Biden / Harris Focused Discussion

I said repairs. Oil changes and tires are shared by both new and old vehicles, and they also are about the only maintenance items I pay to have done.

I guess anything can be made to seem cheap if you lie and exclude portions of the cost just because.

Christ and Allah, lol.

[Kellhound]

Which then immediately circles back to the question of what the point in owning an automobile even is if the only cost effective way to own one is buying the lowest possible quality and then never using it anyway, lol.

Cost effect is a subjective notion, as the benefit is subjective.

We've already seen your version of "subjective" includes omitting facts, so... Hard pass on that level of cringe.

[Kellhound]

Buying a house in the country is also much worse due to poor economic opportunities.

There's a reason rural towns are being deserted and cities keep growing. No amount of saltiness from your part will change that.

I have a 45 mile drive to work (most of it outside any city limits), which is similar in actual commute time to living in the city.

So add another $200 in tires and oil a year. i spend more on coffee a year....

45 miles of pollution... 45 fucking miles?

That's a fucking ridiculous trip to work.

Everyone determines to what level they will account for any fact in their subjective conclusion. Even you.

45 mile commute in a $500, 2014 car of unknown quality 5 - 6 times a week and you only average $100 in repairs a year?

Again, bullshit. Cars are now mostly computer based and those are expensive parts.

No, actually, most of us don't consider to what degree we're going to try and distort the truth prior to having an opinion. Are you quite sure your mental health improved after leaving the city?

Can't believe Fred Flinstone was a liberal beta cuck with this greenie stuff. /s

No, spending an hour plus in traffic or on transit to go 10 miles is ridiculous. I could move closer to metro Portland, but then I would decrease my practical job opportunities.

Oh I am sure you don't consider your biases when you make your decisions. And yes, I am QUITE sure my mental health improved.

Those shoe repairs can get up there.

Who said it was a 2014? Its a 1995. That is one reason it is cheap and easy to repair.

Republicans Struggle to Derail Increasingly Popular Stimulus Package

Title says it all. Fucking dipshit traitorous Republicans trying to stop legislation that would help everyone in literally every state. Few takeaway gems:

Republican leaders, searching for a way to derail the proposal, Friday led a final attempt to tarnish the package, labeling it a “payoff to progressives". The bill, they said, spends too much and includes a liberal wish list of programs like aid to state and local governments — which they call a “blue state bailout,” though many states facing shortfalls are controlled by Republicans

Great retort from Pelosi, summing up the last 25 years of the GOP:

Pelosi’s office issued its own rebuttal soon after, declaring “Americans need help. House Republicans don’t care.”

[Kellhound]

maybe I was wrong about the trailer trash, maybe he just lives in the car. probably drives into city library parking spot to steal wifi.

I live in a 2600sqft house with 1gig fiber internet.

She's right. Even the "got mine" mid class are suffering, and they still rather fuck over themselves. Can't fix the stupid that is the GoP.

Well, when you say shit like:

You may not care, but you are not everyone.

I can buy a large house with a yard outside the city core for less than I can rent a 2 bedroom apartment in the city. Cost of a vehicle? I commute in a $500 car I bought 7 years ago.

One assumes a 2014.

Now you're saying it's a 1995 with only $100 in repairs? No. Just stop it.

[Kaleredar]

Maybe this thread should be less about the logistics of suburban housing as started by some offhand comment about... I guess maybe saying democrats were going to drive up the prices of vehicles, or... something... and more about... oh, I don't know? Biden and or Harris and their tenure in office?

[Breccia]

Great retort from Pelosi

I also like the Biden comment, roughly "If you Republicans say you don't like it, say out loud, in public, what part you want removed. Go ahead."

And then Pelosi walked away from an explosion.

Something, something, Lee Atwater, something, something, LBJ, something, something.
