JFC… 😔
Vancouver, BC in Canada did the same, though they actually fully banned foreign property purchasing. I’m guessing it’s low hanging fruit that won’t get much pushback within the country. Hopefully these are just first steps, in both cases.
Really wish fucking anything were being done in the US.
To put a finer point on it: The average car buyer who has $0 down is not buying a $43,000+ car.
Buying old will always be cheaper, I’m not trying to argue against that. But the numbers you listed are going to depend on where you live. Registration will happen every year, whether you buy new or old, but buying an older car will save some money on those registrations. I’m really just trying to say that the same point can be made, but with reasonable and accurate numbers that the average consumer can relate to.
Why is no one calling bullshit on these numbers? 10%/mo of 100k/yr = $833 a month. That is a HUGE monthly loan repayment. That’s a $43,000 vehicle with nothing as a down payment. You can get a new car for less than half that. (And then on the next round you can trade in or sell your old one for more down payment.) Even if you figure that’s 100k pre-tax, you should still be left with roughly 70-80% of that, which is more than plenty for a basic new car.
I’m not arguing that inflation has been ridiculous, because it absolutely has. The bottom 90% of folks are getting fucked. But let’s use real numbers.
Against the Storm. I can pick it up whenever I have a free minute, and pause it or save and quit when I need to be doing something else. It’s just enough of a challenge to be immersive when I’m playing, but the stakes are low enough that it’s not stressful. And the music/ambient noise is lovely.
Stitcher died?? I hadn’t even heard that news.
My feed is full of weather, and I ♥️ it.
Yeah. Some microbes you can’t live without. Some microbes, you can’t live with.
Beautiful. Perfection. Dying of giggles.
Whoa, thank you! I can’t select text in the Liftoff app, but this one weird trick works.
Sounds like I need to look at this Fish place instead.
Our World in Data has a decent article about it: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local
I got it today and am also loving it! It’s so chill, even when three if your villagers get killed by an evil totem. 😂
For me it was cache and storage. Just cache didn’t work. (Using Liftoff)
To be counted as active, you have to have commented or at least liked a post/comment, IIRC. So if you’re hopping around from one login to another within 24 hours and actively engaging on them then yes, you’d be counted more than once in these stats. If you’re just lurking, no.
They’re not here yet. I’m actually not sure they’re on Mastodon yet, either. They delayed federation implementation.
IDK, do you have something interesting to share?
For my generation, it was mostly TV. Same for Xers and Boomers, though they were also allowed to roam with no adult supervision. The habit of neglecting children is ingrained in our society, and computers are just the newest method.
