I think I’ve tweeted about this before but I’m always shocked how car dealerships are like designated PvP zones. Literally anything goes short of physical violence. They can lie to your face and you can call them a stupid motherfucker and that’s just business baby
One time my mom was buying a car & the salesman asked if she wanted the extended warranty. She said no & he was like “well I’ll just throw it in anyway.” After she left she found out he charged her for it & he was like “that’s what throw it in means, you throw it into the bill.”

Fair enough. But would you suck every dick in Constantinople to do the same?
YES!! And maybe Mamdani meets up with Wemby at his hotel room to congratulate him on his accomplishments in Leftism and Basketball, and after brainstorming ways to resolve every division in leftism… Well, I can’t spoil the *spicy* end to the RPF I’m writing 🫢

Now obviously thats not the politics I believe in. But the tweet was written from the political terrain of personal responsibility. Demanding all the benefit of scarce, speculative housing and none of the terrifying costs is having your cake and eating it too.
