Big Blitz Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Time to start documenting - I hope in a few months I'll be posting significant declines. But with this absolutely insane shift from "We really f...ed up covid and oh sorry the economy may really be fast tracked to disaster now" to "Russia Russia Russia cancel anyone that even watches Anastasia," something ain't right so I'm skeptical and concerned. Beyond concerned. They create crisis when they need you distracted. I hope we avoid all of it but we are either led by very stupid evil people or we're compromised by the only country on earth safe and protected from any criticism. And no one literally no one in your government is talking about it and how to fix it. Just go buy an EV. That's not concerning? That doesn't tell you anything? In fact the buck stops with Brandon is now lashing out at you for even to dare blame him. This is insane. Gas: $48 on a car that had a 1/4 tank left Target: Literally 9 items - soap, a few things for dinner (sausage peppers potatoes), a bag of M&Ms, Lemon juice, and almost milk. $50 Not sustainable. And nothing more eye opening for people then to hear directly what everything is starting to cost. Edited March 14, 2022 by Big Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's something we definitely agree on! Some good news, the 2 year deal that Trump signed in April 2020 to lower OPEC oil production by 6 million barrels per day ends in a few weeks. Let's see if Boris can get the Saudis to ramp up production early, he's meeting with them this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have one and I took it over for routine stuff the other day. The lot was empty and had 5 cars on it, probably all just waiting for pickup. None in the showroom. It's crazy. The Toyotas have been amazing for reliability but man do they bore the ***** out of me for driving. Can't they make one car that is interesting?

They’re core competency is reliability. Yeah that's the truth. We have one left. Good RAV4 Hybrid. Most boring car on planet earth short of a Camry. A solid car for my 20 year old. No fun but reliable and good MPGs (40). I just got a diesel Wrangler where I'm hoping its fun offsets its terrible reliability. Wife has the Chevy Bolt that we got for a song with the fed rebate, Costco membership, and dealer deal during Covid. That car can't corner for crap and the interior is boring but it is fun to push the go pedal on an EV car, even a Chevy. My wife called the dealer the other day asking for a 15,000 mile service and they had to talk her out of it. "Ma'am, there's truly nothing to do."

The ordering/production line. Yes, I know you can online order and avoid the challenge with the expectation that only one of the four or five orders will be wrong, but our family is all about tailoring their particular order. Anyways, show up, wait in line. I’m cool with that because I recognize I choose to tailor my order. Lead meal maker is often young with precious few social skills. They are behind a snot screen, masked, speaking quietly to upsize the muffle, and apparently part of a two or three team Swat team system designed to take part, but not all of your order before passing off to team number 2, or 3. I am then required to balance the new order with the in-progress order, jumping back and forth between “That was HOT and corn salsa!” and “Please, I asked for fajita veggies, put some $&@&&ing fajita veggies on the damn thing!”. By the end, I’m reminding team member 2, or 3, it was 4 Chips and Guacamole, not 5, and one Chip and Queso, all while using my card to pay and telling them I’m still waiting on my cup for soda. I hate it, I really do. If Biden issued an executive order to fix that process of suck and pain, I’d probably campaign for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
