  1. the graph shows the median used car price at a low of 22k and a high of 31k. That's a bit less than a 40% increase. for easier math, lets say it actually increased more - 50%. if a 5k car appreciated 50% in that period it would be worth 7.5k on the market. 7.2k on 40% appreciation.
  2. " Beaters that people used to be able to buy for $5000 were selling for $10,000" at it's highest, the prices increased 50% in that time period. your example was 100%. So you were off by a factor of 2 even for the very short period of time that was true. It' not my graph. It's from Car gurus
  3. then you should be aware of this graph https://www.cargurus.com/research/price-trends?entityIds=Index&startDate=1609477200000&endDate=1758167999999 plug 1/1/2021 into the program. prices went up in 2021 and stayed there but they nowhere near doubled at any point. your example is bs.
  4. people spending beyond their means is not new. Getting into credit trouble by not being able to keep up with payments is record breaking. This suggests a weakening economy. The mcdonald's CEO is correct that most people with sizable investments in the stock market are earners over $100k. They're good.
  5. bs. people are still buying cars with 7 year loans. if you need a 7 year loan, you can't afford the car. And now they appropriately won't be able to get the credit. Shortages would lead to less loans not more. And what percentage increase on average was there on cars in 2021 and 2022? I doubt 2024-25 models are cheaper than 2022.
  6. He knows his customers and he's worried. only 20% of Americans make $100k or more. This and the credit score slump (lower income people without credit) will lead to decreased demand for goods and services further slowing the economy. Not good at all.
  7. don't worry. He loves you. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-loves-the-poorly-educated-and-social-media-clamors-idUSKCN0VX2DE/
  8. pls explain how that works. asking for a friend...
  9. Good to know Churchill never said this but the first part of this quote is true. 2. Is “If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain” a Churchill quote? “There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this,” says The Churchill Centre. Furthermore, British author and historian Paul Addison of Edinburgh University says: “Surely Churchill can’t have used the words attributed to him. He’d been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?”
  10. Just another maga conm. Where do you find these guys? https://www.vice.com/en/article/worlds-smartest-man-iq-276-younghoon-kim/ Just another maga conman Where do you find these guys? https://www.vice.com/en/article/worlds-smartest-man-iq-276-younghoon-kim/
  11. Then he disagrees with trump. Everyone is eligible. Now the question is, will insurance pay for it. In many cases it won’t which is stupid. I’ll get it regardless.
  12. Well, that’s because smart people don’t like trump. Even he admits that.
