  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Woman are chasing the top 10% of high value men.

That isn't a lot of money. The price is prohibitive if you're dependent on a salary.

$340,000 is simply your product X a predetermined amount of sales.

Thus 1,000 sales x $350 (early adopters) = $350K

When you view money through hours you'll always come up short.

I do the same thing before I go on vacation. I take the cost of the trip and divide that cost by what I get paid per hour. The answer will let me know how long I have to work for the trip.

I am semi-retired. A couple of weeks ago, I worked on a Television Set with a player from the Golden State Warriors Basketball Team. The player's name is Steph Curry. The name of the T.V. Show is "Mr. Throwback.":cool:

It's a lot to spend on a car. Most people begin to bulk if it's over 50k on a new car.

Even people in sales that make good money don't go blow 300k on a car. At some point it doesn't make any sense.

It might have made sense during the 80's or earlier. If you bought a car in the 70's that would be worth 300k in today's dollars, chances are you'd still be driving that car today.

Today's cars just don't have the potential to become classics decades later even if talking about today's >200k cars. People are no longer capable reaching into the greatest depths of their soul to create timeless pieces of art:(

And AI is going to just dump a truck ton more soulless art onto society. So yeah not much made now is going to have that classical touch anymore. I've seen nothing lately that I could foresee having value later as style that would stand out.

We really are in the most bland times of all times now.

Today's expression of art in everything reflects the severe insecurities of people today.

Some movies are being shot in Eastern Europe. Maybe people are tired of seeing the same gentrified neighborhoods over and over. New isn't always better. It's what people have been told (the power of suggestion).

People with that level of discretionary income aren't usually working for others and purchase the vehicle through the business which brings additional tax breaks.

Lot is subjective. I think mobile phone prices are ridiculous for an item whose resale value can't be recouped. But there are people who happily spend $1,000 for the latest iPhone or related device. The real issue is appreciable vs depreciable assets and knowing how to use both to your advantage.
