#1 Yeah, the communist economic forum can go fuck itself.

#2 We are halfway there. Folks lease now so they can flip the car in 4-5 years and get a new one. Young generation that grew up on Lyft and uber don't even feel the need for a car, they don't see freedom they see costs.

The World Economic Forum is just stupid to call attention to things that are already heading their way, then again they would be commie sympathizers if they weren't stupid..

Urban young. Rural young don't have that option.

#4 Rural young will just have to stay on the farms where they belong...

#5 And so we see that "climate Change" is just another made up crisis to be used as a pretext to turn us all into slaves. FOAD is indeed the appropriate response.

#6 No private transportation means moving to an urban center. Hive cities are easy to rule and police selectively. Think of the Imperial Roman model, proles in the Subura, Patricians on the Palatine with their wealth coming from estates and country mansions to escape the ordeals of city life. WEF, what is old is new again, and behind it, the shadowy but real Middle Kingdom Imperium plan.

#10 Folks lease now so they can flip the car in 4-5 years and get a new one.

In the old days a union worker expected to own his own home and buy a new car no less than every thee years. While legally there is a difference, I’m not sure that functionally there is — given that for a price that lease can be turned into a purchase.

#11 I can't speak for Union workers but nearly everyone I know got a parents car as their first. If you keep getting new ones you never get it paid off entirely.

#12 That's right. I'll just call in a favor to the limo company I own and they will drive me to my private plane, where I'll fly to my private yacht, sail to Epstein Island redux, anchor on the leeward side, and get my Chuck Norris on.

#13 My model for car ownership - buy a car coming off a three year lease and run that sonofabitch into the ground. It's served me well so far.
