  • Maverick.

    According to the American consumer, they are affordable, or else they wouldn’t be the most popular new car.

    Also, you were the one that brought up affordability.

    I drive a 90s volvo and you can pry it from my cold dead hands. I have no intention of buying a new vehicle any time soon. It has nothing to do with me being out of touch and everything to do with statistics concerning vehicle sales.




  • People can’t afford Ford anymore

    Reality, in which the ford f series is the most sold vehicle for the past 42 years

    Pick one

    Ford is moving its prices upwards because people want and pay for what they’re offering, very clearly given the statistics we have. Also to say that tesla is the brand regular people can afford when both brands have ev trucks and one has a starting msrp almost 30k more than the other is kinda hilarious.

    Lastly, ford has a vehicle with an msrp of 23,920 while the lowest priced tesla vehicle is 38,890 dollars. Even taking gas savings over 5 years into account, ($4,223 if you happen to live near my area and drive about 10k miles per year) the tesla is significantly more expensive. Clearly, tesla is not the company concerned with the common man. To make that point even more clear though, one needs only to compare tesla to the Korean and Chinese EVs that are being offered at significantly lower prices.








  • This is his most unpopular position? Maybe to far leftists, but the article you linked relating to 2024 numbers says this:

    Twice as many adults under 30 as those 65 and older think the US must stop supporting Israel’s war in Gaza (23% vs. 11%).

    Twice as many adults 65 and older as those under 30 think the US must support Israel’s war unconditionally (26% vs. 13%).

    Now I’m not saying that 23% of the population is insignificant, but that’s not 23% of the overall population, but only the sub 30 population, the population most likely to support Gaza over Israel in the first place. Based on the data, the overwhelming majority of people (77-89% depending on demographic) don’t give a shit if Biden supports Israel, and a good portion of those thinks that not only should Biden support Israel, but he should so so unconditionally.

    Now I’m not making an statements about who’s right or wrong insofar as policy is concerned with the Israeli genocide, but what I’m saying is that the vast majority of people outside of your echo chamber (sadly) do not give a shit, even if they should.
