Two good pieces of news to start off our day:
- The New York Times has officially walked back its support for marijuana legalization.
- The government is preparing to revoke the mandate on stop-start engines in cars.
These are great things that should be celebrated.

Oh, yay. The longer the stop/start thing held, the more it was going to distort the used car market down the road, with everybody trying to avoid those.

When you stop at a stop sign or a light for more than a moment, it cuts the engine. Then, when you hit the gas to move, there’s a momentary pause, when it chugs to turn over. The pause and the chug can be annoying, but it boosts fuel efficiency and cuts down on the pollution that comes from idling cars.
