But all conventional wisdom holds that new cars are a waste of money because you're paying an extra 20% for the pleasure of driving it off the lot once and then it's just a used car.
Go with the dealer model, it's got that 20% discount but extremely low mileage.

Edit: If you gave me a stick of butter and told me to rub it anywhere I wanted on a hot naked guy, I'd rub it on his lips (because I want smooches, duh). If you gave me a stick of butter and told me to rub it anywhere I wanted on a hot naked gal, I'd run the other way, or eat the butter. Don't get me started on what I'd do with a slab of bacon.
Now I'm imagining research studies with people anxiously staring at butter and figuring out what to do with it.

I'm sure she was already a Sharia agitator at the ripe old age of 13!

Turns out the 500 people are mostly fleeing from a bunch of gunmen outside the park. They'd probably be willing to buy a ticket but there's no legal mechanism allowing them do so. Also the park quite happily has them picking up trash and cleaning up poo poo, paying them less than minimum wage, denying local teenagers the crappy job opportunities, but park management never seems to get in legal trouble for this despite the revolving door of "rollercoaster riders." They don't actually ride the rollercoasters, but someone in line saw a brown person in front of them (who probably bought a FastPass) and started the rumor.

But yeah, it's a shame. So the US government has actually started just holding them in cages off in a corner. Sorry, what was your analogy again?

Like... how would Republicans being in power make his workers more punctual? Does he think that Trump has the magical ability to force people to work through his sheer force of will? Does he think that Democrats taking the House last year means that everyone is just lazy now? Aaaagh :psypop:
There are literally dozens of people who want to work for $7 an hour and no benefits, but their principles are too strong to allow them to work for a living wage. They won't return his calls from a sense of belief in the free market.

I see this stuff. And I ask them.

Where was this sentiment when you were calling Obama the antichrist?
Hell, remember how much poo poo they gave his pastor, Rev. Wright? Not even enough to be a Christian. Pretty sure Rev. Wright isn't even that fond of LGBT folks or abortion either. Can't imagine what might have set him apart...

I had a nice long conversation with a freemason when I was thinking of renting their hall for socialism and he was cool. As far as I can tell freemasons are a dining club that do good old boy things like get each other jobs and apartments.
Yeah, they're basically like, "Our political days our behind us, now we raise money for charity and eat too much cake, also we meet once a month to engage in 18th century rituals then we go back to eating cake." They're having a tough time attracting younger men to join.

I've at least gotten my mother-in-law to the point that she'll stop a caller and say, "Hey, I'm going to bring my son-in-law, and if he says your pitch is legit then I'll give you my money." So far I've saved her from student loan scams, people posing as the IRS and Social Security, fraudulent police charities, and car warranty bullshit. And it's extra fun hearing the people on the phone get angry or upset that they've lost a customer.
