If people are saying the economy is bad then why is there more and more of $60k Teslas on the road?

Yes housing is insane expensive but everything on a daily basis is surprisingly cheap. Food, energy, data, transportation, gas, all don't matter unless you got a roof over you're head.

It's still crazy to bitch about the cheapest globally available prices on everything and not recognize the original problem being the housing market. Which roots to local government zoning. It's time for everyone to go to the local town committee meetings. Second favorite pass time for old people short of bingo.

It was to get Trump elected. They said he was going to lower prices, but he wasn't. One of the judges got rid of Overtime for four million workers in the US. And now Trump is saying he can't promise he will lower prices when that was his whole campaign. He also promised peace, but he started a war with Mexico and talked about invading Canada as well as the Middle East.

His supporters just need to find out he was full of shit. And they are going to be crying when he gives himself a third term. He was going to increase prices with tariffs and no more overtime pay and his billionaire friends and cabinet will enjoy the money.

A war with Mexico and invading Canada? Where did that come from? Hope it wasn’t the leftist media propaganda machine!

Here you go. He's talking bombing cartel drug labs in Mexico. It's not no leftist propaganda. The prices are going up because that is how a tariff works anyone who understands basic 6th grade math knows this.

Because most of those Tesla's are bought with debt, not cash. Also, most people are working in debt, and not able to work into solvency or pay bills.

I'm just curious why you chose a single consumer item on the border between luxury and standard as a proxy for the economy especially when the owner of that company is increasingly controversial and the brand is both suffering and gaining from that.

People are taking on my debt and it keeps the wheel turning

My economy is doing alright but the general economy is mixed but that's quite normal and stable

[jamesgoldman]

That should be MORE debt

Taking on debt plus they are subsidized by federal and state tax credits.

There is clearly a "white collar recession" going on.

The economy is bad but there are still enough people who want to own a Tesla.
