But as things stand, cars are still really expensive for many Americans. Just 10 percent of new car listings are currently priced below $30,000, according to CoPilot. Things are not much better in the used car market, where only 28 percent of listings are currently priced below $20,000.
According to an October report by Market Watch, Americans needed an annual income of at least $100,000 to afford a car, at least if they’re following standard budgeting advice, which says you shouldn’t spend more than 10 percent of your monthly income on car-related expenses.
That means that more than 60 percent of American households currently cannot afford to buy a new car, based on Census data. For individuals, the numbers are even worse, with 82 percent of people below the $100,000 line.
$100k to afford a car! Wtf.
it comes once a week, costs 700 dollars, takes three times as long as driving, and breaks down 50% of the time
I heard there’s a major world power that’s really good at building and operating railways. Maybe americans can seek help from them.
I believe that you’re referring to the Communist Chinese People’s Party of Evil (CCPEE), which is extremely bad - they have built more trains than anyone in the world, but only western tourists are permitted to ride them, so that we will believe communism (bad) is good (capitalism). This, therefore, is not real socialism (good in theory) and is instead bad in practice (capitalism), due to highways. Everyone in China actually lives in abandoned apartments and rides donkeys (communist horse). This is why they have so much pollution (bad for the environment), and why they build electric vehicles to destroy American factories (white).
the chinese people riding the trains are paid actors
correct, but they aren’t paid - there is no money in China, except for Mr. Xi, who is the richest man in the world, which he uses to buy off everyone in China (they receive no money in this exchange)
the chinese billionaires are paid actors
this process of Mx. Ping paying everyone in China (with no money) is the socialist dream (nightmare) of wealth redistribution, where the richest person gives all their money (there is no money in China) to everyone else (who is an unpaid acting intern)
which is further proof that CCP communism (bad) is actually capitalism (good)
