You can still get a stripped down, plain white F-150 for under $27k through fleet sales. But buyers don’t want that. They want the 4-door people hauler that happens to have a pick-up bed and leather seats. They’ll imagine the $10k from memo

When I was in middle school I believe I bought a pretty extensive chemistry set secondhand. Various small bottles of poisonous chemicals, test strips, and all sorts of glass. Sadly I see nothing comparable out there today. I think the stron

GP, or PCP, salaries are down. Pushing new entrants with huge loans into specializations, which pay better. So you have a huge demand at the basic level and a limited supply since fewer doctors want to do general practice. The market should

In quite a few US states anti-miscegenation laws are still on the books. You would hardly find a lawyer or judge to take the case but most haven't been removed, yet. If you told a interracial couple that what they are doing is "il

I've seen it only once. One manager, not in my department, had a high turnover. Staff were either fired, quit, or transfered. Senior management eventually stepped in and discovered this guy was pretty toxic. But they couldn't simp

Unfortunately, this is the honest answer. The best bikelocks in the world can be cut with a $100 cordless angle grinder and $20 carbide blade. I watched the CCTV footage of the thief walk up with a Dewalt multitool and hack through my $50 U

I don't think urbanism has been affected that much. In my neck of the woods (SE Florida) urbanism didn't lose a beat. Rental apartments in my neighborhood are leasing at above asking. There were a few months where the city felt ab

Not the same thing. Robots are literally programmed to perform a task. A travel booking agency? I don't give a shit if it's AI or 1000 gnomes making hotel reservations. In the former the software is part of the product, the later
