Elected Democrats and other critics call out the Trump administration for refusing to use contingency funding to pay for food stamps during the US government shutdown.
I drive 35 to 40k miles a year for my job. I only get new because I’d rather pay and have a driving car than pay and have one in the shop for the same price.
My car was 40 and full electric so I don’t have to buy gas and my fiance’s car was 25k. Those two car payments and and insurance we pay around 1500 a month.
But it’s not the cars that’s a problem. I choose that luxury. Be it for practicality or showing off. What I don’t choose is to live ina 600 squarefoot Apartment for a thousand dollars more than it should be. Or daycare for 250 a WEEK!
Even if I lowered the price of the card for 500 a month, 800 a months it wouldn’t help.
I just told you why I buy the kind of cars I do. I can’t get a versa for two grand… It won’t last for more than two months. I’ve tired it before… It was really bad.
Even with a car payment being $750/month, that’s a pretty fancy car from my perspective - and represents the average car payment for a new car.
I think that these folks could keep up with expenses much more easily if a few minor compromises were made (namely, a cheaper car).

Class solidarity is vital, but I really just can’t sympathize with your poor financial choices. Money is not magic.
Thank you for holding him accountable for how he wastes his money.
He’s part of a culture where those who have more, spend more. He would be doing the exact same shit as our oppressors if he was in their position.
This is how we change our culture.
Dude, you’re on lemmy and a total of two dozen people saw this. You aren’t “changing culture” this way.
Why are online people like this? Lol
You’re just upset that I dared to criticize the culture and greed that you support.
Keep sharing ideas everyone. It’s important people like aesthelete are reminded of their contribution to the problem as much as possible.
Lol alright bud you keep “changing the culture” through some lemmy posts!

Yeah, he’s definitely living a higher quality of life than people who actually need more money.
My car was $5k and I’ve had it for over a decade.
