*Can’t afford to buy a $48K car

There are still sedans out there that can be gotten for a lot less, people have really been over spending on these large SUVs to make the average price $48K. Get a ~$30K sedan instead, you can get a Honda Civic for under $30K or a number of other cars.

Now obviously that’s still out of reach for a ton of people, but it just seems weird to say “can’t afford a new car” and then picking something for $48K.

at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024

I agree that’s a high possibility, either way though I like to respond to posts like that for other potential readers. If OP wants to admit they are wrong, great, but it’s important we counter these kinds of posts with facts so others understand the truth as I agree disinformation is a powerful tool so it needs to be cut off at the knees.

I wouldn’t call pursuing another path to forgive $10K giving up, I mean it’s literally the opposite of giving up.

Biden is doing a ton considering he has had 0 help from Congress who has power of the purse. If you want interest rates adjusted you gotta go through Congress.

It’s half way up a line at the start of the graph, and the end of the graph is at 8 lines tall, so by my math I’d say it looks like 16x vs roughly the actual ~4x improvement.

The graph not starting at 0 makes this a bit deceiving at first glance.

Since when has Facebook had the best content? I mean I could see them getting a large user base and lots of content, but I have never looked at Facebook or Instagram and wished that content was on another platform. So I guess I’m not too worried.
