I called it a meme stock because it's dying but people still randomly mention that they want to buy it, or have apparently risked amounts equal to their annual income on it. I don't know much about the company beyond that they lose like a hundred grand on every vehicle they sell.

starting a car company from the ground up is insanely difficult, especially if you're doing EVs and Tesla is dominating 99% of the media coverage/conversation/etc. around that product. im surprised theyve survived this long after the end of ZIRP frankly

it also drives me a bit nuts to see a company do EVs, a nominally environmentally-friendly product, and then poo poo out some big honking SUV that is probably roughly as environmentally destructive as a humble compact gas car. but that's just America I guess, probably no way you can compete with Toyota etc. on actually efficient/useful vehicles

Also Toyota is ignoring their history of being somewhat responsible to pump out giant turds because that's what the American auto industry has told customers they want and that's what the American auto industry has paid the legislature to encourage, so that's what we get. That's really infuriating. Companies that know better and can do better are adapting to our lovely market because they have to.

There's debates here about whether low 6 figs is a livable salary so I know I'm not even tickling the balls of leftist goon wealth by having low 5 figs saved as a rainy day fund.

I imagine if you can save 10% of your salary you're doing better than half of the "middle" class.

Sure, just remember that this is in the same category as rules saying that a median American household is currently nowhere near being able to "responsibly" afford the median American car or median American home. Like, ever.

These kinds of Dave Ramsey-esque financial rules of thumb have always been intentionally designed to be on the very edge of being technically achievable but practically unlikely for average families. They sit in that sweet spot where poor people can say "maybe I can do it!" and rich people can say "those dumb poors can do it if they just try harder!" But we're so far through the looking glass now that they're just completely nonsensical for anything like a median household.
