That's actually an accurate statement. I mean sleep is over rated.
Well, Toyota is in the business of making money. They will sell what the market will bear.
They could easily sell a strippie PU, but why should they?
Interesting... I just saw that Toyota is bringing back a smaller truck (smaller than the Tacoma at least), probably next year. It's going to cost way more than $15k, though.

Well yeah, with that attitude they'll for sure never own a house. I'm not saying get a second job, but perhaps they should consider relocating somewhere more affordable if they truly won't ever be able to buy where they are. I'm going to very safety assume though, based on my observations, that in the majority of cases it's not an income problem but a spending problem potentially combined with an unrealistic idea of what a first home "must" be. I never hear anyone talking about "buying a starter home" which is how most people enter the housing market.
Any place any body wants to live is expensive. Expensive houses generally correlate to the job markets. It's like this-many of us can't relate to the current situation-and your post proves it. Don't mean that in a disrespectful manner. The truth is most of issue on his board are in a far different place than the generations coming up-the difference is that I realize it.
Talk about challenges facing them......
If on average auto braking save 2 fender bender over 20 years, it probably save the extra cost from insurance claim already. Which indirectly save the car owners that much on average over 20 years.
Paint job and bondo hours aren't cheap.
I agree we shouldn't import anything that doesn't meet our standards - which just went down.
It's not going to be too hard for anybody in the business to make a car that will be within US standards with CARB killed off and regulatory loosened.
Likewise we should expect countries with tighter than the new US standards to completely close off US product for import as simply being non compliant on their end.
If you have stop and go traffic in a traffic jam, ten cars, five of which have auto braking, those cars are going to stop statistically better and get rear ended by cars without auto-braking. So the insurance will go up on those guys because they're automatically at fault. So it's an arms race.
Most of the federal budget goes to seniors - Medicare, social security being biggest. Seniors hold the vast majority of all wealth. So they definitely deserve a tax break.
The positive news is the U.S. dollar will fail faster so we can get on with it.
Not directed at you. Take any break there stupid enough to give.
You know why they called the bill BBB? Because that will be our credit rating shortly

My post had nothing to do with meeting standards whatsoever.
Is this the part when boomer guy gets to tell you how much taxes I’ve paid in my lifetime?Most of the federal budget goes to seniors - Medicare, social security being biggest. Seniors hold the vast majority of all wealth. So they definitely deserve a tax break.

All kidding aside and you should know. Have a real decent paying job and run two small businesses. I paid out my ass. Self employed tax is one of the double gougers inherent in the code.
We still pay but a little less. Maybe
This is the part where guys that screamed about certain subsidies, breaks or accommodations, are def mute on other subsidies, breaks or accommodations.
Possibly all true but the fact remains that the entire time we went from virtually no national debt to insurmountable national debt, the largest voting block is now the ones with all the money and wealth. But they now get an additional tax break for being old.
Just pointing it out. I had no illusion it wouldn’t be a popular fact around here. True nonetheless.
Another problem with a nationalized support program. Collected as a tax forked out give or take then taxed again.
Wait until you retire!
Doubtful I will ever be able to afford to.
Personally I think tax on labor is fundamentally wrong. It’s a like - kind profitless exchange and hence should not be taxed at all. Our founders agree.
They also thought big central government was a bad idea yet here we are.

One example of what my post implies: if the US bans coal to generate electricity for domestic manufacturing, we MUST prohibit the importation of all manufactured goods from any nation that uses coal to generate electricity for manufacturing.
