It’s a good thought. They’re about 3 years into a 10 year plan. EHV components are a pain in the rear to produce. The units are heavier and way larger than a traditional alternator assembly. They’re also about 10x the cost to Ford, for example. Just because people at the top of the hierarchy think it’s a great idea... does not make it a great idea. I don’t think they have the details right on the tech. Stalling until the engineers get it right might be part of how they get around the system.
I work in logistics. Back in late September, we started to hear rumors of a drivers strike, which never materialized. Unless... this is it. Ford, GM and Chrysler/Stellantis are hurting over this already. If you get more easterly crossings blocked like those in Western NY, you’ll see Toyota Canada slow down as well. US production will have to be scaled back because nobody can crossdock that much build-ahead. Most of the time just a few days without a truck picking up a regular route will have a supplier’s dock jam packed so bad you can barely move a fork around a pallet. These truckers don’t have to hold out forever. Just a few weeks will have logistical consequences for a long time. This is a nicely planned even, in my opinion. They are squeezing just enough, and they’re only using one hand.

I did a dig on Blackstone a few years ago when they bought the company I worked for at the time. Super sketchy. They are very tied into health care providers, ER doctors and hospitalists. In addition, I seem to recall that they were connected to Mandalay Bay at the time of the Vegas event.
How about horns, like those that brought down Jericho?
Wonder what’s coming? Seems like insiders are expectant.
There’s always a queen.
James Lindsey posted on his twitter about something happening this weekend too.
I was a loyal customer for over 20 years. For awhile, I watched the tantrums and laughed over his responses - like free Mexican vanilla over the immigration thing. I finally got tired of it. The spice house sells a version of the one thing I absolutely loved. I can get most everything else cheaper elsewhere anyway.
I have the suspicion that Blackstone is dirtier than Blackrock.
Can she file a religious exemption request? Then she has an EEOC claim if it’s denied. Better legal standing.
I seem to recall speculation that he was kin to RasPutin?
No disrespect coming from me. Maternal side came from Canada in the 40’s. I still have quite a bit of family up there but sadly they are pro-Trudeau sheeple. I’ll probably never see my aunt and uncle again, which saddens me greatly. They were the first awake people I knew, even when I didn’t know it. Sadly, their children have all but shunned me for my outspoken politics. I just wish we had a better idea of how many of you are based. It seems like there aren’t many at all.
This has me wondering.... I could see where all the vax Fuckery could eventually make the vaccinated unfit to donate or receive organs. What then?
This reminds me.. my dogs all got kennel cough from a rescue dog that came to visit. I happened to remember it was time for their ivermectin dose. Cough (it’s very distinctive) gone in less than 48 hours.
Drug overdoses and suicide rates have increased.
Full house. Hmm. When do we see the Royal Flush? Soon, I hope.
Correct. The chair is empty.
Omar is a good man. I don’t know him personally but we have a mutual friend. He’s the real deal.
Weird. I’m not even sure where to take that one.
On a side note, there’s very little information about Ms Powell’s family and early life. I’m an amateur genealogist so when I find someone intriguing, I like to check out their bloodlines. I’m stumped on Ms Powell. Can’t figure out who her people are.
A Year and A Day. Hmmmm. Sounds familiar.
There’s a high turnover in factory/warehouse type jobs. Temps from staffing services make up a large percentage of the workforce. People come to work a few days a week and it’s tolerated. When they eventually stop showing up, the temp service sends them to a new place. Fridays and weekend work are scarcely attended. Friday is payday flu day. Monday you get a skeleton crew as well. The other days, they barely do a half days work in a whole day. In the meantime, as others have said, they expect more work from the seasoned or hard working employees. Vacation and time off is limited. They’re tired and looking for a new job. Go up to my first sentence and substitute every other industry out there.
Bottom line, as long as it’s working, it will continue to happen. Everyone here should be working on getting out of debt. It’s the only thing that gives flexibility and resilience and the ability to opt out of the bullshit.
Sounds like you got the better deal anyway. I grew up shopping at Wegman’s. It’s one of the few things I miss about New York.
Off the top of my head, Ontario has minimum 4 bridges to the US.
