Initial outlay can be, but outlay over time is lower (most people don’t live for just 5 years). Initial outlay may also be lower, since loan times have lengthened (which is connected to longer life of cars).

umm, yep, exactly - and “stagnant or shrinking markets” means ones that most consumers don’t want?

The car industry as a whole does. If Ford doesn’t make a small truck to avoid cannabilizing big trucks, some other car company will make a small truck.

They do as an industry. I.e. Ford/GM might’ve spent years saying people don’t want electric cars, but if the public does want them, along comes Tesla/Nissan.

They are, adjusted for inflation, and especially so if you add in expected life time. What’s truly “Cheaper”? A $8k car that needs to have a complete engine and transmission rebuild every 5 years, and a body that’s just a pile of rust after 10 years, or a $13k car that runs fine for 20 years with just regular oil…

I’m not sure how you can say it’s “not much else” when comparing features that can literally drive, park, steer, and brake for you, in comparison to “power windows” and “heated seats” (I’m sure someone complained about why you would pay extra for an Acura when the only difference were “power” windows, that mean you…

Hmm, weird, I’m seeing something different for some properties, but not others. But yea, regardless - the service fee isn’t disclosed.

I just want to note that Orbitz has the potential to be far better. If you sign up for the Orbitz credit card, you get an additional 5% in Orbucks - so for hotels you can actually get 10% back. In addition, if there is a price disparity between Orbitz and any other website, they’ll actually give you the difference in…

I just checked, airbnb does not list the cleaning fee in the main search page, nor the service fee which I’d actually forgotten about.

AirBnB does the same thing with their “cleaning fee” which is a hidden fee that varies significantly, and is hidden when you first search.

Yep, like the first thing I said, I agree completely with your comments to Artistatlarge - the “nobody can save” comment is overbroad and inaccurate.

You have soap and water, use it.

Cellphones are generally an inhospitable environment for actually dangerous bacteria/viruses that could be harmful to humans, so less likely to reach a dangerous level.

All bacteria is not the same, and amount of bacteria matters, and bacteria multiply.

A lot of that bias is really just faulty memories (i.e. 20 years ago, the boomers were complaining about how the Gen-Xers were never punctual or on time and despondent etc. etc. and the silent generation was saying that about the baby boomers 40 years ago.

Part of the issue is that pure capitalism is imperfect in a real, imperfect world. The same reason why communism, while seeming to be “perfect” on paper, everyone gets what they need and puts in what they can! did not work in real life.

I agree with your arguments against ArtistAtLarge

It was the worst drought in 1200+ years, so, probably?Not to mention lack of watering infrastructure to actually water random hills/mountains.
