Poor Wife
People like this are married, there's hope for anyone.
Happy late Valentine's Day 😅
Wife needs to insist on mental health evaluation.
Doesn't have any money
Huge amount of debt
Looks forward to getting a nice new car for free
It must be nice to live in fantasy land
Not free duh, he has instruments way above his debt!
His brain has been absolutely broken by online gibberish. But the fundamental material concerns - that debt instruments commoditize our time and labor in a way we should find abhorrent - are reasonable.
I just get the sense that this guy would be happier living in 1970s Yugoslavia - putting his name on the "next car off the factory line" waiting list and following up in two years to travel 50 miles to the factory to pick it up - than he is in the American consumer credit system.
I don't know about Yugoslavia in particular, but in other communist countries you had to put your name on the list, get approved by the party, wait 12 years (not two), pay the price of the car, and then pick it up at the factory.
I don’t know about Yugoslavia
Yugoslava, in particular, had a lively and successful automotive industry under Tito. It collapsed when they lost their primary export market in the 90s.
They're all secretly in love with 1970's/80s iron curtain style socialism, they just don't know it yet.
"test travel" 💀
But then they’re gonna “drive” home with a new car. So they wiñl be driving not traveling once they…steal the test drive car? Is that their plan?
Committing them, as in to a mental hospital?
Yes
Driving home? Selling his soul to the state just like that? Everyone knows that the 45° Maritime law doesn't protect you when you drive, you gotta travel, son!
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!
I don't see any off-ramp for him either. It's either crash and burn or continue living in smaller and smaller boxes.
Test traveling!
