Thread 513308341

Americans are fucking drowning from the inflation and the general breakdown of the economy in terms of how the economy functions for ordinary people. This stuff has been setting in for a long time, more than forty years, and each year, more people sink lower. Much of the solid middle class is now becoming working poor and living financially precarious lives. The blue collar sections of the working class were mostly tossed overboard some 30 years ago, definitely by 20 years ago, even before the 2008 crash. For some 45 years, the structure of the economy has been altered to benefit only the elite at the expense of everyone else. It's the neoliberal era.
I think a fair portion of Americans, maybe a third up to even a half of the population, won't be able to afford to drive anymore by 2030. New car prices are around $40,000 for a decent car, not a truck or SUV. $30,000 will get you a new crappy car that isn't reliable. Financing a $40,000 vehicle, with good credit, costs some $600 to $700 per month. Add insurance costs, which have been rising fast, and the cost of driving a new car is around $1,000 per month excluding fuel and maintenance, just financing and insurance.
Used cars are similarly expensive, around $500 per month to finance. No car dealer will finance a car, in the ordinary ways, that is more than 12 years old. For any vehicle thirteen years or older, you have to use classic car financing, which typically requires, even with great credit, at least a 50% down payment, and of course an 16 year old car it not a classic (not yet at least).
Even used cars sold for cash have about doubled in price in the past five years. Look at the prices of very reliable, long-lasting older cars like Buicks and panther platform Fords from the 90s and 2000s. They cost double now than what they did five years ago, and they're five years older too and have more miles on them, in general, at this point.
This situation is not sustainable. It's not survivable for the majority.

Here is the video. Sorry for not putting it in the first comment; I rambled too long.
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/unacceptable-marjorie-taylor-greene-shares-video-of-woman-in-tears-over-financial-stress/

A woman talks about how she can't afford to live anymore despite working overtime. Many are experiencing this.
Marjorie Taylor Greene retweeted it and mentioned how this situation disgusts her, i.e. that so much of the working class is drowning at this point.

>“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to [it] as much anymore,” Greene told the Daily Mail. “I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans.”

Why isn't Trump fixing this shit? He ran as a populist but is ruling as an absolute elitist who serves only Wall St., Silicon Valley, and of course the Jews.

Why are Hindus so against eating meat?
I understand not eating tons of meat, especially for people who are too poor, since they're being priced out of eating meat anymore. The "eat ze bugs" agenda is happening despite Trump's election and he is doing nothing to halt it.
But Hindus just hate meat in general, for poor people and rich people too.
I understand treating animals humanely, but meat is very important to human health. We are omnivores.

We used to have cheap cars but no one buys them anymore because Chad McSuburb would rather get the highest trim King Ranch and finance it at 2,000,000,000% interest than buy a normal sedan that he can actually afford.
The problem with modern American society is that too many stupid people have too much access to credit. At some point we as a society need to recognize that the vast majority of the human population is completely incapable of comprehending debt and just ban them from having credit entirely. Every society to exist since antiquity did this to some extent. We are digging our own grave by not emulating them.

Stupid fuckers that consider the car they drive a sign of making it.
I was raised in a lower middle class neighborhood and now have a net worth of 2.7 million. I do not owe any bank for anything. I have two cars both paid for a 2006 and a 2011 and they run great. Yet I see posers driving around in their leased BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, Lexus, Range Rovers whining their credit cards are maxed out and their kid needs new sneakers to start school.

LMAO this is some nonsense written by a woman

"How DARE you suggest I buy that $15,000 car with 150,000 miles on it?! It probably needs an oil change, or god forbid, new tires!!! Instead of spending a few hundred on routine maintenance I'll overspend by thousands of dollars in the cope that it'll be more reliable" even though expensive cars need the same routine maintenance.

>you can tell americans are idiots, i can get a used toyota here for 1000 bucks and it will drive another 5 years.
Any car for $1,000 nowadays in America will run a few months at most before breaking down, if it even runs and isn't being sold as a parts car. The minimum cost for a vehicle that will last you five years without huge maintenance costs is probably around $6,000 now, and the market for those cars is extremely competitive. When the ad goes up on Facebook Marketplace, the seller finds an interested buyer within two hours. Those cars sell, or are already lined up to be sold, within the first day that they become available.

>American panicking because he's going to have to take a bike, bus or a train for a change.
No buses or trains available in many parts of the US, even many suburbs. Biking is possible when it isn't snowing, but many people have 15+ mile commutes nowadays.

and now the tariff price increases are starting to roll out. Being we have a massive regressive tax in the form of these retarded and pointless tariffs. Like P&G is saying they have 1 billion in tariff costs to recover so now soap and everything else goes up.
All of this to help trump give a tax break to the wealthy... Oh well. Do some OT in the wagie cage I guess. At least no tax on that, well until that middle class tax break expires in 2028. Wealthy keep their tax cuts... of course.

I'm saying a third to half of the population is already being priced out of those reliable old economy cars.
A decent 2000s Toyota with under 200,000 miles on the odometer is now at least $5000 upfront.

You admit we are omnivores, albeit fruit-leaning omnivores, and then immediately condemn all meat consumption, implying not even a slight amount of meat should be consumed despite our omnivorous nature.

>>513309412
>Quit being dramatic. Focus on the exportation of our jobs and the millions of illegals that the left lets in every time they’re in control.
Without a car, most jobs are unobtainable. Even temp agencies will typically not consider hiring someone who has no car. I've seen it before, about 15 years ago. They say people who depend on buses are unreliable and miss work too often, so they aren't worth hiring because they damage the temp agency's reputation.

>>513310790
I condemn all meat eating for spiritual purposes
But as I stated in the post, I suggest REDUCED meat consumption
For practical health purposes and also because meat is generally more expensive than vegetarian foods

I'm saying that almost always, that $15,000 car with 150,000 miles cannot be financed because it is more than 12 years old.

>what the fuck do you expect us to do Mr. Holier than thou?
At least acknowledge that most people are sinking and life is rapidly becoming unaffordable for them. At least that can begin a conversation on the topic.
You were actively ignoring even that.

>>513311066
people know that dude we have eyes. You are another slacktivist making this thread thinking you are doing something when in reality you hope someone else does something. In theory there is nothing wrong with this but the issue is you are acting holier than thou over your inactions. I bet you are a NEET too

>>513310452
>All of this to help trump give a tax break to the wealthy... Oh well. Do some OT in the wagie cage I guess. At least no tax on that, well until that middle class tax break expires in 2028. Wealthy keep their tax cuts... of course.
Only half of a person's work hours that exceed 40 per year are exempt from federal taxes under the new law. The other half of one's overtime is still taxes.
So that promise, to end federal income taxes on overtime, was half fulfilled.

>>513311262
I'm actually not a NEET, I work, and I have a large inheritance coming, though for now I am somewhere in the middle class.
And I am not at all acting "holier than thou." I'm just bringing up a societal issue using matter of fact language, not preachy language.
I guess you just don't want the issue discussed for whatever reason, since you read into my words offensive things that aren't there.
Yes, action is needed, and I have no doubt is inevitable. Some kind of protest movement or rebellion will occur like a natural reaction to a previous action. I think societies function, ultimately, like machines or organisms (very complex machines).
A reaction is inevitable and, just as inevitably, so too is a reaction, by the state and elites and the affluent in general, who remain beneficiaries of the system, against that reaction.
Which side will eventually win depends on which sides fights harder and longer, which will depend on which side is more desperate and motivated.
But the situation is deteriorating fast and some kind of unrest is on the horizon, and this time it probably won't be racially oriented unrest, since people have grown tired of race and gender politics, though of course anti-populist elements will attempt to steer the first signs of unrest into racialist channels that discombobulate and confuse the people who are rebelling.
It won't take long for the coming unrest to fall clearly along lines of status or class, since this is where the divide ultimately lies and decades of racialist and gendered political deflection have run their course.

>I have a large inheritance
There it is. The trust fund loser is acting holier than thou to us the actual working class attacking us for doing nothing as he himself does nothing but talk. You can't make this shit up

>>513312072
That's utterly false. I grew up very poor, even in homeless shelters and foster homes at times. I only have the inheritance from a wealthy family friend who wants me to take over her estate. I only learned that I am in line for this in the past two years, and I am in my upper 40s.
I have worked since my teenage years in blue collar jobs, mainly warehousing and then in mining (yes, even underground coal mining in Pennsylvania and West Virginia).
You are just desperate to invalidate what am saying by using ad hominem attacks. What I have written here must bother you for some reason, given your reactions.
You keep using the phrase "holier than thou" when nothing I have said is remotely preachy in tone, just dry and factual and analytical in tone. That indicates something, but I am not sure what. Probably self-righteousness on your part, as though you recoil when someone implies your way of thinking or looking at the world might be off or incorrect.
And I doubt you have worked harder or suffered more than I have in my life. It's possible, of course, but only a small percentage of Americans have.
Ramble all you like. That is your right.

>>513309214
An adult human male needs 100+ grams of protein a day to maintain their body mass without wasting. This is impossible to pull off without animal protein, and meat in particular, unless you opt for extremely processed foods that are not available in our natural environment or eat a shitton of carbs (eg legumes contain protein but are mostly carbs). Also, fruits are carbs you stupid shitskin.

Humans are designed to eat cooked meat. Pajeets are not human.

>>513310594
This. I have an 07 toyota and when I went to the dealer for a recall they put a huge packet of information in the car begging me to sell it to them. Fuck that, it's the last good Toyota made with a 1ZZ-FE, no hybrid bullshit, no transponder keyfob bullshit, no 15-speed glass transmission, no touchscreens to fuck up, simple reliable wiring harness.

Just enough electronics to make things better (e-throttle makes cruise control much more reliable than cable setups and increases efficiency and works with transmissions to smooth out shifts), not enough to shit things up every time the wind blows.

I'm gonna drive that thing until it falls apart
