He bought a car from me cash for his kids and already had four cars. Why he would continue to spend the money to own five cars rather than tell his kids to just go live where their loving jobs were (rents in the city were dirt cheap at the time) is beyond me.

Dude straight up wrote a $11K check to me for a car so his son could keep commuting three hours every day from Elwood City PA to Pittsburgh and back instead of just getting an apartment in town.

If the minimum wage goes up a little your fat prick uncle can only eat out four days a week instead of five and that's unacceptable.

Mr. Nice! posted:they do, though. this is something that many states do, and i figure if there was a simple commerce clause argument, ford, fca, gm, and especially tesla would have found a way to get federal law written to do so. you’re really just explaining that there’s no interior logic to the system (which we should all understand by now) it was what, 2007? when the alcohol sales case was finally successful in the supreme court it wouldn’t surprise me at all, even after that, if no established automaker’s bean counters wanted to face the dealer revolt upon offering (say) direct-via-web sales across state lines over the next couple decades only new companies like Tesla were could afford to take on that level of risk, and I bet Tesla was only willing to fight so long as wasn’t more profitable not to

the why is because we have a dumb federalist system of laws where every state is a sovereign who gets to decide on most things with a federal government that is somewhat limited in what they can dictate. the feds can’t force states to expand medicaid even though it costs the state nothing. auto sales is one of those places. they can make sure that there’s no real preference in how the manufacturers send cars to states, but the end user sales inside the state are going to be controlled by the individual state. my whole point was that the federal government can’t make states change their policies on this ground. if they could, tesla would have pushed them to do so. instead they lobby states to change and set up dealerships in the ones the have to in the meantime.
