While I'm not a fan, hospice care and retirement communities exist for those who are infirm. You seriously think old people (read boomers) are the biggest cause of auto accidents?
Not everyone is you.
Someone should go to hospice just because they can't drive anymore?
Yeah but many people don't have the time or money to be an unpaid chauffer. Especially young people who are spending every waking moment working to be able to afford basic necessities.
yes now die
Damn I guess a bunch of boomers gotta die, as well as blind people and people with severe epilepsy (and other disabilities that make you unable to drive).
Lol quit trying to advocate for the disabled, you're a net loss.
You realize what forum we're on, right?
ive been to the thunderdome board. this seems correct
I have had photosensitive epilepsy since 2005. I live in a city for that reason and I have a complicated relationship with cars and urbanism. I like good public transit and walkable cities but weird activist faggots who try to extend these policies outside of cities are annoying. It's also frustrating when people invoke disabilities like mine to make these arguments.
Null's rant about how America's Favorite African American is responsible for Cali not having HSR, was some real fucking wet streets cause rain bullshit.
For those who didn't catch the stream: (Timestamp 22:12)
I do live in the metro area of a major city though. Cities are also becoming pretty unaffordable, so that's also a problem since crips aren't exactly made of money.
You're telling me you couldn't scrape together 2000 and get a used 2001 Ford Focus that has pretty decent mileage? Really?
Nope, especially since you aren't getting a decent used car that cheap and even if you are, the cost of the car itself is far from the only expense of having one. When I last had a car insurance alone was over 100 bux a month, and that was minimum coverage. Then there's gas and any repairs that come up (more common for used cars), and you're looking at a couple hundred to a couple thousand a month just to own and maintain the damn thing. And if it dies, you're fucked.
You have the internet at your fingertips, do research to find a really solid low maintenance model. Get a old Toyota or Honda. That shit is titanium, fuel efficient with the 4 cylinder, and parts are cheap as shit.
$100/mo is insanely high for minimum coverage on a beater, especially over a decade ago. She must have a lot of accidents on her record. I pay less than that for full coverage on a luxury car today, despite inflation.
It is though. Unless you want to pay for it. I can't afford a couple hundred-thousand bucks every single month.
Informative. Still, my point stands. I don't have much, but I could sure as fuck pay that. And as for repairs, that's what savings are for and keeping at least 2000 in your savings at a time. If she doesn't have that at her age, it's more than just accidents on her record, but poor financial planning
It's called being a mentally ill autist with limited work abilities.
