After weeks of hype and teases, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU) let the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon out of its cage in an appropriately over-the-top event in New York this past week.
Yes, there was an actual cage — and a whole lot of tire smoke. But there was some solid business thinking behind the madness.
Well, since I’m driving a Dodge Dakota these days I should probably get the Demon, too…
The first nine steps get us sober. The last three keep us sober.
It’s one of the two mindsets in recovery circles and I struggled with it for a long time. Not so much because I was in one camp or the other, but because I often find myself returning to Steps 6 and 7 in the here and now. Returning even though I’ve worked the “suggested program of recovery.” I return to them when I’m sick of being me, overly tired of living in a way that keeps me stuck. All done with feeling insane.
I completely agree with the “do whatever works for you” mentality. Of course I’m not in any position to understand your daily struggles. That fact may make my opinion completely moot.
back to the topic.
it’s been so long since i commented on what the speaker led the meeting with…
i never understood anyone who insisted the steps or the program had to be “worked” a certain way. some of it would logically follow the rest, but i always felt like the minute you were serious about staying sober you had worked steps 1, 2 and 3. and every time you kept sober and sane after that you were working the rest of the steps.
the “staying sane” part was especially hard for me. i could “not drink” with the best of them but i could “make crazy” better than most. my own harshest critic. other people in the program were candidates for the loony bin as far as i could tell but i was only in charge of my own behavior. i have behaved every bit as dishonorable stark raving sober as i ever did when i was drunk.
According to The Associated Press, Italian-American sculptor Arturo Di Modica is accusing New York City of violating his legal rights by permitting the installation of “Fearless Girl” in front of his bull, without his permission.
Di Modica is expected to explain this accusation in a news conference on Wednesday, his attorney Norman Siegel claimed. The sculptor will be challenging the city officials who issued a permit for the bronze girl to stay until February of 2018, demanding that the city provide documentation behind the decision.
A day before International Women’s Day, “Fearless Girl” first appeared on the Wall Street traffic island, meant to symbolize the lack of women on the boards of U.S. corporations. Designed by artist Kristen Visbal, the statue was celebrated by some as a model of female empowerment and criticized by others as a form of pinkwashing.
Just to clarify… Charging Bull isn’t meant to represent the exact opposite thing Fearless Girl is opposing. Having her standing defiantly opposite is distorting Di Modica’s artistic intent. I’d be pissed if I were him, too.
I love Fearless Girl but not where she’s at. Seems to me a bit of advertising in the guise of women’s rights all while coat-tailing on another’s work. It’s the right message delivered by the wrong people to the wrong place.
Maybe State Street Corp should’ve installed Fearless Girl in front of Trump Tower.
me too. you can fly whatever flag you want but “time and place”. the “Illinois Nazis” featured in The Blues Brothers were based on a real event. These jackhammers wanted to march. They wanted to march in a heavily Jewish neighborhood. My arrogant opinion is that they didn’t really want to march; they wanted to provoke and be protected while they did so.
