Improvement is relative. We can’t just give the lower class a ton of money.

I agree on your first two points. I don’t accuse him of being socialist. Socialism is not communism. Socialism is a system which is made to benefit society, aka the people. Free healthcare, public education, government insurance are all socialist ideas. Socialism has been demonized since the cold war and it’s annoying…

I actually want something 24hrs of Lemons worthy (see: extra shitty) but daily driveable, so some boring stuff with a stick like an old Camry have been decent options for me.

Eh, I agree with you on something!

Yeah, they do. Besides crazy Bezos with a twitch in his eye that he probably developed from stress and people who have some crazy roles which make them vulnerable and put tons of responsibility on their shoulders, rich people seem very happy. It’s just a great feeling when you go to the grocery store and don’t have to…

I mean, I’m not 100% decided, but the things I’ve been eyeing for more than a couple days are NA Miatas and old Volvos. I just go to gregslist and filter for stuff that has a manual, costs <$5K, and isn’t from a dealer within 100 miles. If some smoking deal pops up, I ask about it. 99% of people don’t respond, though.

It seems many people are of the belief that we have beat this thing and everything is going back to normal

looks like a tweel

I know you’re saying it as a joke, but electric cars are worse by many aspects than gas cars. A disk brake is undeniably better than a drum.

Clouds give shade, though, which I like much more than electric cars.

I hear that often when people resist new tech, but it’s not really applicable. A car was an improvement over a horse because it was more controllable and didn’t require food, with the only real drawback being speed.

Wait, what car are you using for the amount of energy it uses? What distance are you using for miles/yr? Are you taking into account that most cars are less efficient in the real world (not smooth drivers, bad roads, traffic, stomping the gas sometimes, not ideal temperature)?

What’s the whole debate even about? An I’m pretty sure the strict definition for both are essentially the same, but Internal Combustion Engine sounds better than Internal Combustion Motor and Electric Motor sounds better than Electric Engine.

Exactly. Porsche sells tens of thousands of cars a year. It’s not like all of them are some type of money laundering, corrupt politicians or business owners. I mean, I’m sure there’s a handful, but it’s not like there aren’t any middle/lower class people who steal and do “bad” things.

This is also an interesting argument. I hear many people say “money doesn’t buy happiness” and “be yourself”, and those who say it are primarily liberals. I respect they’re opinions, but I strongly disagree. And you’ve just proven here:

Yes Brad, you’re communist. You’re saying that as if capitalism is bad. Yes, it’s not really showing its strong suit right now, but most of your life will not be a pandemic. By the way, I’d actually consider myself a bit of a socialist with some spice of conservative. Socialism is not communism. Americans need to…

Exactly. I mean, yeah, there are some situations like now when capitalism shows off their weak side and socialism or communism would’ve been beneficial, but it’s really great whenever life is going normally (99% of the time).

Hey Justin. I didn’t want to say “you’re poor, so deal with it”. I’m also not rich. I just would much rather see an article with some good jokes, some new actually interesting info, and some less complaining. The complaining part seems to be present in a metric shit ton of your articles, and despite some of your…

You don’t need to be bribing politicians to afford a 911... christ man. And rich people pay a good bit on taxes.

I am 15. My parents both drive camrys. I’ve also said that before. And I’m not a rich kid. I’ll have a car at 16, yes, but it’ll be a pretty damn shitty turd.
