It cannot be overstated how important fathers are in the household. MANY of these societal issues we see and read about, IMO, can be traced back to to fatherless households, a majority of the time.
It's a chicken and the egg scenario. Excess labor depresses wages, while people spend on what they don't need, creating a situation where more is consumed thus more is needed.
. We were talking about how expensive vehicles have gotten. He said something along the lines of “when I was raising you I was fine with my rusty V6 Chevy van and me and your mom built the house on a shoestring with your grandpa doing the electric and me doing the hvac myself, you drive a 400 horsepower V8 supercomputer on wheels that can do a burnout at any time, it costs a lot more to run that than a V6 Chevy van, but you are welcome to go buy a Carolla” and it sort of put that into perspective. I suppose GM and Ford have spoiled me the last few years with their 400+ horsepower tire shredding V8’s that I’ve come accustomed to growing up with in my middle and high school years. I’ll never forget when Ford dropped the 6.2L in the Raptor, EVERYONE my age strived to own that motor in 2011. You can still buy a regular cab V6 F-150 for 30 grand I guess. We all just want more more more.
Having bought my first used vehicle I can agree with that. I have always bought new in past but probably next time around I'll get another low-ish miles one or two year old.
Once they get the SSN error patched out, there should be some pretty decent deals on low-mileage used PB's with "manufacturer buyback" attached to their VIN.
I would assume that has to cut significantly into the value even if it is all repaired/recertified.
Agreed 110%...problem today, is defining what a woman and a father is.......
