My dad grew up in Trona, it was a bit more hopping in those days.

My initial post was to say that cars that were once 50k can be bought a year old for 30k and are good cars.

I buy cars for fun too, as soon as my warranty was up I turned up the boost. But also I like bikes which for me provide a lot more of that.

So you did exactly what I said people should do, wait and buy them a year used, perfect, agreed.

If that's how you buys cars I guess it doesn't affect you but I did buy a car in 2019 as a matter of fact and it is payed off and worth over 20k still and I was never underwater.

ICE cars lost value less than EVs, I thought that was implied in my posts? I think you would be hard pressed to find an ICE car that lost as much value as an EV6 or Ionic 5. Not even close.

I am not sure better is the right word. You can get a 2023 Ionic 5 for under 30k, which is normally a 50k car new. Same car. Also for a wild loss take a look at the Audi E-trons.

I am describing myself, if you have no issue paying 50k for a 30k car, that's good for you.

Maybe you're okay with having over payed for a car by 20k, but I think it would suck. It isn't a year out, it's 3 years out and the guy who bought it used has it payed off and you're still 20k in. How fun. And have fun buying gap insurance. Sometimes your situation changes and you want a new car.

People have no idea how efficient an ICE is, they know they can fuel up in five minutes and that there will be gas stations all over the place. It's still a lot more tricky with electric cars.

It's not an investment, but it certainly is a bummer that someone buying your car a year old has to take out a much smaller loan, and it also means having to carry gap insurance.

It's still an issue though, especially when you get in to highway driving and towing it gets even more significant of an issue.

Still even with the terrible efficiency of ICE, it has a lot more energy. It's that EVs are 90-95% efficient that they can even compete at all. Here's a good video on energy density:

Also until recently they were significantly more expensive and less available and had terrible charging infrastructure. And now that we see the used market, and EVs have lost a significant amount of value compared to ICE cars, maybe people were right to wait and see.

Also electric cars are bottoming out on price right now. Ionic 5s that sold for 50k are under 30k a year old right now.

I used to like it, but the last few months were just flooded with pro-Trump content to the point I had to remove it. I even reset the algorithm thinking it was me engaging with them that did it and it still happened.

In the current iteration it defaults to on, but you can turn it off, it's only on specialized ARM laptops right now.

I am supportive of your move to vote for Trump, I am not sure exactly what you want here, I think it would be weird for people who think Joe Biden is committing genocide to vote for him, you like Trump's policies better, so vote trump. Like I'm not on Twitter asking maga people to vote Biden either

I am agreeing with you, I think you should vote for whoever you want. It sounds to me like you hate Biden and like Trump, so I think it would be weird for you to be in the same party as me, and I think you should vote for Trump.

I think people should vote for who they agree with most on the issues and sounds like Trump is your guy. Can't fault you for finding your candidate.

I live in Portland Oregon, I know about homeless issues but also life has been returning to normal pre-covid. Are things perfect? of course not, but things are a lot better, crime, economy, etc. He's not out of touch since I'm not some rich guy and I see it too.

The thing is this group had their wages go up more than any other group and outpaced inflation.

I think it's because these are the examples people use. It's actually good that wages are going up and people working fast food make more money. The trend of low wage earners making more money is good actually.

It's always weird how people talk about how other people are suffering. I make average wage, and I can afford a lot more than I did pre-pandemic. everything is more expensive, but also I can afford it. This seems to be the case with lots of people according to actual wage data

The thing is, you can't use Door Dash prices to talk about inflation. I also like how people will find a super expensive hybrid apple that weighs two pounds at whole foods, so it costs like $8 and say apples cost $8.

I was watching the MLB channel and they had like a 5 minute sponsored gambling segment right in the middle of their regular show, and appeared to just be a normal segments. Really not great.

But blind faith that the economy is bad and all polling is bad is part of your movement, so you have to make things up to support it.

You know he could have provided proof that the economy is terrible and the poll is fake, but instead you guys seem to want to latch on to crazy conspiracy theories, which is your right, but that is not critical thinking.

You can criticize anything you want, if you are saying the poll is wrong though, you should provide evidence instead of making shit up.

You haven't shown any proof of this, I have no idea why you think just saying shit means its true, but this is typical of someone who engages in casual conspiracies
