Same with all my extended family except maybe 2 people who will use the “both sides” BS to not vote. It’s very depressing.

Typical MS gaslighting and manipulation to subvert meaningful regulation.

Besides the obvious implications… Hawaii would definitely be more expensive than Thailand unless they picked some 5 star hotel in a remote area. Even then it would probably be close. Hawaii is atrociously expensive.

It's entertaining to me that our brand of monopolistic / oligarchic capitalism itself disincentivizes one-time costs that are greatly outweighed by the risk of future occurrences. Even when those one-time costs would result in greater stability and lower prices...and not even on that big of a time horizon. There is an army of developers that would be so motivated to work on a migration project like this. But then I guess execs couldn't jet set around the world to hang out at the Crowdstrike F1 hospitality tent every weekend.

Agreed! This is a region wide (and capitalism) problem, but I think Taiwan’s degree of progressive attitudes in select areas position it as the most likely to shift its policies compared to Japan, Korea, and China.

Unless of course Korea’s strikes start to spread (unlikely considering the extreme scab mindset inherent in Korean culture).

Newgarden passing about 6 cars on the start was incredible. And he didn’t jump the start.

Yeah I was surprised how interesting it was to watch the hybrid cycling in qual

Grosjean …what a save 😰

Well that was intriguing. Herta was about to pull his P1 and P3 starting positions to go again. At the last second they opted to pull him back.

Hybrid is adding another layer of intrigue! 3 unique issues and counting. Herta is offered a redo due to some sort of technical issue.

The chatter this past week was that the hybrid would not play much of a role, but maybe everyone had it wrong. The supercapacitor architecture might be more appropriate for a shorter oval (vs. road course) like this where charging and discharge can happen very quickly and consistently.

Hope Jack feels better soon
