That was part of the point of the blog, transferring that knowledge.

I dislike this argument, something doesn't have to scale to society as a whole to be a good idea. Tons of people that are rich or unwise can keep buying new cars and thousands of my readers can start buying used cars without throwing the whole world market off.
- mikeash 7y agoIt’s not an argument, just a plain statement of fact. Remember, the context here is an article about the reasons why a huge number of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. It’s quite relevant to mention that having everyone buy old cars can’t solve this problem.
