I would do unspeakable things to be able to get a remote job and live in Sapporo though.

I wish. It's currently 45 where I am, and it's barely past noon.

I don't get seasons where I live. It's just hell year-round.

Aren't you funny? I needed a new car because mine died.

I just had to get a new car back in March, and while I love it, it's not something I can just recommend to anyone. Even in its base configuration, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 starts out at like $42,000 USD.

But Chevrolet intentionally denied owners access to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, whereas that comes standard with the Ioniq 5 (and I believe wirelessly from the 2025 model year; someone please check that, though).

Hahahahahaha

That too, yeah

The best way to solve this though is through control of the means of production. Can't have this if the business is owned by the state.

Don't give them any money at all. Private businesses literally should not exist.

I'd love to say this is a great joke, but it wouldn't shock me if Formula One leadership are delusional enough to think they can do this.

Seize the means of production. Honestly, that private businesses have been allowed to exist has been one of the greatest mistakes in American history.

Pretty sure Formula One would have to breach a few contracts to make that work. Plus you'd end up with entire large areas like the US going without races, which would severely stunt the sport's growth. This is just such a shitshow...

Money really is the root of all evil

And where on the calendar does this even fit? Same problem with South Africa. There aren't any spots left on the calendar. If anything, I'd be in favour of cutting the non-European races just to reduce wear on drivers, and increase the series's sustainability, environmentally speaking.

I think what's going on is some Game of Thrones type shit behind the scenes.

What in the fuck. Can Boeing be permanently disqualified as a NASA supplier moving forward?

I think it would actually be the end of RBR in Formula 1.

And so begins the fall of Red Bull Racing. Any bets Max leaves F1 at the end of next year, or shortly thereafter?

Oh, lovely. Also, "joint venture" my ass.
