At this rate, I’ll be hanging onto my truck until I die.

Trumplestiltskin doesn’t understand why we don’t want to go back to the 80's malaise era. The 80's were great for spoiled, awful rich kids like him, and he likes malaise on his sandwiches.

Look at it this way, if he does this then when it all collapses and implodes (as it surely will) then when it gets repealed as a matter of vital business need, then maybe the original chicken tax will be repealed with the whole damn thing.

Seems pretty easy to me. There’s no congestion if no one has a job to go to.

Unfortunately he may have died in the fire because his giant steel balls wouldn’t let him get out of the tiny cab of the bulldozer.

Back in the late 80's the Military had Wang Computers with a primitive E-Mail System know as Wang-Mail. “I will Wang you” was an acceptable term.

PG is right.

No one is forcing anyone to buy something they can’t afford. And I’m not talking about predatory practices from lenders or shady dealers, that is a whole other story.

I always say it doesn’t matter if they took money directly Their suppliers did and Ford would have failed without the bailout along with GM and Chrysler.

Sears was still a perfectly healthy company into the early 2000s, they fucked up when Lampert gained control and merged them with the failing K-Mart Holdings, which he also controlled. The combined company just inherited and magnified all of K-Mart’s existing problems and the rest of the business got dragged down into…

I get hindsight is 20/20, but all they really needed to do was move from a paper catalog to an electronic one.

Keep the Ford and use the 10k to buy a commuter car for the job you’re going to take to keep the farm away from the sheriff’s sale.

Unfortunately depreciation is calculated from the $35,000 MSRP so it loses $10,000 instantly.

Exactly. The minute an EV drives off the lot, its value drops by at least $7,500 (or whatever the value of the rebate is on that vehicle). So the depreciation on EVs is skewed.

EVs are especially susceptible as well.
