Something I’m old enough to remember… it used to be that it was reasonably affordable to buy a high-mileage used car and just drive it until it couldn’t run anymore, then get another one. That’s why my dad did his whole life. Driving sucks I would infinitely prefer public transport but if you’re gonna make car ownership a requirement to live at least make it cheap.

Then Obama did the Cash for Clunkers program, which absolutely obliterated the cheap used car market and it hasn’t recovered since. It was a not-so-hidden giveaway to the car companies because it put a lot of people into situations where you had to buy a new car, thanks Obama.
