Working class voters when they realize the billionaires they voted for are pursuing policies that benefit billionaires over the working class.

i mean can’t you see he’s busy having children ??

Funny thing:

The only business he truly spend time at is Twitter, and it’s not going well. Other than that he’s just trolling around and explore new business venture like buying himself the American government.

For a guy who is the CEO of at least 5 different companies, he sure does have a LOT of spare time. 

It’s true the US economy is doing very well right now and recovered from pandemic issues much better and faster than others with the miraculous soft landing almost nobody thought was possible.

It’s the only economy that’s not on the brink of collapse right now.

The US economy is carrying the world right now. It’s the only economy that’s not on the brink of collapse right now. Pretty much every other developed economy has been hit hard repeatedly by food and energy prices skyrocketing, foreign and domestic security issues, and general civil strife.

From the anecdotes I’ve been hearing for years, it seems the real problem (besides the EV turmoil, which is to be expected as the industry largely transitions away from ICE) is that Wall Street sees a new financial milestone reached and decides that the milestone is the baseline moving forward. RV companies sold…

Here’s a fucking clue for the automakers: When your markets are in the midst of a recession (or on the tipping point), raising prices, adding markups, and just being assholes isn’t the way to LONG-TERM profitability. Sure, you’ll make your quarterly bonuses, but you’re screwing yourselves in the long term.

Dropping truth bombs. This is the best take. And, FWIW I’ve seen you advocate for this position before. You’re pretty quick to defend tuners, stance cars, donks etc... because as you said, there’s more than one way to love cars. 

as someone who use to do autocross and track days in a non-typical car I approve of this message.

My personal daily is my Mazdaspeed3, which I love to death, but at the same time sometimes its nice to be able to take my wife’s Odyssey out for a quick errand instead of deal with the hassle of everyone on the road trying to race me.  I don’t care what anyone says, minivans are awesome

You would be surprised how much of what’s “fun” in an enthusiast car is actually code for uncomfortable or complicated.

It’s ok to say, I deserve to be comfortable and to be able to do a 7 hour drive without feeling like I just ran a marathon. It’s OK to say, yeah, I really don’t want to “feel the road” because the road is a poorly maintained piece of garbage. It’s OK to say, I want my partner not to hate driving with me. :)

For a lot of people, Just having A PRICE is a feature. Haggling sucks. It just does. It adds anxiety and awfulness to a process that does not need it. And it justifies the need for car salesmen. Which are 100% unnecessary. Because we have the internet, we’ve already done the research.

This right here.  My daily is a hot hatch, but I commute that fucker.  Its just sometimes I let it rip on an onramp or at a redlight (within legal limits).  But I still look at workaday cars and think it’d be nice to have one of those to do the job my current car is doing just fine, because that regular car would do…

I had a used Saturn as my second car, best car I’d ever owned untill my Mazdaspeed3.  If I’d known then that I’d have this job within a year of losing the Saturn I’d have kept it parked until I could afford the fix :(

I like this take a lot. Learning to enjoy cars for what they were intended for is still being a car enthusiast. We like machines with oily whirly bits. A truck or a van can be just as interesting as a sports car if you approach it like the machine it is. 

Adding on to the Saturn angle, I had some idiot at one of those shady buy-here-pay-here lots try to sell me on a Saturn L100. He said they were “reliable because they were built by Toyota”.
