I keep seeing takes that F1 is leaving IndyCar in the dust in America, but IndyCar found a way to embarrassingly link up with an unpopular despot of a country for a street race without even leaving its home market. That's innovation! F1 has to go to other continents to do that!

Hyundai may have been right in thinking that many buyers just want a vehicle that looks like a pickup, whether it's useful or not. But the Maverick fills that niche and more.
You’ll be missed you little weirdo but I stand by my opinion that this was never actually intended to be a volume model and compete with the Maverick
< 40k units annually isn’t much competition. Ford sold that in Q4. Hyundai was never going to give up more spots on their line for this over a Tucson

Good journalists will make sure you—not a public figure, not a commutations pro—understand what talking to reporters means. They will clearly explain what on/off the record, on background mean and ensure you know what applies when you’re speaking to them. And they will put source protection first.
For the amazing on-the-ground heroes in MN: it would be sooo valuable for you talk to media. We need to show that it’s just regular folks who are standing up for their neighbors.
If you would like media training to help you feel comfortable doing that, please hmu
