solution: don't own a car.

>>55831353
I run a car repair shop and this is good news for me.

>>55831356
this

its one of the biggest burdens on the environment. Literally no reason to own any car anymore

lol only poors don't have a car, keep up the cope while you are on public transportation with the homeless pissing in your seats.

They wont allow us to be in a selfadmitted recession until a cuckservative is in office, that way libfags blame him, and then cucks blame Joe Biden reeing about how its actually hus fault blah blah and the central banking slave system will continue on right as rain.

>biden still favored to win
At a certain point you have to just accept americans don't know how anything works and divorce yourself from them, otherwise you will repeatedly experience heartbreak and tragedy stemming from the immense retardation and incompetence of your fellow burger.

>>55831356
Blow your brains out podliving citycuck.

More of a vibecession, if you ask me.

>>55831422
I mean I also suggest giving up cars but for completely different reasons

Get rid of cars, cities, and all the antichrist stuff that came with the industrial revolution. Yes you are part of the problem

give me back my horses and fuck all the asphalt nature rape, ffs

This guy knows history. That’s why I’m riding in Biden.

>>55831353
>HOW FUCKED WE ARE REALLY?

Holy shit the tentacles of LOBLAWS are everywhere!

>>55831358
You think the cost increase is due to the increase in valuation of your labour?
Don't be daft. The money's worth less, and the logistics and manufacture of parts costs more.
Your revenue will increase but so will your overhead - but of course, you'd know this if you really ran a repair shop.

>>55831390
>lol only poors don't have a car, keep up the cope while you are on public transportation with the homeless pissing in your seats.
I'm literally a millionaire and don't own a car but I'm not using public transportation either. I just take a cab everywhere I go.

>>55831445
I've literally seen it happen, anon. The trains that run at 2am shipping the poors home from their weekly night out are the very same trains that take you to work in the morning. Consider that.

>>55831488
And it’s probably actually bad for his business, because now that it’s more expensive to get your car fixed, people will rather drive around a busted shitbox than pay 6 gorrillion dollars to get the repairs done since the demand for car repairs is somewhat elastic.

>>55831433
>jews in this thread ignore the ted lite poster
Typical

>>55831353
no, because corporations are hiking all of their prices to profiteer off all this sentiment. the worry over rampant inflation, supply chain issues, and a recession has given them the excuse to charge more even when their costs are barely going up. the average car insurance quote in the UK has doubled this year for literally no reason.

>>55831356
Or just own a pre 2008 Toyota.

>>55831390

If you think you're rich because you own a car I'm pretty sure you're poor. Also the rest of the world isn't like the US where you need to drive every time you want to buy some groceries.

inflation is a good thing, cool it with the anti luigi remarks

>>55831433
skin is looking great dude, all that outdoors living and it's benefits is clearly showing. see you in the next thread

>>55831390
I live in a third world corner of a third world developing country that requires you to own a car to exist, but also doesn't even have public transportation because that's for commies.

>>55831629
>oy vey goyim the inflation is literally annuda shoah

>>55831358
No you dont.

Youre an apprentice mechanic (which is really the cashier) at MrTire and you think this will translate into a raise.

>>55831353
Everything is ticking back up. Gas is through the roof again and we drained the strategic oil reserves to mask the problem last time. This is going to get really ugly anons. Americans are about to get a dose of what our great grandparents went through during the Great Depression. I’m actually looking forward to it. The government has extracted all the wealth from our money with endless paper printing. Hopefully it does not turn violent but once the people realize what they did it looks to be the only option.

>>55831488

>>55831671
It'll be violent but nigs will just chimp out and kill each other over scraps instead of the bankers and billionaire capitalists.

>>55831671

I will rip off more from my desperate customers, I also dont pay taxes for most of my work.
I'm not retarded.

>>55831469
We used to be able to walk to electric streetcars that took you anywhere you wanted to go in comfort. Public transit has been purposely degraded to make car travel seem more attractive.

>>55831693
Rent
fucking
free

>>55831356
Literally fiat economics to justify inflation.
>Is everything getting too expensive for you? Just own less, goyim. You will own nothing and be happy.

It’s amazing to me how boomers all seem to have the ability to do fairly high level repairs on cars, carpentry, and most trades

Zoomers have YouTube and can’t change their brakes or hang a tv on the wall.

>writes "Public transit has been purposely degraded"

If you're not allowed to discuss the root issue, you're not going to solve the issue. many such cases in modern America

>>55831923
Probably because when Boomers were growing up, car parts were cheap and plentiful and they were overpaid. You think a zoomer can afford to buy $300 in brake parts while trying to pay rent and other bills? Fucktard. Boomers had an infinite resource pool and plenty of time fucking off at their job to experiment. Dont take my word for it, theyll gladly tell you about how they “used to drive off and go fishin’ on their lunch break”.

>>55831356
>just live like a 13th century pesant bro

>>55832001
Found the beta zoomer who’s wife has to call somebody to replace a fucking toilet plunger

The main cost of car repairs is labor. Parts are cheap, and even cheaper if you are ok with using non Oem shit from rock auto

Some comparisons from a couple jobs I recently did for household vehicles

>vw dsg service at the dealer
600
>doing it my self including special tool purchase and fluid + 1hr if my time
240

>Subaru Sti secondary air valve failure repair
1000+
>diy including block off plate + 3hr of my time
20

>rebuilding 16g turbo done at a rebuild shop
300-350
>rebuilding it myself
70 for the kit and 1 hour of time


Shit is even easier now on modern cars as you have a computer doing the diagnosis for you. Even purchasing speciality tools needed for more complex shit ends up being cheaper, and you accumulate a proper tool collection as time passes. The problem is how the modern brain works. Boomers all had a basic mechanical understanding that can be applied to ANYTHING. Zoomers totally lack this part of their brain.

>>55831353
I love it, i love it
Thanks Bidet, oops my coach is coming to make us work harder

>>55832101
Congratulations, you are the boomer caricature. Totally ignore any real argument and run back to “muh nobody wants to work anymore”. Tick tock boomer the nursing home calls soon.

>>55832139
Imagine thinking calling me a boomer is an insult

As for
>muh boomers has time off work to fix things

I’m a tradie who works 45 hours a week. Zoomer fags sperg out if they can’t work remotely. All that time at home, and they spend it playing tranny video games and scrolling tiktoc

>>55831600
You dumb nigger you don't walk to your commie block carrying bags of groceries. No one does that. Stop larping.

>>55831981
>gets upset when someone explains the factual reason why cities aren't walkable and public transportation is unusable: it's largely because of niggers
I'm upset that you came on the internet to spread misinfo to obscure the failure of the US government to rein in caustic corporate influence, resulting in a cultural breakdown that is further exacerbated by the redirection of capital away from prosocial uses and towards making sure your screaming metal death trap doesn't get a pothole owwie while commuting 30 miles a day for Cow's Milk and chewing tobacco. Yes, I am upset that America's collapse is being caused by flyover bumfucks who completely lack awareness and who victim blame.
Also, I road city busses every day as a 14-year-old. Grow some balls.
>unironically makes a "le walkable cities" libtard post
Yes. Go fuck a goat, ruralshit.

>>55832101
This.
>>55832139
He's right.

>>55831356
One step closer to owning noting and being happy.
Hehehehehe

>>55831469
This. The only people I know who do not need a car are people who live in a larger city where they can order everything within minutes for the same money as I would need to drive there. But even they sometimes need a car on occasion. Everyone else I know who does not own a car and is over the age of 25, is a poorfag. And everyone I know who is over 30 and does not own a car is a poorfag and leftoid loser, constantly crying about cars being bad etc, just for them to cry about bad weather and not having a car the next day.
People who do not have a car at a certain age are walking red flags most of the time and I tend to remove them from my life or ignore them fully. You can get at least some small beater car. My car is 12 years old and I take good care of it. If you work and not own a car and have no good reason to not own a car, something is very often wrong with you and you need to get that fixed. With a car you can go anywhere you want and it forces you to be aware of things, forces you to take care a bit. Forces you to plan ahead and maintain a bit. You can go places with it, transport stuff. Go on a fucking holiday. Be present when people need you . Meet people.
People without cars I know always pissy about fucking bus schedule and shit, asking me to drive them to the train station at the age of 32, even though they could drive the way home with a car in 20 minutes instead of waiting 30 minutes for the poor people train, imagine wasting your life like that, are you for real?

WOW A POOL!

At least they all got a pool. That's one amenity.

lmao reminds me when journos called a depression a "great recession"

>>55832001
Blames boomers for him not knowing which end of a screwdriver goes in the slot. Pathetic.

>I'm not buying a car and all my money is going into BTC.

Funny cause you don't pay for groceries with BTC but continue living in your delusion.

We should kill the media outlets and break the knees of var insurance CEOs

>>55836495
>Funny cause you don't pay for groceries with BTC but continue living in your delusion.

Apparently you are the one living in delusion considering there's an increase in stores reciving payment in crypto.

>>55836918
Asides this you can pay with Crypto via virtual cards like CryptMi and CDC card.

>>55831353
A true /biz/ patrician like me drives a Tesla. I don't have to worry about a million different parts breaking on an ICE vehicle. I only have to change the tires and windshield wipers periodically.

>>55834558
Once I started seeing literal troons on twitter posting "chad meme" or "based" to describe shit like the Biden administration did or some other pathetic normalfag politics I knew it was over

>>55832454
>I am upset that America's collapse is being caused by flyover bumfucks

You posted the stereotypical libfag illegible wall of text to conclude that "rural flyover" states are ruining public transport. You're either a troon, underage b& or some 80 IQ jogger

>>55837271
>oh and change the whole car when there's a minuscule electronic malfunction

we are more fucked than you can imagine. unironically it's gonna get worse, and worse, and worse and they will keep telling people not to panic until its far too late. get ready for this folks.

>>55837345
Lies. On the rare chance that there's some electronic glitch, I just reboot it like an iPhone.

>>55832530
Lol I take the subway and it's often faster than driving my car in the city. During the summers I bike everywhere because my city is rich enough to invest in biking infrastructure. People who drive cars are anxiety ridden retards, always talking about how BAD traffic was, how CRAZY the commute was, getting rinsed by insurance companies, oil companies, banks (if they finance, lol nice BMW too bad you are stuck honking behind a crackhead blocking the street), But of course if you live in some flyover shithole having a car is a basic necessity for survival unfortunately.

>>55831358
>Employees ask for more
>Equipment is more expensive
>Utilities and insurance more expensive

You won't make a dollar more in your pocket, nigger.

>>55831353
from the same shitbox that tells you inflation is good and no we're not in a recession sweaty

>>55831506
And that elasticity has gone down. A lack of new car supply has increased demand for car repairs since covid.

Once the loans come back, it's actually over
