    Never, because it's not sized for big rigs.

    However I've seen plenty of U-Hauls, taxis, delivery vans, and so forth .

  5. What are you talking about? Since that's not what the article is talking about.

    I'm not sure you know how investigations work. That's how they begin. You nail them on the easy to prove stuff to get them to talk about the rest.

  10. > Finally they get some backbone,

    Except they didn't.

    The_Dotard which has numerous actual murders is still open.

  14. You can hate Equifax all you want, but you should really be also complaining about all the other companies that are giving it to them.

    If nobody freely (or with some $$$) gave them your information when you signed up for stuff, they wouldn't have a business.

  15. And before people go "But he was an Obama nomination" it was Mitch fucking McConnell that recommended him.
