Everything is shot on HD video and even shithole nations have their own movies. Hollywood isn't nearly as relevant, worldwide as it was in 1960. The international audience for American awards shows is tiny.
What does get exported and dubbed, is mostly 'blowed up real good' CGI fests.
Disability fraudsters are stealing from the disabled. They ARE SCUM.
The USA has been gaining 1 million additional 'disabled' every year since welfare reform passed. The whole system is routinely gamed. Lawyers make careers out of getting disability for the able bodied One million more per year, while the big demo bump (baby boom) ages out of SS disability and onto regular SS.
Good news. The California 'High Speed Rail' build crew has just become available.
They should put your schedule 'right'. You'll have Sydney light rail connecting Alice Springs with the nearest empty crossroads in only 10 years...depending on the breaks.
Or maybe the TV rating system is horribly broken and telling them what they want to hear. Do you also believe Facebook's ad impression numbers?
I don't believe for a second that about 1 in 10 americans watch the Oscars. That would be among the most watched network TV shows in the year. How did they even count the 'fall asleep' factor?
You do need a healthy engine. Any modern 'fast' car is capable. Vettes, Mustang GTs, EVOs, WRX Tis, Challengers etc. Even Italian and English trash come with big engines these days. Hell English cars are tuned to go maximum speed, faster than any road in england will let them. They use too tall a final drive gear IMHO.
At about 150, the aero forces will start to lift most cars front wheels off the road. Why the limit is where it is. You fix that with downforce.
Almost all cars are currently limited to 155. By a gentleman's agreement between the manufacturers and insurance companies.
That makes some sense. Aero becomes critical at about 150. Those that care, can easily NOP that part of the ECU, when they hopefully install the airdam and spoiler.
You still negotiate individually. It just becomes a negotiation about which job category the employee is in next year.
The good ones are ready to 'vote with their feet' at a moments notice. 'Strict corporate policies' mean _nothing_. 'Department raise budgets' mean _nothing_. Those are just management lies for chumps.
Also: Once you've gone to the trouble of finding a better offer, NEVER accept the counter from the place that was trying to 'get away with it'. They haven't changed, they're just momentarially desperate. They will hold you 'disloyalty' against you, especially if a manager has to eat a pound of shit (or accept no raise/smaller bonus him/her self). Go with the place where you are the 'promising new hire', not the 'entire department raise budget extorting mercenary.'
If you want money, the best way to get it is coming in the door. Even if you've managed to double your salary, all future raises are considered against what you made when you started.

He just really really really really wants to fuck her.
Everybody's been there, usually not THAT expensive.
What? Basically all stock cars need a software update. They come tuned for shit.
Most people wait for the warranty to run.
'Women's Studies' should be cooking, cleaning, baby raising, Kegels and suppressing the gag reflex.
As long as they have gorgeous tits, plenty of backlit camel toe and nipples iced between shots. That's not news to anyone.
The next six years are really gonna suck for you.
Get some help.
They were doing god's work then.
What century are you living in?

What a great night 2016 election night was. Because we knew all you morons were bleating.
It's going to be a rough six years for you.

You can get as many ponies out of a turbo bug motor as you want/need.
It won't be cheap, durable, run on pump gas or be your best choice. But it's been done many many times. Ask one of the old guys at the track.
W and Z rated tires are rated well above 155.
Once a wreck has happened, the insurance company is largely on the hook. Shouldn't have written a policy on that monstrosity.
You do need good power, a not broken transmission and good tires. To do it on other than a perfect road, you need good shocks.
To go over 150 and not backflip the car, you need to work the aero.
You don't turn wrenches. It's obvious.

How about just geofencing them off roads with over 25 mph speed limits.
Many/most have moved onto a pius.
It was the diesel Volvos that had the very worst drivers of all.
There are nuts in SF that drop a big old texas in the streets. No denying it.
You're thinking of Subaru.

Even now, when Volvos (along with half the failed euro car brands) are just Fords, Volvo owners are _non-drivers_.
One of the neighborhood ladies (soap watching housewife) watched them when I was a kid. Nobody I've known since.
How bored would someone have to be to watch such crap. Or to care, at all, about the lives of such a bunch of self absorbed morons.
Relevant?
Anybody ever watch any award shows? Anybody even know someone that has watched an award show?
Hollywood is just an episode of 'Jerry Springer'. The 'stars' are just 'I fucked my sister' type sideshow geeks. Ship has sailed.

All it takes is a bow in your hair. Cartman led the way.
