A new car is the largest purchase most of us make that actually goes down in value and it goes down in value "like a rock." That's where Chevy got the line!
Let's put the numbers in perspective. If you buy a brand-new $28,000 car, it's going to be worth $8,400 in four years. That means you're losing $408 every month in depreciation. If you think you can afford that hit, then try this: once a week on your drive to work, roll down the window and throw a hundred-dollar bill out. Can you afford that? I don't think so.
There is no such thing as a good deal on a new car. The instant you drive it off the lot, you are immediately losing money, and you can't drive that car fast enough to catch up.
Is it ever okay to buy a brand-new car? Sure, when you have a million dollars in the bank and can actually afford the financial hit of throwing tens of thousands of dollars away just for fun.
Until then, do what most millionaires do: buy slightly used and pay with cash.
Ron DeSantis’ administration has approved “Prager University” videos to teach kids about slavery. Prager U is a fake, unaccredited far-right organization.
One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal.”

Donald Trump on:
-Chinese dictator Xi: "Smart, brilliant, everything perfect."
-Russian dictator Putin: "Very savvy.” "Genius"
-NK Dictator Kim Jong Un: "Chairman Kim has a great and beautiful vision for his country."
- The authoritarian leader of Turkey, Erdogan: "Congratulations to President Erdogan on his big and well-deserved victory in Turkey. I know him well, he is a friend."
-Saudi Arabia strongman MBS: "A friend of mine" "You’ve done, really, a spectacular job.”
Trump loves dictators because he wants to be one.
How can any freedom-loving American support Donald Trump?
BREAKING: Saudi Owned LIV Golf will have another event at Donald Trump’s National Doral Golf Club.
Can someone explain to me why people are livid over the son of a president earning money from privately owned companies in China and Romania, but when LIV Golf, which is 93% owned by the GOVERNMENT of Saudi Arabia, via their $650 Billion Public Investment fund, decides to pay the GOP frontrunner money, we get crickets from those on the right?
Serious Question.
@StoltzeFrankly@CHPsouthern@LAFD@LAist Bootlickers gonna bootlick. There should be zero surprise that fascist cops admire their fascist Dear Leader. There are NO good cops until ALL bad cops are exposed and held accountable.

I swear American cops have to be some of the dimmest humans in our nation. How do you not know that Puerto Ricans are American citizens? That’s like something you’d learn in grade school.
Here’s the police body cam video showing what happened when a @Hertz worker at the New Orleans airport called police because a Puerto Rican man kept insisting that his drivers license was valid. The Hertz worker denied the man his pre paid rental car because he couldn’t present his passport. The Hertz worker thought Puerto Rico was another country and so she insisted the man needed to show a passport. He didn’t. He is a U.S. citizen as are all Puerto Ricans.
This body cam video was first obtained by @FOX8NOLA.
You can judge for yourself the unidentified @KennerPolice officers demeanor / behavior. Marchand found it to be extremely rude and demeaning.
As for the Hertz worker, she seen on video saying to the customer, Humberto Marchand:
“Because you recorded as you’re not gonna be able to rent from Hertz ever!”
That’s not true. Hertz has already apologized to Mr. Marchand publicly and stated that the employees were wrong and will be retained.
It is clear that neither the officer, nor the Hertz employee, know that Marchand is right: his driver’s license is as valid as any other license issued in any other state. He didn’t need to show a passport to anyone. The officer could’ve provided clarity to the situation based on the fact that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country. He did not or was unaware of that fact.
In my initial report, I stated that Marchand heard the officer say that he would call border authorities. The body cam video does not show that.
As @FOX8NOLA’s @news_fuentes reported, the officer said: “Do not come back up here and cause any more disturbances.”
In the body camera video, Marchand asks, “You’re going to call what? Border services?”

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
It's no wonder the south is so poorly educated /w so many poor struggling communities with angry racist white people. They're taught to believe they're victims. The only thing they're victims of is rich white people taking advantage of their ignorance.
