Just wanted to share how these brutal tariffs have absolutely wrecked my life. I mean, I’m barely surviving out here… Yesterday, I had no choice but to buy my wife a brand-new car. 😩 Yes, a new car. With heated seats. And wireless Apple CarPlay. And a panoramic sunroof so she can gaze at the stars while I cry myself to sleep over the economic devastation.

Thanks to these tariffs, I had to endure:

A complimentary espresso at the dealership loungeA sales rep who called me “boss” 14 times
A 0.9% APR that felt like a slap in the face of fiscal responsibilityAnd worst of all… she picked the premium color. The one that costs $595 extra. I begged her to choose “dealer white.” She chose “Midnight Sapphire.” 😭

I’m not saying tariffs are ruining marriages, but I am saying I now have to park next to her car and feel inadequate.
Anyway, just wanted to warn the rest of you. If you’re thinking of buying a car, beware: Tariffs will force you to upgrade to the trim with the massage seats.

Stay strong out there.

It's a tough world out there.
I was embarrassed to drive past the Nok Ings crowd in a paid-for new pick up truck yesterday. So, I thought it would distract them if I flipped the bird to the tiny strip of self-righteousness holding ineffectual signs of terror and grief. My embarrassment of riches balanced out their embarrassment of futility.

Yeah, isn't life a bitch?
But think how proud you'll be riding in a new car and plowing through line after line of liberal idiot Trump-hating protesters while they're freezing their balls off sitting on the road while you're riding in a nice, quiet car with those great heated massage seats this winter!  Hope you'll be wearing your MAGA hat just to throw a little salt on their open wounds as they wave their Antifa and Gay Pride flags! 

I know I will!

Every human reality corrupts life adapting in this atmosphere daily and not a character's soul is willing to let go of the idea now isn't eternity where genetic outcomes only exist as eternally separated now balancing as displaced and no reality balances to living eternal separation by generation gaps arriving one great great grandchild at a time replacing their 30 previous ancestors denied now is eternity throughout history so far.

Doing the same thing every generation gap last 350 generations manifested a real physical eternal hell in this atmosphere by choices picked and promises to stay in character cradle to grave kept every generation so far.

Huh.

I bought a new car, too. But I didn't get that gem of a rate.

I paid cash. 









On the internet, anyway.  :LOL:

I bought Subaru. With a J series VIN. That means it was built in Japan, by workers I respect and trust to build my ride. I ALWAYS buy J series.

Better hope it wasn't built on a Monday (hangover day) or a Friday (I'm gettin' the **** out of here day). 

American workers do not have the same honor code as jappos.

I trust my lawn to meskins, my cars to jappos, and my lattes to americans.  :)

I'm just glad to see the cocksuckers changed their minds about having a king in the whitehouse. They were all for it on either side of either of Trump's administrations. I wish they would tell us what caused them to change their minds.

It is difficult to ascertain the ebb and flow of such complexities.
Trump even toned down the orange tint the second time. I can't see what they asking for...
