I’ve been watching this for like three minutes and I laugh every single time.

Proper etiquette would have been for her to yell, “TWO!”

Leave it to Jalopnik to cry out for buttons when their isnt any, and explode when theres too many... w/e

Its not, unless its a special by the financing department at the dealership. Every bank I have ever worked with, no matter what year the vehicle is, the longer the term, the higher the interest rate, even if the difference from a 5 year or 6 year loan was usually pretty negigble at like 0.1 difference or less on never…

I don’t think getting a longer term at a lower apr is very likely is all. 

This description really undersells how bad Hader was. He still should’ve gotten out of it, if not for Zimmerman’s bloop falling in between everybody, but had no command and earned those runs.

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

If his almost giving up potentially classified information about the border technology is any indication and between what he does know, because they had to tell him, coupled with being unfit from the get go, is the reason I keep thinking some agencies/departments will probably be nervous once he does leave office…

Some of that is they’ve bought into the story. It’s not my fault I can’t get a job/retire/get educated/etc, It’s because of those Mexicans/gays/blacks/etc. They get all the breaks and it’s keeping me down!

“Non-educated” is also a good proxy word for “non-experienced,” meaning a lot of those people have never been to places outside their hometowns and seen or interacted with people fundamentally different from them. This makes the average under-50 non-educated white male extremely vulnerable to manipulation, as they are…

I’ve found this with most racist, conservative olds. They aren’t curious about anything. They are also never wrong, according to them. They don’t read or watch anything that does not conform to their world view. What I find amusing is that they watch other racist assholes on tv who “are just asking questions,” and nod…

Something not mentioned....the boomers saw the transition to the service economy. They saw the passing of the high school graduate  who worked for one company for a lifetime and paid for his house and his kids college. Part of the 4th fear.

That fits very well with my father's theory that your view on what things should cost is fixed when you first start paying for yourself, so usually mid 20s 

He is also literally going down the same hole many boomers are: Fox News brain rot.  It used to seem like Trump was cynically repeating conservative conspiracy BS.  Now it’s clear that he actually believes the worst of the fever swamp nonsense.

extremely well said.  I look at my parents, who were 30 in 1980 and think to that time as exactly when america went off the rails. 

One of the best heuristics I’ve ever come across to explain people’s politics is to ask myself what was going on when this person was approximately 16-25. It takes a lot of active knowledge about American history, but it’s very effective.

My parents are just a few years older than Trump, but technically not boomers since both were born during the war. I think it’s less his generation, and more being a failson. The guy has never had to work, really work, a day in his life. His father was the self-made man. Trump inherited from him, and I think has a…

A lot of under 50, non-college educated, (mostly) white males voted for him.

Agreed on all points. I’d like to add one minor thing, though. Trump further encapsulates the Boomer id, in that he doesn’t understand the role he’s played in his failures. He rails against banking and lending systems, as if they’re the reason he can’t run a successful business. He’s perfect, and his businesses are…

I find myself thinking that President Trump is not merely one of the worst people his generation produced, but the embodiment of the collective id of that generation. Thin-skinned, venal, looking for someone else to blame and so very, very scared of changes.
