"It's really expensive to be poor" is true enough though. People making $30k/yr can't afford a cash car for $5k and get sucked into 7+ year loans for USED cars. Which they can't afford to take care of. It's a vicious cycle.
Amazing how this country is set up that way, but there is no systemic biases built in, just ask Tucker..... I'll pass on the rest of my thoughts as this isn't a podcast.
