I mean I originally quoted you because you said it’s due to inflation and interest rates. Both of which can be correlated with unemployment rate and forward looking economy. But fair enough, we can stop arguing about it

Fed is forward looking. They see something going on. And the numbers don’t reflect that because the numbers reflect it during the current month. Again look up the private sector jobs numbers vs how many layoffs have happened. Writing is on the wall

it rose in the last couple months. largely driven by layoffs in government sector. this and also the fact that private sector is freezing hiring (you can find evidence of this if you work within the tech industry, just as an example) means the fed is seeing shaky numbers in the future. Again...

It's crazy to me because it's all software driven (which i don't like either since i hate having AC tied to my software). Software is easily updated and pushed to prod for software updates, but they're extremely slow on it.

Agreed, my parents both emigrated to America and when anti asian sentiment went up during covid, they were greatly discriminated against. this is despite both of them being hard working citizens for decades, paying taxes, going to local city council meetings. Doesn't matter to some people...

that's the thing, we won't be alive for mars :) edit: and even if you do, in that scenario above, you'd be flying to mars on a chinese made rocket powered by chinese chips. hope you love firefly since that universe essentially had china as the main power that won out in the technology race

This scenario unironically would lead to china becoming the number one most powerful nation state for decades, if not centuries. It would also lead to russia becoming much more powerful than its current form. This scenario where we get canada, Greenland, and Mexico would not benefit America at...

Hey don't have to convince me lol convince people who had such a problem with illegal immigrants in the past. If everyone is American, then they'd get access to american jobs, american houses, american QoL, which I'm ok with. It's the people who seemed to think that they were stealing them...

So instead of illegal immigrants, we should give everyone on the continent citizenship, therefore doing exactly what those immigrants wanted in the first place. Can't argue with that logic tbh

I'm curious why this is such a big point for this admin/conservatives. This would inevitably lead to a democratic presidency for decades if we use the same electoral college system that is population based. all that canada becoming a state talk is completely nonsense imo and is just...

Having heard both corsa and borla exhausts at car shows/meets, I will say whoever commented on here that 99% of the sound is mainly from the engine is correct. Can't go wrong with corsa/borla/awe, just get the cheapest one you can and do research on which ones don't drone. Corsa from what I...

it's not a demand problem. people want the car, it's mainly a price problem IMO

You can paint carbon fiber, but ya at that point might as well just get it non-carbon fiber. I don't think the spoiler adds too much weight anyways, so this is more so cosmetic. Carbon fiber doors, hoods, and body panels go much further in terms of weight savings

ya that's kinda what i was hinting at haha

Sure would be nice for them to have an account on this very forum that they would actively manage and not just drop randomly...

Think about how dark horse owners feel when they see just a GT show up instead of the dark horse 🙃

cost benefit of this is not in Ford's favor edit: to go more into this, the tariffs on assembled cars outside of america will make the cost of outside assembly probably still be less than what it costs to pay people to assemble it within america. And it's not as simple as moving all assembly...

We're in a weird spot right now where inflation is already high but unemployment is high as well. Lowering interest rates will increase employment, but it will also lead to an increase in inflation which has shown over the past 4 years to generally outpace wage increases. In the last Fed...

Consumer can feel that way (even though most consumers will choose the cheaper option), but if I was a Ford executive, I'd be frightened to think whether moving all production to America will result in 1. increased car prices, 2. creating an american factory that becomes non-competitive the...

Multiple reasons for me. First reason is price, and it’s broad across the car industry. It’s affecting the Mustang more so imo because the Mustang for a long time was seen as the entry level performance sports car with the s550 gen. Wages haven’t kept up with the inflation we have been seeing...
