    Because covid destroyed the car supply chain and made new cars basically the same price as used

    In some cases, used is actually more expensive because it’s available that day, whereas ordering a vehicle still takes 6+ weeks

        Strikes help the workers afford shit they wouldn’t otherwise, and has positive consequences for others in the same class

      Yup, and that’s why I’m still driving my 15+ yo cars. I’d like to replace the gas guzzler, but I’m not spending $40k or whatever to do so.
