Comment Dispicable (Score 3, Interesting) 53

Wait, so a company that is making a gross profit is saying it can't stay in business? A profit being down 12% is still a profit that is 88% of the previous profit. It looks like a mix between wanting to refinance its loans (fine) and rip off the company's retirees (outrageous).

We also need fewer misleading headlines. A more appropriate headline might read, "Modified Chevy Silverado EV drives 1059.2 miles on one charge" That way we know from the start that it's an experimental vehicle and after further reading we then learn that it was at 25MPH. But I guess that doesn't generate clickbait.

Comment Re: Sony makes phones? (Score 1) 26

I tried one out. It's a great phone and largely runs stock Android. The camera on one model, the one I owned, is exceptional. It didn'tdo image manipulation. You got what you photographed. It sported a headphone jack. The display was 4k resolution, which is, believe it or not, was visibly better that UHD. It was so clear, it looked like I was holding a window in my hand. The issue I had was the update window was limited. Putting on a new Android version would have been doable except some of the drivers and software weren't easily transferable becausethe phone isn't common. The camera was distinct enough that 3rd party phone software didn't support all of the features the built-in software did. The best description I ever read about it was that it was a pro-level camera with a cell phone strapped onto it.

A friend's son was in the building where Cruz opened fire. Prior to the shooting, teachers were preaching the whole thing about everyone being ok and you should be friends with everyone. Before Cruz left school, other students would joke that if somebody was going to commit a school shooting, it would be him. It turns out they were right and they had judged him for who he was, even if they didn't react to that judgement. After the shooting, kids dropped the whole, "Everyone's ok" mentality they were taught and started judging people by their behavior.

I used to be the weird kid who had no friends, so I know what it's like to be left out of things. I'm not the weird guy anymore. I started listening to the criticisms people had of me. He should have been listening to his peers, as they would have -- especially through light teasing -- been pointing him in the right direction, that is towards sanity. Also, the biggest thing I learned is there's a big difference between teasing and bullying. That difference is intent. Teasing is intended to point you in the right direction. Bullying is intended to hurt you.

Ok, let me clarify this. You're looking at specific companies. I'm looking at the whole picture. For example, Apple moved all of its production from the US to China. India introduced tariffs on China, and as a result Apple moved their production for the India market to India. Now Apple is moving their production of US iPhones to India to dodge tariffs on Chinese goods. That sounds a lot like moving a billion dollar factory to another country in a matter of a few years. Regarding Japanese companies, as I stated a few replies up, Honda makes most of the CRV in the US. In addition, BMW produces most of their X series for the entire globe in Greenville, SC. VW has a factory in Kentucky. Those are Japanese and German companies manufacturing their cars in the US. Also, I really don't understand why you're not defending and supporting American workers.
