WASHINGTON — President Biden is expected to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency this week that will mark the first step toward regulating how digital currency is traded.

The move comes as administration officials have raised concerns in recent weeks about Russia’s use of cryptocurrency to evade the impact of crushing sanctions in response to its invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions have sent the ruble to historic lows and have closed the country’s stock market.

You can't regulate crypto. All I have to do is meet up with somebody in the Kohl's parking lot and trade with them directly.

It owns that there aren't little trucks any more because the fuel efficiency laws are written to incentivize enormous trucks, probably because the government is a scam run by rich pedos

I just want a small older truck to have an easier time hauling things but the options are either "pay out the rear end for a tacoma" or "Ford ranger" which is a no no because i want something actually reliable

My friends first vehicle was his dads tiny Toyota pickup that was older then we were. It didn't have AC and the front was dented where his dad mowed down some dogs in the fog. It was so small and light we almost drove it off a canal bank because it couldn't get any traction in the mud and just slid around. The football team would prank him by picking it up and moving it around tje school parking lot

I got a basic 2010 taco with 170ish thousand on it. It’s a reliable little truck that I got a lot if use out of but I’m probably gonna sell it. Don’t think I’ll need it anymore

have you ever tried doing the home depot rental?
I looked into it a while back and it's $20 for 75 minutes plus you have to pay a $150 deposit.
I was trying to get some sheets of wood to my house and I opted just to get it delivered from Home Depot because when all is said and done I would be paying about the same amount and I wouldn't have to dink around with a home depot truck on a time limit.

It's got an engine displacement about the size of my balls but it's so fuckin small it doesn't matter. Plus it's basically a box on an axle so it really maximizes carrying capacity

People are insane about cars, in part because they've been programmed by a century of advertising to believe that their car is not a disposable utility and is actually a mobile billboard advertising their worth to the world.

When I moved to LA for a new job I had to buy a car. It was the first car I owned in like 15 years, since the poo poo heap early 70s Chevy from high school. I got a Corolla because gently caress if I want to have something break down on the side of an LA highway. Guy I worked with, who owned like a convertible Benz and lived in Manhattan Beach, asked me to my face whether the car "suited my station" I nearly punched him in the goddamned mouth. I never stopped poo poo talking him until I left that job a few years later. Also while there I had a student offer to sell me her used car--a loving Porche Boxer. Mind, she offered a very fair price, but wtf is it with people (yes, LA but its not just there) and their status bullshit expressed through a simple means of transportation?
