  1. Its not just the car payment. My auto insurance went from $961 to cover 3 cars for 6 months to $2,200. No accidents, no claims, no speeding tickets.

  2. Funny that during the last economic downturn, officials NEVER ADMITTED high unemployment until AFTER the economy had recovered years later. I suspect they are doing the same now by claiming that it's ,3.8% nationwide and 5%, in California. Whatever they claim, multiply it by 2 or 3 times and that is closer to the truth. So nationwide, unemployment is really 12% And in California, it's really 15 to 20%.

  3. If he uses government data then of course it shows that inflation is going down. Somebody paid him to spew that lie.

  4. Who the heck is stupid enough to believe that interest rates will go down to 5.5%? Inflation is astronomically high so the Feds have NO CHOICE but to raise interest rates AND KEEP IT there until inflation goes down. Either that or riots will be everywhere. Violence everywhere already began but would be worse if inflation is not kept under control. It may not even be possible at this point. Don't be surprised when you see riots stepping up even more as the days pass.

  5. I trust my own logic. Unlike most people today, I use my brain and connect the dots instead of just accept what I see / hear.

  6. Signs of collapse of the Western Empire, which has been in charge of the world for 400 years.

  9. There is no easy way for the Feds to fix this without collapsing our entire economy. If they lower interest rates, then inflation will rise further. If they raise interest rates to control inflation, then nobody could afford to buy a house. Ever since they moved all manufacturing jobs overseas beginning in 1990, they kept pulling rabbits out of a hat to prop up our economy. And everytime they do that, they dig a hole deeper and deeper. Now they ran out of rabbits to pull out of a hat and the only way out is a total crash so that the economy could reset. Just like the Great Drepression of the 1930's. And guess how they solved that and how long it took? It took WWII and 16 years to pull us out of the Great Depression!

  11. And oh BTW, this just in: The new Tesla Model Y Juniper was just released in China not even in the US yet, but it already has 50,000 orders in one day! The Model Y is THE MOST SOLD cars (including gas cars) in 2023 at 1.2 million units worldwide. The only people who hate Tesla's are the ones who've never driven one because it's not in their budget range (or they are too cheap to spend that much). And ones who got smoked by a Tesla on the road. It is simply ILLOGICAL not to choose a Tesla if you are in a market for a comparably priced car.

  12. @chapman1569  True that EV's cost higher than a comparable gas cars INITIALLY. Concerning the battery, recent REAL-WORLD data showed that an EV battery lasts at least 400,000 miles. How many gas cars last that long? Because EV's lasts many times longer than a gas car, you can keep an EV longer thereby in the long run, it costs you less. In my case, I bought my Tesla Model X in 2016 for $100k. I pay for no gas in 8 years and saved $50k. So in reality, my Tesla only costs me $50k (that's the average price of a car today!) And I intend to drive it for another 10 years, which saves me even more money.

  13. @freddyhollingsworth5945  Not a Tesla! Hybrids don't count! No gas car can last much longer than 200,000 miles, much less than 477,000 miles. Don't lie!

  14. Yet, Americans get offended when someone says the US is a nation of greedy liars. Our system rewards liars so why wouldn't people lie?!?

  16. So, if you don't rent and you don't buy, where do you live, in the streets?

  17. Sorry, I disagree with you on EVs being more prone to catch on fire than gas cars. Name me one gas car - just ONE in the last 100 years - that went over a 250 foot cliff and ALL 4 occupants walked away. A Tesla Model Y did exactly that in January 2023. It didn't even catch on fire. Fact ( look it up): 100% EV cars are LEAST likely to catch fire followed by hybrids then gas cars. Look up NTSB statistics, not emotionally laden opinions.

  19.  @Xlargenoob  ALL of our problems today have their roots in the massive moving of our manufacturing plants overseas beginning in the early 1990's (remember the push for Globalization - that's what it was all about, not to "bring people together." That was just to con the public into adopting it) Ever since then, our economy went down. So to stop it from collapsing then, the Feds "stimulated" the economy by lowering interest rates. That created the Dotcom bubble (remember?) to give the illusion that the economy was booming....until that bubble popped. To fix that, they lowered interest rates again and created the housing bubble, which collapsed in 2008. To prop that up, they allowed foreign investors to buy up homes in the US, which stimulated our economy (people bought furniture, appliances, etc to go with their new homes) Then the FEDS cut rates again and by then, ordinary Americans jumped in the housing market and began flipping. That brings us to where we are today - unaffordable homes for local Americans with local salaries. So, this is not a partisan issue. It spanned 30 years under how many presidents both Democrat and Republican?

  20.  @Xlargenoob  This economic problem went back 30 years. I posted an explanation of why but it got deleted.

  21. People fell for Biden's promise of student loan forgiveness. He said that and only did it for a few people to get votes from everyone. But most loans will not be forgiven!

  24. The thing about lies is that it just delays the bad news while the bad news grows bigger until it blows up more devastatingly than it would have.
