People will drive to three different grocery stores to save $0.20 on eggs, but they won’t put in the effort to make sure the guy who takes financial advantage of people professionally doesn’t screw them out of thousands on a five-figure purchase....

I just feel there is a correlation between things we negotiate and haggle over like houses and cars and their prices rising faster than inflation and wages.

Never bought a Scion, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that you could haggle on a Saturn. The price might have been fixed, but the bottom line wasn’t. Doubly true if you were trading something in.

There is a much easier way. Skip the blender. Throw the rinds in a jar or ziplock with sugar and wait.

This is the kind of comment that could only be made by an idiot who doesn’t realize that $300 downstream O2 sensor they needed to replace (and buy the first time) is only there to verify compliance with emissions regulations that they weren’t violating.

As somebody who was an extremely early investor in an interlock device company, I disagree with this. It’s not about punishing criminals in odd ways so much as it’s about our society being completely OK with government funneling money to people with connections as long as you can demonize the people you’re taking it…

Congratulations on being a drunk driving suspect. You are hereby guilty until you prove yourself innocent.

Some will when they have children. The ones who remain childless will never get it.

This comment is oddly out of tune with this article and the rest of the comments here.

We have a crossing near my house that is parallel to a cross street, and there’s a 3-way stop sign. Usually you can tell in advance that the person in front of you is a fucking moron and is going to stop at the non-existent stop-sign so you know not to pull onto the tracks behind them and get stuck there while they…

They’re cheaper-in-theory than an elevated rail line, and they’re sexier than a guided busway even though they’re essentially a guided busway. What’s not to like?

We need to fix revenue-through-fines. It’s an unconscionable conflict of interest.

The real issue is people who are well off are buying up all the MSRP orders from large dealers, then...

Speaking as yet another millennial who doesn’t see the parallels to how prior generations experienced the same exact thing, you mean.

So anxious to blame corporations that you missed the fact that the problem is lawyers.

I’m with the other responders. That’s not dumb. It’s fucking awesome. Good job past-you!

I had the JB Whitney catalog just like every other 90s teenager. But my answer is way more boring: Cheap-ass made-in-china no-brand wheel bearings. Specifically the kind that are part of the whole hub assembly on an F-350.
