Confirming CNN's reporting that is working with a local bonding company to cover his $200,000 bail.

  • Only a single new car model under $20k in the US.
  • Average new car at $48000, average used at $27000, both up 30% since 2019
  • Record loan deliquencies due to high prices & interest rates despite low unemployment rates

In other words a record number of debt slaves who can't afford their cars despite working full time jobs. What👏a👏system👏

mgerdts,

@Techaltar the idea that you need to spend $48k to get a decent car is ludicrous. The following are mostly top safety pick or better from IIHS, are reliable, have good resale value, and have modern features. In some, going to the second from the bottom trim is a big improvement for about $2k.

Toyota:
Corolla sedan $22k
Corolla hybrid $23k (50+ MPG)
Tacoma SR5 $31k (double cab pickup)

Subaru: (all AWD)
Crosstrek $25k
Ascent $34k (8 seats)

I could go on.

NWS Nashville: "A sprawling 600+ decameter high pressure system centered over Missouri will result in heat headlines through the week from the Gulf Coast to the Upper Ms Valley." #TNwx #heatwave #heat https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=AFDOHX&e=202308212328

mgerdts,

@ai6yr for those not familiar with the metric system, 600 decameters is about 30 furlongs.

Rich and powerful people are using defamation lawsuits to silence factual reporting and crush local news outlets. This is the playbook https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/15/business/media/antigay-slur-wausau-pilot-review.html

    Open Invitation from Mastodon

    So you've joined Mark Zuckerberg's new app that uploads your entire phone. That's cool. Have fun.

    You may have heard of Mastodon. We are something different. A little more complicated and a lot more egalitarian. No billionaires sucking up your financial and health info here. Just good honest friendly human engagement.

    If you grow tired of vacuous celebrity posters, and algorithm selected content, give https://spreadmastodon.org/ a try.

    mgerdts,

    @mastodonmigration are you sure you want to describe mastodon as complicated in the same sentence where you use a six syllable word to describe its merits?

    is waiting to find out what's wrong with the pup

    mgerdts,

    @joe oh man, what a rough day. I’d give her a couple weeks to recover hitting the groomer. Also, you will probably be seeing a lot more of her tongue without the teeth to hold it in place.

    >RSS is dead.

    Time to revive RSS. It's only "dead" if we fail to try making it an option.

    mgerdts,

    @yakkoj we already have the first part. Just point your RSS reader at:
