I see you have an auto loan, would you like to accrue even more substantial debt in the name of conspicuous spending?

if they're already rich and retired then why would they give a gently caress about moving somewhere with a lower income tax

Because gently caress you got mine, that's why.

They're probably trying to minimize their contribution to the place that allowed them to proliferate now that all their income is passive and not geographically restricted. Frankly I'm surprised they didn't peace out to another country that just doesn't tax non citizen residents.

There are definitely good sides to those delivery services but under capitalism it seems like it'll just end up as a kind of high tech servant system where more and more people's jobs are just making the lives of the wealthy more comfortable and convenient.

I thought these services were mainly in place to make middle income people feel like they're wealthy to prevent them from revolting against actually wealthy people.

We bought a car (new) recently and it wasn't nearly as painful as most of these descriptions. Tried to get as best of an impression of the invoice price, asked for quotes on in stock inventory from places with a note that they had one shot to give me their best offer including all details of our the door price. Some folks never have me anything less than MSRP, others got back a decent number of reasonable responses.

I had a couple of dipshits try to tell me they could get me a better deal if I come in, and I told them if they can't promise it in writing then I am not bothering to go in. One guy told me he could have done $500 better than the deal I got if I'd worked with him, and I simply let him know he'd have gotten the business if he'd been paying attention to my original request.

Being within 20 miles of like 10 of the same manufacturer dealerships, COVID, and end of the year I think got me a lot more leeway than others might normally get though.
