Nope. You see, MSRP is the price manufacturers suggest that dealers charge you, and manufacturers charge dealers an “Invoice” price. You know who doesn’t do invoice prices? Tesla. Because they don’t have dealers, so there isn’t a middle man markup they have to include.

Except MSRP is the price above the invoice. You know why that is? So dealers get profit.

Tax, state fees, are not BS. Because the state is actually providing a service.

WW declined as a matter of policy to promise a link to the store’s fundraising platform in exchange for an interview.

The “punching up / punching down” idea is so overplayed. Who is or is not oppressed should not be the only standard by which we judge something is worthy of justice. Especially since power is a fluid and dynamic thing that changes by circumstance.

You realize that when you are buying from a dealer, you are still buying from the same company, right? So when you buy a Ford you are buying from Ford regardless of which dealer you buy at. The only difference is how much additional markup you pay over whatever Ford sold it to the dealer at.

Bullshit. Dealers will throw on tons of fees and hidden costs and I have never walked into a dealer and they offered only sticker.

I bought a Model S last year: SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than a stealership. I was like “I want this car, with this stuff” and they were like “you can have that car, with that stuff!” and I was like “at this price?” *points at screen on my phone* and they were like “you bet your happy ass you can have it at that price!”

You, if that list has any truth to it.

People are talking about reducing murder mandatory minimums to 3 years, and you want to leave rape up past 5?

The Title IX process is shitty, don’t believe otherwise. Katie JM Baker (Jezebel alum!) wrote about this two years ago for Buzzfeed and I am struggling to dig up the article, but not all Universities apply Title X complaints in fair or transparent ways, to the victim or the accuser. Most are just treating the process…

“A woman is a drunk, a whore, whereas the guy’s like a partier, a player,” Blunt tells THR. “I’ve been around both women who drink too much and guys who drink too much and it’s just as ugly on the guys... There’s so much judgment with women.”

This is related to Chuck whatshisface right?

Freshman year: roommate was a nudist. He would just be in the room, naked, doing anything. Dick was always out.

This is just shitty dating. And heck, how many creeps like to say “women enjoy the chase” in PUA crap? So lets encourage shitty, creepy behavior of PUAs! Yah! Real hero!

What a spiteful, small person. She is entirely absorbed with material things and her whole personality is about treating people like objects.

This is disgusting. Children are supposed to play here and everyone just wants to make a big gigantic joke out of this towns tiny attempt at a little tourism and some fun for kids. Great. Fuck you people.

Clinton is married to one of the smartest and best known rapists of the era too. Michelle is not.

Yep. Its part of the reason garbage science sticks around too: just today we had the “Power Poses” come under fire because of one of the researchers just sobering up.

Agreed, but when fighting for the same grant money with ever more scientists, I don’t see a way out of it. The short answer is “just spend more money,” but that doesn’t really fix the crux of the issue. There should be some kind of framework that identifies worthy research and directs funding to it, and then other…
