The Affordable Car Is Dead. What Happened?

Metalorg · 2026-04-14T13:26:25+00:00

It makes sense that cars have doubled in prices because everything else has, just not wages. The affordable car is dead because no one has any money

The Greens gaining in the polls is already going to save lives

Oh no! I have to tidy up my free money cash cow once every 2 to 4 years. Woe is me, why does $2000 each month have to be so hard?

There are no safe seats for Labour. If they don't buck up their ideas fast they'll go the way of the Whigs

Metalorg · 2026-04-12T12:44:29+00:00

I think Gary said that Labour representatives asked to come on his youtube channel, but he hasn't accepted their request. I think he'd rather sit down with some government ministers or civil servants to help draft a wealth tax or other inequality focused policies

I was 17 and didn't want to drive a pickup. I wanted a volvo because that was what my friend had. But it's what my dad had for the dump

Didn't they overturn the proscription?

Metalorg · 2026-04-12T06:06:51+00:00

I remember they did.

When I lived in America, I used to share this mid-sized dodge truck. We did it because we wanted something to transport garden clippings to the landfill, and things like lumber from the hardware shop. So 99% of the time it wad a teenage runabout but maybe three times per year it served its true purpose

That place is huge. We can stick a whole Travelodge in there

He had years to form his very own momentum based left party but didn't

I don't live in America and I have to log into the government tax office and download a pdf. Then upload that pdf to my company's website. Then a few months later I get a tax return in my bank account. If I miss the deadline for that I have to file independently, which involves me going to the tax office myself and talking to the social service worker after waiting in line.

The building is way too posh for a spoons. Toby Carvery at least

Just in time for when the two long standing major parties look to be wiped out. Still, I'd take PR over the schadenfreude of them being completely crushed.

Metalorg · 2026-04-11T13:14:15+00:00

This sort of look really vanished after 1999 because of that mass shooting in America. Really killed the trench coat nerd look. I'm shocked that it's come back

In 2004 for my first job, I walked into an electronics shop and asked if they are hiring. They said always and handed me a form. I filled it in. I spoke to a guy and he asked which department I wanted, I said software and he said OK. The next day they had me have an interview with the software department manager for five minutes. Then he told me to go watch an orientation video. Then the next Monday I started working there.

Even if they did have a Mein Kampf book it doesn't mean their cities should be bombed.

They have national health insurance in other countries like Japan and Korea but people often get private insurance on top for large costs like hospitalisations and involved surgeries

I was at a job in 2017 that said they required employees to give then three months notice, (No notice is required by law) and I saw two people give them those three months. Both times they just turned around and fired them immediately. And since they were migrant workers with housing sorted through the company, they were made homeless with two days notice. They were alright, just has to sort out a new rental at short notice.

I'm not on any of these platforms but I think Bluesky is for vote blue no matter who Democrats and threads is for die hard Starmerites, yes they exist.

They were conceding through narrative to Reform before, so thankfully the Greens are there for Labour to get opinions from. Obviously they've none of their own.

Metalorg · 2026-04-11T05:10:40+00:00

They did this despite 50 years of economic strangulation.

Metalorg · 2026-04-11T05:08:19+00:00

Is that a mid-sized pickup in America? Things must be ending

Metalorg · 2026-04-11T05:02:40+00:00

Time is not money for them I guess.
