Makes sense that reddit socialists support it when they're all too young to have ever had to go to the DMV.

I remember driving an hour to go to a different DMV because it was faster. We really did get home faster than if we had gone to the closer one.

As if Redditors could ever afford a personal vehicle, lol.

A solid portion of Redditors are old enough to predate Obama's Cash for Clunkers program that made personal vehicles impossibly expensive for most people.

That’s where they gave you a 10k check and they took your car and destroyed it right?

You'd be lucky to get 5k, and most of the time that was in vouchers for buying new "more eco friendly" cars instead of raw cash.

And yeah, by their own admission nearly 700000 cars were outright destroyed within the few year lifetime of the program.

I can't quite follow the logical chain from "cash for clunkers" to "making personal vehicles impossible expensive for most people".

The program gave people incentive to sell their old vehicles to the government, as opposed to selling them into the used car market.

The government then turned around and destroyed all said old vehicles.

Said old vehicles are now no longer in the market, meaning supply has dried up, so prices go up to compensate.

The used car market in American has basically gone bug-fuck insane as a result. Last I checked, I could stand a good chance at selling my current car at or above what I paid for it. That's not normal.

The bots who never have to go in shilling for it helps create consensus too I'm sure.

Its not that, they are just stupid as fuck and can't connect cause and effect. They got programmed with Marxism good so all these Marxist ideas just haven't been done hard enough. People just arent trying hard enough to make them work. This time it'll work you see!
