  1. I love music and there's no fucking musician I'd pay 800 bucks to see even if I was a millionaire.

  2. Henry Ford himself might have been a half-decent car designer and quasi-competent semi-professional engineer, what made Henry so remarkable was that without a fat degree from "Harvard" (or whatever) was he was a MASTER capitalist. You don't become massively successful by fucking everyone as hard as possible to make a profit. You become massively successful by ENABLING everyone. You ENABLE them to better themselves by obeying the rules and not fucking anyone over: Your own willingness to WORK is what EARNED you a better life, not "being powerful" so you can get away with screwing people. That's why Henry Ford was so remarkable, because he understood how capitalism REALLY works, and how to make people really work for the greater benefit as well as personal benefit. It had NOTHING to do with cars. In today's world, there's no room for Henry Ford because life is much too expensive now due to the easy availability of loans for consumer shit (credit cards). You cannot live a good life simply through your own hard work. You either inherit big money or you fuck people over, plain and simple. It's our own fault: people can only be conventionally successful (house, car, children, and consumer shit at a reasonably young age) by borrowing money so they can live beyond their means. Now you've screwed yourself. If you earn an honest living and live within your means, you cannot live tolerably nor can you even attract a female unless she's already old.

  3.  @lukazupie7220  YES! We have higher expectations, so they have higher prices because each car is a lot more work to produce now. The part that sucks is you can't really buy a basic well-made durable car. Pushrod 4-cylinder, manual, no trip computer or even a tachometer!, no A/C, no stereo, no airbags, no USB/Bluetooth or phone interface, no backup camera, no plush interior trim, no buttons and screens and crap for power-adjustable trivia. Just a good car that's JUST A GOOD CAR. No such thing exists because even people on welfare wouldn't want to buy it--and they couldn't afford it anyway. So they just use their welfare to deal drugs and buy a used BMW :)

  4.  @donedeal8385  That's because shareholders buy stocks voluntarily, whereas pretty much nobody gets a job and works for a living by choice. Slaves have no rights by definition. That's why unions were invented, but ultimately they just make products and services cost more, defeating the original goal of improving the quality of life.

  5. The last time I ever went to a really big concert was Dire Straits in Montreal back in 1985 when I was 8 years old :) I bet the ticket was maybe 30 or 40 bucks, which at that time was all the money in the world. Now, I doubt that today's world holds any artists of the caliber of Dire Straits, but concert tickets can cost thousands now. What's the point? I love music but music doesn't make me rich.

  6. Henry Ford though everyone should be able to buy one of his normal cars by working at a normal job. If you can't afford an ordinary car by working normally, it's a really shitty car. The world has changed, and a car is only desirable if NOBODY can afford it even by working at a degreed profession. It isn't a good new car unless you're still paying for it by the time it's an old rustbucket. Cars have improved drastically in 100 years, but owning one of these great modern cars has become almost desperately pointless unless you've inherited wealth. And it's STILL just a fucking CAR for crying out loud.
