  • Clearly you didn’t try finding a source yourself.

    I gave you the url and walked you thru the math. I dont know how much more i can bold your hand. Especially when YOU are the one who cant provide any citation better than the phrase you put into google and that you figure was provided by the same AI that gave us, “adding glue to pizza helps keep the cheese from falling off”, “the benefits of cooking with gasoline”, “how long ago was 1919 from today?” Ai-“20 years ago” and my fav: “you should drink 2 quarts of urine every 24hrs”

    Does that make you feel better?

    No but you thinking you have the factual highground by showing zero statistical framework and not being able to even find the source for your 50 million figure you got from google ai quick answer made me feel so much better than before i knew the level of your incompetence. I mean you literally proved my point in your own citation. It isnt that 50 million make less than 580 per month its that 50 million are below the poverty line that i broke down for you which means 50 million people make less than 17/hr for 35 hrs per week. Which you could find in your own citation if you read your source for how the poverty line is defined.


  • So im sorry but you gotta provide a source to that because its mathmatically imposssible to have almost 25% of working age americans making less than $580 per hour while the average income per year is $80,000 and the % of workers who are below the poverty line around 22% iirc and the poverty line per hr wage is $17/hr for 35hrs/wk. You see how those figures and the population numbers needed to make your 50 million true would mean there is like noone in the entire country making between $145/week (580 ÷ 4 weeks) and $595/week (poverty line is $17/hr over 35hrs/week.

    Honestly dont take any of the numbers i gave as word of god because i did this with as little effort or math checking but the figures are clean rounds of census or theworlddate.org (again i went with fastest means of demonstrating how easily that 50 million throws off like every reported labor, census, and unemployment firgure over the past 20 years I browsed. Also kinda odd that after several searches, many of wich used the 580 figure, and yet I did not see a single claim from any source that provided anything about 50,000,000 americans making less than the new income parametws.

    I mean think about it, if 50,000,000 or aka 1/4th of the US working age pop was making less than 580 per month, then how could the median retirement age in the US be 62??? Or the poverty line found to be $17/hr over 35hr work week??? Keep in mind, billionaies and trillionairs and every single transaction taxed thru capital gains do not count towards these numbers regarding income.









  • Fix-a-flat. Its compressed can of air and goo that will plug up surprisingly large punctures and keep your tire drivable to get to shop to fix. Keep 2 cans on my 4 wheeler and 2 cans in my truck.

    The other carry everywhere item i have on 4wheeler and truck is the battery charger/aircompressor combo units. They sell them at any auto store or walmart. Its a battery charger that you plug in to charge and also has a built in air compressor.

    Afrer a year or two of carrying both those items with me I stopped paying for AAA. Oh but also carry bags of cat liter in my car in the winter time for weight and get out of the ditch or snow pile aid. I guess add the cat liter and collapsing shovel to the winter everyday carry items.

    The truth is, mechanics tools in your car are fenerally useless. You arent carrying with you every part that could ho wrong or need replacing with you, there isnt much that can go wrong that doesnt involve buying a part to fix. I spent decade and a half driving around $500-$2000 cars because it made more financial sense than buying newer vehicle. Anything broke that cost more than half the car id scrap them and buy the next. The last thing ill add is that any vehicle 5 years old or newer is guna need oem tools to fix for like 70-100% of everything that could possibly go wrong with them. Even the dumbest most common shit like swapping winter/summer tires on rim certain shops cant do any more for a bunch of makes and models because of the change in rim design without buying a new tool. Spend the money on a rolling cabnet toolbox for your mechanics tools and rolling stackable toolboxes for your home repair tools because they are things you will buy once and store a life time of tools in for decades.

    Edit: add ratchet straps for anyone not redneck who wouldnt laugh at the notion of ever not already having ratchet straps in their vehicle, even for a car. Hood latch breaks-strapit, door latch or lock breaks-strapit, tailgate wont latch-strapit, muffler falls off after bottoming it out jumping the tracks-strapit, people ne3d ride to town who are gross or scummy - close ratchet in trunk and let strap free for scummies to hitch on skateboard or bike.
