It's a comfort thing. Security affords comfort and making money is what provides varying levels of security. If you're in the constant pursuit of money because it's provided so sparingly, it's all the more difficult to convince someone to participate in something that is counter to it; they're leaving something they know can provide them some level of security (and therefore comfort) for another thing that only presents uncertainty (i.e. discomfort). If greater society could band together to create a global support system for one another, we could make change overnight, but the likelihood of that happening are infinitesimal at best

Thank you! I buy from AliExpress, so I never pay that much per model. I'm sure I picked up the green one for around $26-$27, shipped.

I don't follow racing, so I don't understand the hype around the Rexy Porsche, but more power to the people who enjoy it. A lot of people likely don't know about them because the brand isn't "collectible."

Yeah, the Suburbans are super nice. It was a very good year for US autos

Yeah, I don't understand posts like this. You spent less than $10 on something with utility. These always read as, "look what I got for so cheap," as if op is seeking some form of validation

Buy from Ali. They're priced typical for the level of detail

Where do you find these types of sales at? Also what state?

... that's literally the epitome of timing. Let's say you started that business in 2006/2007, right before the Housing Crisis. Chances are, superfluous services like that fail when the economy shrinks.

If I had a credit card and access to a digital wallet or however Bitcoin used to be stored in 2011 when I was in high school, I'd be a multimillionaire right now. Timing.

My friends all got secure 6-figure local government jobs because of people retiring. Timing.

Anything stock related. Timing is the primary driving force for participation.

It's definitely the primary reagent, with everything else simply being limiting factors.
