I think there are mods and admins that will panic and so banning won't be possible without drama.

I would avoid it. I would also only buy a car like this if it came with a decent warranty or you took it to a shop of your choice to get it inspected first. The most expensive and risky parts of a car are all internal and require a proper inspection. Alternatively if you got a fantastic deal from a trusted person that's trying to help you out (which must be distinguished from a charlatan telling you they're helping you out while ripping you off).

You have the right idea though imo. A Corolla with less than 150,000 miles is right in that price range and is the most likely thing to keep chugging along for years.

Inflation is just rising costs. It includes price gauging and having to pay tariffs.

I still think there's going to be a "harm reduction Genocide Joe" contingent here. Prepare for draaaaaama.

A high inflation regime promotes taking on debt as inflation makes it cheaper to pay off. That debt will get spent. If hyperinflation is threatened, buying inflation hedges is the "smart" move - real estate, gold, foreign assets. This similarly applies to simply not holding on to savings, as inflation devalues all money that you save at a faster rate than durable goods.

This is, literally, basic economics. And none of it is mentioned in the article.

The best part is that it's not even that difficult to make the thing on the left panel.

Believe it or not I have yet to hear a liberal talk about Uyghurs irl. And I interact with truly insufferable liberals regularly.

I object to this on the grounds that knowing things that make Anerikkkan failures less funny is revisionist.
