one of my favorite new auto biz takes
C4C lasted one month in 2009 and resulted in the destruction of ~675k vehicles
there are almost 300 million vehicles registered in the US, something like a quarter of those are 20+ years old
C4C long-term did almost nothing to used supply
there is an entire segment of AWD SUVs with starting MSRPs at or below $25k, before any incentives
they’re called entry-level SUVs, or subcompact SUVs
tens of thousands of them are sold every month in the US
you can just buy one
there are approximately one billion profitable Christian businesses in Williamson County. there are untold hundreds of people here making high six/low seven figure incomes managing gospel artists you’ve never heard of or publishing books about growing your wealth using the Bible
many who are not from here/have never visited will not understand, but if you are a small business tyrant in CA/IL/NY who also happens to have had your brain melted by Facebook and/or evangelism in the last decade, you inevitably move to Williamson County
it helps that seemingly half of celebrities you can name now also have homes here, but the true growth driver is actually insane people with lots of money moving to both escape federal income taxes and join megachurches mostly attended by other maniacs in their tax bracket
finding one of these guys in the pocket of a coat you haven’t worn in years feels like catching a glimpse of a former lover in a crowd, or driving past your old apartment… bittersweet, beautiful

dropping a mature groundhog a few feet onto the ground would certainly not kill or even injure the groundhog. anyone who thinks otherwise is not a gardener & does not know the first thing about the obduracy, rapacity, & sheer animal cunning of a groundhog.
