    Funny, but let’s not pretend this is solely a conservative issue.

    People want to own nice shit with modern amenities that’s newer so they dont have to mess with it and i don’t blame them. That’s absolutely reasonable. It’s just crazy expensive and many loans are predatory.

        And people deserve lots of things whether or not the market values them highly.

          People deserve nice, newer cars with modern amenities even if they can’t afford it? Yeah, you’re correct: that does seem to be the mindset of the people I know with nice, new cars that cost more each month than their rent. Not sure I agree with the idea that they “deserve” them. But, then, I’m not sure anyone “needs” or “deserves” new cars just because they want “nice shit.” Very modern capitalist of you though.

              Sure thing, champ. You seem confused about the difference between capitalist critique and underwriting unnecessary consumerism.

              Regardless, you don’t seem worth the time, so I’ll save us both effort and block you. Feel free to respond, but I won’t see it.
