Not really, no. Not like this. Just since the talibangelicals have seized control. Yeah, there absolutely have been problems before, but they corrected back to the middle. Not this time.
The problem with them is that it’s up to the owner of the facility to make sure they are removed and cleaned in a timely manner, not simply re-rolled dirty towel, and the machine was in good repair and didn’t jam.
Quite often that wasn’t the case, so you’d wind up with dirty towel recycling or stuck.
Yes, this absolutely contributed to the spread of disease. No way it couldn’t. I had a family member in the medical field and said that the reason we didn’t see them anymore much past the ‘80s is because they were unhygienic thanks to the aforementioned issues.
So it’s not really the fault of the towel, it’s the fact that people are cheap bastards and don’t keep things serviced, clean, and maintained. It’s better to grumble and shake your hands dry rather than continue to use a jammed, soiled towel machine.
Information or decision paralysis is also an ADHD trait. Also the inferred inability to self-motivate or get better jobs, and of course like you said, the re-reading with inability to get things to stick.
Yeah, it may not be ADHD, but OP’s symptoms rhyme with it. And they definitely don’t get better with age, you just get better at masking some of them.
Gotta be it. The Walton family have been pro-Republican anti-labor forever. Makes you wonder how many undocumented people WalMart has working for them in stores and warehouses, plus are employed in working with all the cheap produce and dairy they sell.
they're more stupid than I could've ever fathomed.
Seeing as we elected trump (or at least ~30% of us did, while a significant chunk sat back and let it happen) I think the stupidity is a foregone conclusion. Now they’re doubling and tripling down on it.
I’m basing this on your comparison of normal cars to currently existing exotics.
Predominantly: The vast majority of people don’t want an exotic car. They want to go from home to work and the store, maybe a drive for a leisure trip. They’re boring. They want to get their stuff and people in and out of the car easily and conveniently.
Exotics do not do convenience well. There’s minimal trunk space, there’s space for only two people, often “snugly.” They require some contortions to get into and out of. Think of how out of shape many people are and see if they fit into a highly contoured, reclined, and snug race seat and can crawl in behind a scissor- or butterfly-style door with a very low roof.
Engineering-wise exotics are expensive, both for the manufacturer and customer. Those compact, low, aerodynamic bodies on exotic cars take a lot of work to pack all the mechanicals in along with having to design a body that is crash-worthy for each new style. On top of that, they’re often mid-engine, which means a lot of specialty parts like transaxles, and wildly different handling characteristics than the average consumer is used to when you shift weight to the back of the vehicle.
Manufacturers stick with the “boring” designs because they’re based on existing engineering that is safe, requires minimal cost to make the new iteration, aerodynamic, fuel efficient, and has proven to be sellable to consumers. Profit is king. They’re not going to take chances on crazy styles that may not sell because again, people are boring.
I know people are going to chime in about mundane cars in production today that have some of the features I mentioned and treat them as an exception that invalidates the opinions I’ve offered, but the point is that if they were economical and profitable designs in an exotic body they would be more widespread. “You could just take “x” engine and transmission and build a “y” around it” argument.
I would suggest maintenance is a potential cost problem, too…some exotics literally require the car be split - the entire rear of the car containing the engine and transaxle removed from the rest of the car for access because of the compact engineering and inaccessibility to some wear parts. However if Toyota made a low-buck supercar looking commuter car I’d hope the maintenance would be cheaper and easier.
So there you have it. Cost of design, engineering, and maintenance. Boring consumers, convenience, and safety. Affordability and profit. That’s why we don’t have exotics everywhere. The market has determined that the few Halo cars we see like the Supra or C8 Corvette, or even the Mustang, is all the market will bear.
Wouldn’t it be nice if rulings against the talibangelical dictatorship actually carried any weight anymore?
