RPN is pretty much the rotary engine of the calculator world, no?

Of course, the reason for this vast difference was a bevy of unnecessary and overpriced extra dealer fees and an interest rate that they could have easily beaten through their credit union.

I admire a man with principles. especially when those principles require bringing a tanker truck of fuel with you to travel 20 miles.

Be careful - friends of mine did the same thing. Kid is in first grade, still won’t sleep in her own bed.

Mrs. Maisel is wonderful.  Both incredibly well-written and brilliantly acted.  

Only in NY can you take a legal document waiving all legal rights, do something explicitly against said legal document, sue, and law dictates that legal document be null and void.

Those places often DO have a penalty for paying it off early. Typically, it’s a pre-calc’d loan, where the amount of interest you have to pay is set upfront, rather than calculated monthly as a function of the balance. So, if you’re borrowing $10k over five years at 20%, you’d get a payment of $265. Make 10 of your…

But still, I jumped and discharged my pistol both times by accident.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t buy a car I couldn’t afford to pay for with cash.  But, if, instead of paying upfront, someone offered me the option to pay the same amount over time, I’ll take that in a microsecond.  

A man who rapes a woman is at fault. Wearing revealing clothes is risky for women, is all I’m getting at. They have minimal options, one of which is go out in public where they risk sexual assault. Some opt to do that, some don’t. I’ve seen sexual predators circling many women dressed in revealing clothing. I…

It’s exactly the same thing.  In both cases, you’re saying that the victim bears responsibility for not assuming that the perpetrator is going to break the law and harm them.  

Sometimes it’s “0% APR or $1000 off,” but not always.  

The entire business model at those places is based on people defaulting, so they can repo the car and sell it again.  Friend found a car he actually liked on a BHPH lot (don’t remember the details), and was told flat-out that they would ONLY finance it, and would NOT just take a bank check for the full purchase price. 

At 0% APR, I’d happily sign up for a 1000 month loan.  

Except discretionary enforcement of the law happens all the time. Every time you pass a cop while going 58 in a 55 zone, that’s discretionary enforcement. Now, if 100% of the drivers the cop pulls over for going 58 are black, and 90% of the drivers in the area are white, that’s a problem.  

“Who the fuck was being damaged by this?”

Except in NYC, women are the overwhelming majority of both people and workers.

By that token, we don’t need elevators, washing machines, or electric saws.  

If I could buy dividend stocks with my 401k money I could retire a lot sooner.

While I generally agree with the point of the article, a couple of these points are questionable, at best.
