us back to the elegance and lightness of the 70s 2002s, 5ers and original 6ers.

I can't get over the current styling direction. I have hopes for the Neue Klasse sedans but everything else is minging.

Good lord.

I think you could have stopped after "read".

Unless Eisenhower was a Marxist.

We're going to miss Crenshaw. This is not a sentence I ever thought I'd write.

The folklore is he literally stood up against a rich local holder of capital who was extracting wealth from social inferiors for his own benefit and that benefit of a corrupt ruling class. Just because it was set in feudal England doesn't mean it can't be translated, and nothing about it was Marxist

A friend of a friend in AZ, living in a trailer, pharmaceutical enthusiast, lunched on Coors lights and took the food to go, decided to go full MAGA during the first trump admin. Baffled all of us as he was accessing as much federal and state help as was possible to get himself back in track.

I haven't seen this level of fellating the Dear Leader since looking into North Korean media. Or Calle Pistorius's tenure at the University of Hull.

This is the definition of "slap". Must've put the ole Kryolan on with a trowel.

Glass houses...

Culturally this is all very different for me, certainly from my dismal memories of school in the UK there was precious little pageantry. We don't get a graduation from high school, just results day.

Alabama isn't like anywhere else

Where I'm from the MPs are harder to get into because you arrive as a corporal because you can't have private soldiers arresting each other. I gather it's very different here.

Good Lord.

Exactly. And not pay 12.99 a month for the privilege.
