  • Just bought an EV from a local dealer. Went in on Saturday because they had a 2 month used listing on their website for about 10k under MSRP. They told me, oh no that sold, but please check out the new cars. I entertained them and told them they’d need to bring down the price 10k to get me to sign because it’s simply out of my price range. They also mentioned these things (ioniq 6) are selling extremely quickly and they only have a few on the lot.

    They insisted and played games for a week, with offers OVER msrp, so I let them waste their time. They pushed me to come in, so as I was about to sign, I told them, actually, no. I need an offer 10k under MSRP or I’m leaving. At this point that was a 15k cut. They’ve now wasted a week of negotiation and suddenly found the used one I originally requested, but it was at their off-site lot.

    We drove over there, and it was a large 5 story parking deckcompletely filled to the top. They even had cars parked in front of cars. They tried one last game and made me wait for 3 hours to get it out.

    All that is to say, let the fuckers bleed. If they can’t afford Christmas, maybe they need to learn what the fuck capitalism really means. If they can’t afford new years, it’s time to make a new resolution and if they can’t afford spring break, it’s time to find a new job.









  • Education isn’t the problem. It’s self control. People think they prioritize rational decisions but if that were true, cigarettes would be long gone and global warming would be solved. We prioritize feelings which is why GOP loves to fear monger and push religion. Nothing scarier than a eternal suffering, especially since eternity lasts a long time.

    In this case, we have two countries that have held a religious divide for decades based on who believes they’re actually worshipping the correct people so they don’t get sent to eternal suffering. Except, they’re willing to kill for their religious text because they feel so deeply that theirs is superior.

    How can we as outsiders possibly take the right actions when the irrational people are willing to commit genocide over their feelings brains?
