Owned a V12XJ.
A beauty of an engine. Nice connelly leather interior, Handled like a sip of water. Acceleration Very, very nice.
Also fuel consumption of a battleship, jack the thing up if you want to change sparkies, nothing built to where you would expect it. A fucker to maintain.

John Kander just wrote for a movie, eh?
This is NOT NEARLY adequately covered.
And if you think "well, thats the freaky US" think again how you message, your news sources, etc.
Europe and the UK need to watch out for this.
(and looking at Hungary, weΒ΄ve already lost).
An reply and discussion here would require the use of a couple of bottles of decent red and a quart of brandy...

Maybe more in the R.W Emerson "critical acclaim of your loved ones" sense?
IsnΒ΄t there something we could "hate" in our loves, that, if surfacing, could turn us away from them but we do try to subdue the thought?
So basically Trump can post that heβs sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. Thatβs where weβre at.

Less bluffed but silently "looking up" to authoritarian leaders.
If Crimea and Donbas go to Russia, who should debate Kuba, Venezuela etc going to the US?
A 3 block world in the making...
The key problem could be that Trump is systematically starving Ukraine from needed supplies. Air defense supplies leave about 70% of infrastructure unprotected, heavy tanks are delivered just after Russia could build tank defense... He wishes to gift Russia with Crimea and Donbas.

and this is why business education is still important.
Not to maximize, but to establish a new, sound and safe equilibrium.
"Understanding the bigger picture" also needs this meaning.

Going back to the disruptive technologies of the 15th century?
Not a bad idea...
