Weird how large companies get all pissy when tax handouts come with stipulations. This is exactly the kind of thing that should have been done years ago to encourage domestic production and supply chains instead of the race to the bottom sweetheart tax deals and subsidies with very few enforcement provisions.

I can afford it - but there is no reason I should get a tax break for buying an expensive car, as I said.

Hyundai/KIA best just suck it up and lower their prices by $7500 until those new facilities are ready. Call it “buying market share”.

It’s absolutely mind-boggling how these droughts are kicking the southwest US in the ass, and China, and Europe. I did my Army enlistment as NATO headcount in Germany—it rained all the time—like every third day. Even the summers were cold and wet in southern Germany (stationed in Wurzburg). Point being, I’m seeing…

History sticks around for a LONG time. There will be areas of France and Belgium that cannot be inhabited by humans for centuries from WW1.

Going out on a limb and saying that I really love this car. I personally think it looks great, and the interior is one of the best in a modern production car. The range would even work perfectly for my daily use. And very likely having the only one in Ohio would be a fun bonus, too. 

Lackluster, but it had some good design features that will undoubtedly carry to other vehicles. I love the interior.

You’re right, someone with a degree likely gets paid more over their lifetime. Which also means that the government collects more tax revenue over their lifetime than if they didn’t go to college.

Just because this didn’t exist for you (or for me, I paid off my own loans) doesn’t mean we shouldn’t right this obvious wrong and do the right thing for everyone going forward.

Sure, those with massive debt and big salaries are still in a bad place

I love how, continually, interest gets left out. Cause that’s where the real burn is for so many of us. Paying off the principal? Fine. We agreed to do it. Getting absolutely shafted on interest to the point of never even touching the principal is unfortunately more of the reality. Subtracting 10k doesn’t mean jack whe…

10k is a fucking pittance in general, but had we not sold our old house and used the proceeds to finally finish paying my loans (stood at about 8.5k at that point), this would’ve wiped my debt clean and we’d have used that money otherwise. instead biden spent all that time hemming and fucking hawing, playing fucking…

I think his promise was something like “at least $10k,” so while this makes good on that, he could and should go further. Is your argument that president Biden WON’T do more because he doesn’t want to, or that he CAN’T do more because he doesn’t have the authority? The latter, I think, is wrong, the former is still…

People’s spending tends to grow with their income, and what they consider comfortable vs struggling also changes. I have no doubt that she’s being very truthful about how she perceives her situation, and I also have no doubt that if I suddenly had her income I’d feel wealthy. But it probably wouldn’t take long for me…

Here’s another advice: don’t get your education for virtually no added cost and then decide to make money charging your kids and grandkids out the wazoo for theirs.

Cool story. Now can you let the banks from 2008 and the businesses with their PPP loans know?

Hell yeah. No better way to cap off a summer of political momentum for Dems than moderate, means-tested, financial relief. I can just see Democratic turnout surging now. Man, if Dems hold Congress, the sky’s the limit. We might be able to increase Pell Grant funding by 5%!

Only way you can have 10 years experienence by the end of College...
