Welfare Nation: From EBT... To AMG

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In America, where work is punished, it's only fair... an AMG in every driveway.

Blame the dealers. Got one of those German uber cars a few months back, would have been a damn shame not to after the test drive. That, and the dealer giving me 0.9% on up to the FULL value of the car. Don't know how they make money if they're financing this with 1-2% gov paper.

How could one not?

Some years ago when the auto industry was in the Real Shitter, Mrs K needed a new car.  So we shopped, found what she wanted and when shown the deal, something like 0.5% at the time, I got read to jump all over it and paused with a WTF too good to be true moment.  Looked at the numbers and the true cash on cash cost was something in the 10+% range. 
I mention it to the guy, he just nods his head and says "Well, that's what they give me."  He knew the low rate math wasn't for real.
They lie about the rates.  Check the #s before you sign.

Ok, you utter imbecile, go take a look at the background of the pic, what do you see? now go look up where EBT Ca. is located...now go look at the location of that ad. see something similar?  Its pretty common knowledge...well to educated people, not the typical ZH morons such as yourself...that a big business (such as EBT) would incorpoate in NV because of its low corporate taxes.

I think everyone knows it's not what's implied Diablo. You're right, this almopst certainly refers to East Bay Tire's Big Dawg tires in Fairfield, the same city this car is being sold in. But it symbolizes a problem that, along with bankers' antics and Neocon wars, has led to the doom of America.

The downvotes are impressive, but I fact checked and EBT could be East Bay Tire Company as you mentioned and Fairfield (in the screen shot of the OP) is smack in the middle.

Makes sense. No one on EBT can afford a ride like that (without a side business).

ZH forums have gone to shit. No one fucking thinks anymore.

That said, it is a fucking funny screen shot!

I made the mistake of stopping at a walmart in a lower income area once to pick up a needed item. Fat slob woman in front of me pays for her disgusting high fructose laden garbage food with her ebt card. She had 4 kids with her all hitting one another and swearing. After I quickly checked out, I walked to my 5 yr old VW Jetta, paid off with my hard work. She got into a brand new Cadallic Escalade. Unfucking believable.....

There’s a pretty fun y trick for small independends to get cash quick.

You buy a car on lease and pay for it for 5 years with a buy option of 20% after that.

1 week after the lease started, they sell the car to another small independend who does the same.

They might not get a loan but they do it through car leases.

And the more expensive the car the more money theycan "loan" to finance their company.

 

And the shit gets even funnier!!!!

 

THEY B ELECTRIC CARS THAT ARE 120% DEDUCTABLE FROM THEIR TAXES!!!!

IT’S A WAY TO TAKE A 150K LOAN AND MAKE 180K ON IT!!!

And credit scores? Who cares, the lease companies know you’re good for it and help you with your tax returns.

What can we do about it?

Here we even pay taxes in advance for a year and returns come a year later than usual since last year.

They’re stretching that rubber on small independents even more.

And the costs for administration just keep getting higher and higher also.

If you guys think you’ve got a bad, try to run a company in Europe.

 

Do you know what they say about Belgium?

If you make it here, you can make it anywhere. The entire system is just build to twist your balls and fund every promise our politicians make.

My wife has a friend who's husband is charming, good-looking, totally charismatic, but it otherwise a completely typical  ghettoland deadbeat who spends his days playing video games, hanging out, running little scams here and there, and almost certainly chasing a bit of tail on the side.   He has never held down a job for more than couple of weeks, despite the fact is he young, healthy, and perfectly able to work.   The wife and friend has historically been the breadwinner, and she has always toiled to keep some kind of roof over the heads of themselves and their two young children.

He got himself into a bit of real legal trouble with a bad credit card situation, and the family had to flee NY.  The ended up in California, on the edge of being homeless with barely enough to feed themselves.

Then the state stepped in.   They now have "shelter housing"  (which is a beautiful, brand new 3BR apartment with granite kitchens, etc), free day care,  free health insurance,  food stamps, WICS, and some kind of cash allowance to boot.   The apaprtment  wasn't ready so that state has put them up in a Holiday Inn Express for 3 weeks.   They went out for sushi to celebrate.  Two nights in a row.  It's not totally free.  At some point, they will be expected to pony up $800/mo. for this package.   And there is a time limit.   5 years.  At which point they will be transferred to a different program, which might even be more generous by the sounds of it.

He can play vids all day.  I toil 60 hours a week.  And I'm pretty sure he has more disposable income than me.  

I'm a tax donkey for the top and the bottom, and they both live better than me.  So yeah, I'm ready for a revolution.

Funny story, on a trip to China once, out trekking trying to understand what I was seeing. I saw this man in a wheelchair sweeping the street and I asked my travel host what was up with that.

She said in China if you don't work you don't eat.

It's unfortunate and a real reflection on human nature, there is no medium.

And because of this it's clear which country will rise above the other.

So if you are in the USSA, jump on the welfare wagon now everyone is doing it.

What does it matter? Either one of them would be more intelligent and better able to carry on a rational conversation than you one-note Nazis appear to be.

Every subject is turned to hatred for the Jews. Every comment is about hatred for the Jews. Every opportunity is seized to make some inane comparison to the Jews.

If I were to say the word "carrot"

You would respond with "worthless Jewish food group"

If I were to say the word "wristwatch"

You would respond with "those goddamn pawn shop Jewish bastards".

Stop blaming others for your own inadequacies. If they have tricked you and cheated you, it seems likely that the root cause is that you are so fixated on a single concept of life that ANYBODY would find it relatively simple to trick and cheat you.

Over here, people quit their job, apply for social housing which is also pretty nice, appartment if you’re alone, a house with a yard if you have children.

They pay 75 to 100 euro’s for it a month which working people would need to pay up to 1000 euro’s a month for the same thing.

And once they get the house, they start looking for a job and they get to keep the house for 75 to 100 euro’s a month.

And even if they don’t get a job:

They get like 900 euro’s a month minimum. The house costs 100 euro’s and they can spend 800 on luxury.

On the other hand.

A normal person who works gets 1600 to 1700 euro’s a month

These pay 1000 for rent and get to spend 600 to 700 a month minus car costs to get to work and they need to work at least 8 hours a day.

Guess who’s the smart guy in the story?

And we believe this system is normal and can last forever...

Here in the US, states get block grants for TANF (TEMPORARY assistance for needy families) and kick people out of the program if they can't find employment after 36 months. After that, their kids go into the foster care system if their families can't manage.  Tough love in the bastion of capitalism...but ZH doesn't like telling THOSE stories. Wouldn't want to get accused of being SOCIALIST. So much better to search out stuff like this that feeds propaganda to the "libertarian" crowd, while serving the purposes of the 1%.
