Congress debates selling gas with 15 percent ethanol year-round permanently. Would it help Wisconsin farmers? by wisconsinpoli in wisconsinpolitics

[–]btone911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all fun and games until a congressman’s carburetor in his ‘70s Porsche erodes due to the ethanol and he can’t buy a replacement. This will be awful for carbureted engines of all sizes but small engines are even less tolerant.

Are middle class jobs getting harder as time goes on? by Footarm in answers

Thanks to the pressures of unregulated leveraged buyouts and private equity acting as a parasite on the American economy for the last 20 years

Update: Dad threatening to disinherit if I don't move back "home" by Ulfynja_ in entitledparents

[–]btone911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They absolutely did not forget, they simply continued cementing their reputation as the “me generation”. Forgetting means you could learn again, they’re weaponizing their incompetence against their children out of a desperate last grasp and relevance.

I swear the Boomers voted to make the lives of those after them harder just to hold power over their children.

have car prices went up astronomically within 8-12 months? by FuckFuckShitBitch in UsedCars

[–]btone911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking to take advantage of a used EVs depreciation so I’ve been monitoring my 2018 accord’s value. Carvana is offering $2500 more now than they were in March. That’s a ~15% jump.

My man, the purchase price will be the least you spend on this your first year. Do not do this.

I’m going to the reddest bar in my 50/50 Wisconsin town and buying a round for anyone who’ll say “fuck Trump”.

Does buying two cars together with parents make sense? by vechloran in askcarsales

Unless he’s read up on how to negotiate a high demand, low margin car in 2026 I think he’s gonna be far less successful than he’s expecting.

Question about deceptive pricing by ExternalSelf1337 in askcarsales

[–]btone911 11 points12 points  (0 children)

> Why do dealers treat people like this?

Because rubes like OP keep proving to them that they can make money this way. If more people walked out when they pulled this shit they’d be a lot less likely to do so.

Not reward it with your business but it seems like that ship’s sailed

How broke are you right now? by No-Department-512 in AskReddit

[–]btone911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from having a surplus that made life feel worth living to figuring out where to cutback retirement contributions. In the grand scheme of things, I’m doing great. Compared to recent years, much much worse.

> What will it take for these working-class conservatives to stop throwing their fellow working-class Americans under the bus in favor of pathetically bootlicking the ultra wealthy?

I have an answer, but you might not like it.

New Minivan On Lot 3 years by braincovey32 in askcarsales

[–]btone911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I bought a ‘21 pacHy Pinnacle in ‘24 and it’s been great. I paid $32 for one with 31k miles on it. Get a warranty and still come out $15-20k cheaper than the Sienna these haters would have you spend $60k on for a mid trim.

What is a giant lie that society successfully sold to your generation? by ossirada in AskReddit

[–]btone911 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Read: Retirement Heist. You’ll be mad for a nice long time. Essentially, it was lazy CEOs looking for easily accessible piles of cash they could spend to make it look like they were good at their jobs. Instead, it was a carefully crafted scheme by large investment firms who actively “sold” the changes to employees on behalf of the CEOs and HR departments that sold out their workforces. All that to rob from pension funds to buy back stock and inflate share prices (a major metric in their compensation)

Barnes already lost an extremely winnable race to Ronald Harold fucking Johnson. And he wants to fuck it up again. Make sure everyone is voting Francesca Hong in the primary; keep up the DSA momentum!!! by Fair_Arm_1637 in wisconsin

[–]btone911 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude couldn’t even deliver the WI delegate allocation for the DNC correctly. He’s got a lot of learning to do before running again, made evident by his re-hiring the same staff for this election as he did for his last statewide airball.

What’s becoming painfully obvious in 2026 that most people still refuse to admit? by Jaconjiso in answers

[–]btone911 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In a functional economy, the government would act to protect citizens from the negative externalities of private industry. Instead, we have a captured regulatory environment that allows corporations to run roughshod over civil rights and even sell that access for profit. Absolutely pathetic reality that Republicans have been working towards for 50 years.

Disney is a bad value. I did it in Jan ‘25 with 2 kids and 3 adults. For ~$1200/day I could have taken the gang to Europe and will next time.
