While her economic plan wasn't strong, it did exist. The more telling thing, though, is that a lot of leftists decided that Trump would somehow be better for Gazans than Harris, and decided to "stick it to the dems" by either not voting or going for Trump.
And now those people are silent lol
That's part of why I bought now. Life forced this on me, so I had to take the bad deal now and then refinance.
Thanks for clarifying this. I know the EU does a lot of things better but I was confused about how you're paying €5k for a good vehicle lol
The process of dying involves lots of debt too because of our corrupt funeral and burial industry
Providing loans is a major part of a bank's job though? Like yes it's wrong that we need loans for necessities like transportation, education, healthcare etc, but even if all those were unnecessary banks would still need to provide loans so that people can start businesses or build houses.
there are a lot of used ~2018 to 2022 cars on the market with not a lot of miles, most go for around $20k (like what I got). True beaters still go for like $10k.
yep, that's what I'm doing. They're offering 7% with EXACTLY THE SAME PARAMETERS AS CARVANA.
I'm refinancing this terrible loan and the bank person grimaced when they saw this.
ah can I not log into my .world account on .ee?
if it goes below 100 then I'm gonna celebrate
My issue with this is that barter and haggling is a very diverse practice that is seen differently across the world. All cultures do it in certain forms and in certain contexts, but both those concepts and how haggling is performed/perceived differ wildly. This in my opinion is a very solid question for general anthropology. Before the thread got removed, I was getting answers about all kinds of places, not just the Middle East.
One really good comment in that thread that is now removed mentioned that, when they went to Thailand, the merchants had a system where they would hand you a calculator with the price punched in and you would change that price and hand it back. They said that they entered in decimals that don't exist in Thai currency as a joke, and that the merchant seemed entertained. I don't think that I can get these kinds of answers from mass-posting on subs of a bunch of different countries--I wasn't even thinking of Thailand when I wrote the original post.
See, THIS kind of discussion is what I asked for. Good intentions and just trying to figure out the POV of the other culture. This hyper-puritanical moderation prevented this good discussion from taking place where it belongs.
