    He has TWO luxury cars and then he’s “scraping by for too long”?

    Why did you finance two luxury cars when you need only a means of transportation?

      Part of our decay in America is we’re so isolated from discomfort and the world’s problems that our idea of “struggling” is wildly removed from the rest of the world.

          Psh. “As a whole” if there’s any justice.

          Chances are it’ll just disproportionately affect all of us who have to drag ourselves outta bed at 6AM to clock in at 8, and our crippled wages will afford less bread.

          And our commuter shitboxes will start to make funny noises and we’ll hope it will roll another week, while they’ll be more costly to insure and keep fueled.

          And these people crying about their inconvenient luxuries will definitely be heard the loudest.

          “Muh property tax on muh second house went up 0.5%! NOT FAIR!”

          “Charging my personal fleet of Rivians and Teslas has gotten more expensive! Everyone else must be a communist and the immigrants did this!”

          Or however that sort of brain works.

        If I can remind you of history, for a few years used teslas kept up prices with new. You couldn’t go wrong.

        What everyone forgot then and seem to have forgotten now, is its mostly supply and demand. It has almost nothing to do with the actual car

        • For a while there was ridiculous growth and the manufacturer couldn’t keep up with demand, so used car prices stayed high
        • now growth has slowed, there are other manufacturers and we’re in an adjustment period where supply is ahead of demand. Of course used prices are low.

        Basic supply and demand kiddos
