Yes, people foolishly gravitate toward trucks and SUVs, fattening the wallets of the car manufacturers and fueling the insanely stupid 7 year auto loan industry [1]. Of course, this is also disastrous for mitigating carbon emissions [2]. Additionally, they are a menace on the roadway through increasing pedestrian accidents and death [3] and likely increasing cyclist deaths [4]. They should be much more heavily regulated, for commercial use only, and require special licensing requiring regular accident avoidance training/testing.

One part Nova Sterling [1], 9 parts hideous. They should have used a CAD system that supported more than straight lines.

Other than still selling the Touch Bar as something we want, I'm somewhat pleased, myself. But I am still unhappy about the keyboard. Perhaps it may be better (a mote of dust won't immediately clog it?), but a 1mm travel is still a 1mm travel: rather abrupt. The drive to continually reduce thickness has to be reversed. I want a good experience with all aspects of a device's usage, that includes the physical human-computer interface.
