Milton Friedman was a piece of shit, I hope he’s currently being boiled in hell in a pool of the Devil’s jizz with Ronnie and Nancy. The three of them did more to put us in our present circumstances than many others that are often labeled history's villains

The car is fine, I just have philosophical differences with Subaru as a company. I also want to get into a small EV

I’ll sell you my 2016 Impreza Hatchback for $15K with 35K miles. I’ve become disillusioned with Subaru and want to get rid of it. It's a manual

Welcome to social media! 

“You absolutely notice bad social, but you also notice good social”

That checks out and it doesn't surprise me at all
