Republicans are given one free-pass after another, while Democrats are held to impossibly-high standards.

I'm fairly congested too... enough talk. Let's just do it.
It isn't a problem with screen technology or processing technology or anything like that. We aren't going to "tech" our way out of this.
It is a biological problem and as such, I think the appeal of VR will always be rather niche.
Even the best selling VR headset that I found online was the Quest 2 and it "only" sold like 15M units (honestly way more than I ever expected) with everything else being considerably lower volume. Compare that to the number of Nintendo Switches sold (130M) and you start to see how small the VR market is. I am very curious to see how the Sony VR2 will end up selling. I would love to get a pair, but I think all these headsets will be short lived.
Walk down the aisle of most union manufacturing facilities in the US, and you will see Trump sticker after Trump sticker after Trump sticker on people's toolboxes. In a Union shop. This would have been unheard of a generation ago. Their Union representatives talk the big talk about supporting Democrats, but the rank-and-file union members go team Traitor. So pardon me while I have little support for all the union discussions in recent years because ultimately Democrats are fighting the good fight only to end up helping people who will vote these same Democrats out of office. And then don't even get me started on Police unions. The clowns in here and claim all they want that police unions aRe DiFfErEnT, but in the end, they really aren't. Police unions serve the same purpose that regular unions do, and that is defend the rank-and-file at all costs and that means keeping the bad apples from being fired.
We'll see. I like that the Ford Maverick has become as big of a hit as it has because that means more companies will eventually release competitors. I'm hoping for a modern El Camino. I really think that if GM had released an El Camino on the RWD Alpha platform, it could have saved the Camaro since it also rides on that platform.
"Most" is not all.
Plus each person has their own perspective on an event, even if it is just their singular isolated life.
their local economies are just as reliant on government spending as anyone else.
Do you actually think they understand that? I know ex-military who get a monthly pension who can't stop bad-mouthing the big bad gob'ment. Or ones who work for government contractors - literally their job is directly dependent on government money - and they are always complaining on how much money the gob'ment wastes on "useless" programs.
What kills me is that Democrats typically let people like these slide by lessening the hurt that they would otherwise feel if something happened to that gob'ment they hate so much. If I am not mistaken, last time, Dems were quick to propose that military members continued to get paid even when the government was shut down. All that does is soften the blow. It actually makes it easier for Republicans to force a shut down because they won't be harassed as much by their military members since they will still get paid. If you're not feeling the pain from a shut down, then you are more likely to support it.
Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.
This fucken clown.
You are right, they are further apart in price than I realize. I always thought the Supra followed it's BMW-heritage and cost more. I thought it started at 60, but the I6 could be had for $54k and up. I'd never even consider an i4 with that car.
Still, the Corvette starts at only $66k. Neither of these cars are going to be sold at a discount and I'm sure both Chevy and Toyota dealers are trying to add on mark-ups, but you don't have to get crazy with options on the Vette and spend nearly 6-figures. Still, if I was dropping between $55 and $60k on a sports car, I rather get a used C8 (or even a C7) than a new Supra.
