For the first time in my life, my Congressional representative is a Republican.
As a bonus, he beats up reporters that deserve it.

Re: Does not follow...
All modern vehicles are designed by engineers, not mechanics. Had an old-school engineer (he'd started out as a machinist, graduated to tool-and-die, then to engineering) tell me "Never trust an engineer who won't get his hands dirty. If he's not willing to get dirty, everything he knows, he learned from a book, not from real life."
But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix, with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."

As far as making vehicles hard to work on - 90%+ of the time they know that they are doing it; it isnt engineering it is economics. If it saves money up front - they do it. The extra maintenance cost isn't paid by the car maker (usually) and since most new car buyers don't work on their own cars it makes no difference to sales.

^^this^^it isnt engineering it is economics.
13 years in the field as a mech or tech and I was as vociferious as anyone about college boy engineers. Then I went to work in a design/manufacturing business and got deep into the engineering meetings. Humbling it twas.
Now it's the Finance and Accounting folks that get most of my ire.

A snippet from Larry's latest blog post:

The entire thing is pure gold:I’ve got some Facebook friends where it is really laughable, like they’re living in this little crazy bubble where Trump is going to resign tomorrow and they’re going to impeach everybody because of their overwhelming evidence of something something mumble mumble. I’m actually cool with that but only if ideally you could find a way to impeach to about six levels down so we get President Mattis. That would be awesome, thanks.

Frankly, I don't blame people for waffling here, because this is still an outcome that has me scratching my head. And there don't seem to be a lot of options one way or the other without dipping one's toe into conspiracy theory.Comey Firing – Nobody liked him. Get over it. The week before dickweed democrats were ranting about how he needed to go. So either he was a Hillary sabotaging Trump stooge, or he was a Hillary covering Hillary stooge, make up your friggin’ minds already.
ME: What? A guy running for congress body slammed a pushy reporter? That is unacceptable. No matter how annoying they are, it is never right to resort to violence over something so trivial.
ME TWO MINUTES LATER: Oh, it was a GUARDIAN reporter? Heh. Heh heh heh. Ha ha ha ha. HAA HAAA. BWWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA snort. (wipes eyes)
ME TEN MINUTES LATER: Still… Probably not cool.
