  • Yes! Yes they should. I’m not sure they can be. Not with so many companies out there.

    I work for a company in a location in a modest sized upper Midwest town. It is a decidedly white area. Yet, even with rather easy hiring requirements, the store is whiter than the area by a considerable margin. The GM sees fit to refuse staffing certain departments with women. At all. He’s openly used the n-word on the sales floor. He was called to the mat for that, and even with a history of bigoted activities and remarks, still has a job.

    This is only an example. So yes, they should. But they don’t.


  • I don’t know, I mean an uproar over someone doing something responsible in getting rid of a pet is pretty stupid. You can say all you want, “oh no it ate something boo hoo” but that could have been the wake up call showing them they were not able to or willing to dedicate the time to properly care for the dog.

    Maybe the passports were the latest thing and they realized it was their fault they were eaten, cue the soul searching and decision to put it up for adoption.

    Seems a lot better and far less controversial then shooting it.











  • As Kongar said, I agree, the new car is an suv. Which… Is by and large not great, but also what’s an SUV now?

    When I was a kid by parents had one of the original Nissan Pathfinders. The one with the spare wheel that swung away, definitely 4wd, and so forth. OJ Simpson ran from the cops in a white Bronco.

    Those were SUVs. Today’s monster Expeditions and Suburbans are SUVs.

    At introduction, the Subaru Outback was a station wagon. Now… It’s an SUV? I have a 2022. No, it’s not small, but I have a kid and we use the trunk space and the awd all the time. Winter sucks here, and there are dirt roads. But to me it’s a car. But on paper it’s an SUV.

    I am sure there’s a real distinction, but… Next to a Tahoe or a Grand Cherokee it is absulotely not an SUV. It’s a car with awd and a beefy-ish suspension.
