Fixing the cruise control !

I just bought another F250 diesel My Lord! they are expensive. My dad would spin in his grave if he knew what I spent. I negotiated the deal for a New 1999 F250 for him that he paid cash for. His hand shook so bad that I had to fill out the check for him. This truck cost 2 1/2 times as much as his did.

The cost of diesel scares me.

I'm eyeballing a 2020 Chevy Silverado, with 70K miles, in excellent condition, and still looks showroom new.

But the price is 27K and they are not willing to negotiate the price.

If I don't buy it today, it'll be gone tomorrow.

But, I may have to keep looking. That's a lot of money for a man like me right now given the current interest rate!

I agree as well, but with one caveat.

Spending all our time splashing love on the Middle Class,
technically a relatively small segment of the society,
is ignoring the WORKING CLASS which needs the most attention.

Everybody missuses the term "Middle Class."
It refers to a very specific demographic, literally,
but nobody cares about speaking precisely anymore.

The way we mangle English and vocabulary today bothers me,
and I'm not sure why
because at this point in my life, I really shouldn't give a shit.

The middle class is where the working class wants to be

We make more middle class Americans by helping those not yet there

It’s the American dream

Nor when he lied about "'carrying a weapon in war" or when he lied about his retirement rank. Gecko.

You are over-thinking things again Earl- and I don't agree with your politically motivated demagoguery attack and inaccurate accusations of him.
You are making extremely dubious assumptions!

And I find you to be a very petty, dishonest, and judgemental person to maliciously make these pernicious claims.
Next!

You're using the common but incorrect definition of "middle class,"
It doesn't refer to middle income.
It doesn't refer to being able to buy a home.
It doesn't refer to being able to educate your kids,
and maybe take a vacation once in a while.

That's how everybody uses it, but that's NOT WHAT IT MEANS.
The term 'Middle Class" was authored to refer to a very specific segment of the workforce,
not specifically tied to an income level.

Think of it this way.
If "middle class" really refers to how we use it,
than having a strong middle class means always keeping a third of the population below middle class.

Snore

The middle class can be grown

18 year old kids working low wage jobs while working them selves into better prospects and things like home ownership should be the lower class

It’s called changing the game

You just have little insight into what is possible to achieve

You're wrong, a regularly reoccurring theme in your posts.
I feel the very same way about it as you do.
This isn't where we have our argument.

I just prefer using the proper words.
Most Americans know what "middle class" means to them,
but they don't know the correct application of the term as it was coined by sociologists.

You can say "snore," Vinny,
because speaking precisely has never been important to you.

It's only "meaningless" if you're indifferent about speaking accurately.
I've never been.
You've always been.

Politically, we're mostly on the same side.
Sociologically, we may as well be different species.
Truthfully, I have more in common with my dog.

Your just butt hurt because I call you out for your lack of understanding of the current world

It’s ok I don’t mind

To me it means next to nothing

I’m here to communicate with people

You are here (at least in some part) to polish your own ego

I here to inform people on the facts

Not to show everyone how nifty I am
