2nd gear. If you don’t mind the V6, you can get a new body style convertible Stang for 16-18k pretty readily with 35-45k miles. A lot of them are ex-rental cars. Again its not the 8, but its still plenty quick and lets you get into that convertible Stang you dreamed of as a kid.

Turns out flat wages for a decade means consumers can’t buy the products they used to buy anymore. And the solution of longer loans or subprime lending has a limit, that they are apparently starting to hit. Is the trickle-down scheduled to start soon? It’s been about 30+ years, so it’s overdue.

Unless the subject is one of them.

Absolutely. What a travesty. Can you imagine if slavery were up for debate, each time a new administration was inaugurated? Absurd and pathetic.

I’m sad to see that rights are only a matter of the will of those in power to enforce them. See: independent investigations, the DOJ...

And her brother founded Blackwater! Literal fucking mercenaries! One’s destroying public education, the other owns a company of unaccountable thugs who are probably committing war crimes as we speak. Somehow, both turned out to be much worse for the world than Amway. What are the odds?

All MLM’s are pyramid schemes. There is no meaningful difference between the terms.

And her brother founded Blackwater! God bless America!

Now she’s peddling the newest scam of all, charter schools for all.

Apparently you don’t wanna hurt that friend’s fee fees. However, I’d argue they lost the privilege of having their fee fees considered when they decided to pitch a scam to me.

I’m sure that’s purely a coincidence, just like all the other complete coincidences in this crony Whitehouse

Mine too. Amway “came back” when they thought we forgot about it. I have a brother in law who tried to get us in by talking about its “long history” as a company. My alley cats who eat damn near anything wouldn’t touch the cat food, and that shit is as expensive as doing your grocery shopping at your local gas station.

Were it about her wanting to go back to school, or maybe take up yoga or even if she was genuinely interested in changing careers, totally. I would be an extreme bag of dicks for shutting her down.

...oh and speaking of Amway, the founder’s daughter-in-law is now Secretary of Education!!! ‘Merica!!!

What is it with the laundry detergent? A neighbor once tried to rope me into Amway. My first thought was “how much effing laundry detergent do you think need living by myself wearing the same pants for a week?”

Here’s a reenactment of a discussion from three years ago dealing with MLM’s.(we didn’t even need the money):

Multi-level marketing may not be a pyramid scheme, but all I know is that my parents got talked into Amway by friends and there’s still a dozen boxes of Amway laundry detergent in their basement 40 years later.

“Sorry, all my investment money is tied up in Bluestar.”

Can we finally melt that damn statue of the enabler? Sadly nothing short of Moses coming down mt Ararat with tablets stating Paterno knew would convince the JoeBots that Paterno was a piece of shit who enable the rape of children.
