4·2 months agoGrew up near Chicago…
A lot of those people commute into the city and walk several blocks to their building. Sneakers are just better for that. Most probably keep dress shoes at the office and change at work. Also makes your dress shoes last longer and keeps them all polished up.
Looks like 100-150m or so to me. The camera was panning quite quickly so it’s blurry.
My link is to factcheck.org so if you have another link I’d be willing to read it.
Edit: I went searching for what you’re talking about around the 2007ish time period and I simply can’t find it. Everything is about TARP in 2008 which started with Bush and Ford didn’t take from. Ford did take a 5.9B loan from the Department of Energy in 2009. Looks like they did pay that loan back but have since taken another.
Say what you will but Ford was the only one of the big three that didn’t take money directly. That isn’t to say they didn’t benefit from those programs however.
This move was still colossally stupid. They tried to save millions and costs themselves billions.
I have coworkers with varying degrees of proficiency with AI. The ones that are better with it rein it in when it goes haywire. I have less of an issue with this. It still does awkward stuff here and there. The ones that are bad with it just commit the code for review and annoy me. When 60-80% or so of your PR can be refactored away then it’s a crap PR and honestly never should have been one. Don’t make me read through 2000 lines that should have been 400. It’s a waste of time. This mostly is it doing brain dead things like instead of passing a parameter into a method it makes 4 nearly identical methods.
I mostly use AI to implement a solution, not come up with the solution. I don’t care how fast you can type…AI can type faster. That also means I understand what it’s trying to build and how it should be going about it. That does mean you still have to use your brain and not offload your critical thinking to the machine which is what I see a lot of people doing with it.
In that regard I like AI but it’s still a love/hate relationship for sure. It both saves and costs me time just in different ways.

I remember my father complaining about his company card. Apparently the bank backing the card had some restriction that the maximum amount for an individual transaction could only be some percentage of the cards limit. For example purposes let’s say that’s 20%. He had to purchase stuff for $30-40K on occasion. Which means the cards limit had to be $150-200K.
