What happened to MH370?

I've been following this tragedy and this article is the most comprehensive. If anything, read part 6 about the crazy pilot.

I got tired of waiting for @Tesla to release their pickup truck so I made my own.#TRUCKLA pic.twitter.com/jqT97v3L0c

Candylab Fire Chief

I came home yesterday and saw the boy playing with his new purchase, a wooden car?!

I googled the name of the company and it looks like Jalopnik has done a video on it.

Protests in Hong Kong

How much longer will the protestors fight? And will the Hong Kong/PRC government escalate its own response?

Kolyma Highway documentary

H/t to Sanchez. This Russian documentary with English subtitles is half interviews about the gulag system and half travel shots. Well worth watching.

Fancy cars and wealth inequality

I posed this question on Twitter and got some responses.

Will we liberal car nuts ever reconcile our love for these ultra cars with wealth inequality? https://t.co/Pdw52zLEdF

John Osborn, former NASA engineer, sees fancy cars as art.

Wealth inequality will always exist, and rich people will always own art. I’m glad that the super rich are preserving beautiful objects because merely observing them is better than them not existing. That said, the wealth thing needs to get rebalanced a bit for their own good.

Matt Farah, aka The Smoking Tire, sees it as still less expensive than a yacht.

Lastly, just in terms of scale, seeing a warehouse full of crazy collector cars is a visual shock of wealth, but a rough estimate of all the cars in this photo would buy, about, a single 125’ used motor yacht. Our secretary of education has nine yachts.

Patrick George, head of Jalopnik, says:

Eat the rich, seize their McLarens. It’s called wealth redistribution. Duh

Run the Joules sees union jobs.

Ferrari converts the wealth of capitalists into good paying union jobs. And lies to them about actual production figures.
