Phil has a question:

Was Stantec too busy with Elon.

Local architecture firm Stantec worked hard to spatialize the qualities of the Tesla brand and its products, down to the inconsistent gaps in the facade’s metal paneling. Stepping into the ground floor dining area further demonstrates how fine the line really is between the fastidious minimalism of an Apple store and the cartoonish detailing of a theme park restaurant. The midcentury-esque seating, long countertop, and Tomorrowland-style finishes all point aggressively in the same direction, as overhead cove lighting leaves little room for shadows in the 24-hour establishment.

Phil has a question:

Is there a more fucking useless Mayor anywhere else in the world than the couldn’t drive a bus so let’s become a politician Amarjeet Sohi.

Why is the fucking useless couldn’t drive a bus so let’s become a politician Mayor Amarjeet Sohi complaining about a project on an empty field that will bring jobs and people into the area when the fucking useless couldn’t drive a bus so let’s become a politician Mayor Amarjeet Sohi and his equally fucking useless clown council couldn’t attract any business to the area.

Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

Phil has a question:

Isn’t competition and free enterprise part of business.

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
