this is just "white people have more empathy for dogs than people of color" manifesting itself in politics

or something else that they've successfully buried.

But it could also simply be Newey autocratically shifting blame away from himself since he's made many of the design decisions that contributed, and as team principal he only has to report to Stroll, who probs doesn't oppose severe Honda blame

i feel like intentionally releasing the quote about "permanent nerve damage" was pretty unnecessary and is a ploy to shift the headlines away from other narratives around the team. Maybe it's b/c they might be at serious risk of breaching the Concord Agreement after the "do 5 laps then retire" rumor

I think it'll end up looking far less awks than the E07 since it doesn't need to hide its bed for regulatory convenience in China.

Maybe they have the same amount of doubt as they did with the Maverick but they're pushing through bc of its success.

This is also at least the second design concept

throwing $43k+ at an owner actively tied up in bankruptcy and thinking it'll do anything

meanwhile everyone's stuff is still stuck inside

it's not even like it's hard to distribute the money to the residents when *they already have a tenant union*

stupid follow up skeet: "Guys: apparently you can call Mexicans and Canadians "Americans" and everyone will know you mean "someone from North America, but not specifically the United States of America." I'm glad I got such a clear, helpful education! "

stupid follow up skeet: "Guys: apparently you can call Mexicans and Canadians "Americans" and everyone will know you mean "someone from North America, but not specifically the United States of America." I'm glad I got such a clear, helpful education! "

that is, in fact, how countries in continents work!

i'd hope a *communications professor* and former(?) military analyst who wrote a book about the US's invasion of Afghanistan (who traveled there apparently) would know that!

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
