    I guess that’s one way to distract away from the fact that you can’t afford to repair your fender bender.

    Every time. Show me angry writing on a piece-of-shit car riddled with grammatical and/or spelling errors, and I’ll show you a Republican voter.

    Ensure you’re registered to vote, vote, and encourage others to vote!

      I’ve seen one that seemed to be an exception to the rule. It was an RV covered mostly in anti-Congress, anti-corperation, anti-vax, anti-Isreal, anti-China, anti-Russia, and anti-CIA stuff. It called out several notable politicians from both sides as well as the entirety of the CIA for being pedophiles. There was a complete and surprising lack of culture war stuff and a couple equally surprising mentions of the war on drugs being bullshit. No racism that I noticed, no flags or symbols, and no direct mention of the police or military. It was parked near a stop sign on my way to work for several weeks and I feel like I noticed something new and confusing about it every time I drove by.

      My best guess is that the owner doesn’t vote at all.

        What you saw there was a libertarian. Think “Republicans with ADHD”.

        It’s all the hatred and paranoia of a Republican, without the ability to focus.

          That’s what I thought at first but there was a bunch of anti-cooperation stuff and those guys usually love big business. Maybe anarchist but I’d expect to see some iteration of ACAB if that was the case. I eventually gave up on trying to label them.

    I paid back my student loans. I also paid over twice the amount I borrowed due to interest. I don’t think we should be cancelling student loans, I think we need to be cancelling interest on student loans. The government tax payers should not be making profit on student borrowing.

      Who is the primary beneficiary of an educated workforce?

      Businesses.

      Perhaps they should be paying for it instead of just reaping the profits? Through business taxes.

      Considering how much more expensive tuition is, I’m OK with them Cancelling the whole loan.

      The loans allowed colleges to raise tuitions by astronomical levels. The answer is regulate their pricing and the cancel.

      Loans should be cancelled and college tuition should be covered by taxes, as well as trade school and certain tools they need in trades to an equivalent value of a college education.

      It’s a bit of the old Alexander Pope

      Cease then, nor ORDER Imperfection name: Our proper bliss depends on what we blame. Know they own point: This kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heav’n bestows on thee. Submit – In this, or any other sphere, Secure to be as blest as thou canst bear: Safe in the hand of one disposing Pow’r, Or in the natal, or the mortal hour. All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee; All Chance, Direction, which thou canst not see; All Discord, Harmony, not understood; All partial Evil, universal Good: And, spite of Pride, in erring Reason’s spite, One truth is clear, “Whatever IS, is RIGHT.”

      Basically do not question why the preteen orphaned chimney sweeps cough up their lungs in the snow. Walk on by secure in the knowledge that they suffer at the will of God’s grace… not because of the inaction and cupidity of their fellow man that treats them as sacrifices for the common good oh no no no…

      It never changes with these godly types.

    Fuck you for posting my car here.

    Also, to all the assholes saying that my drunk driving damaged my fender, fuck you. It was a failed insurance fraud scheme.

      This is what’s hilarious about that ‘logic’. If you think god made everything and is omnipotent, then he also made everything you get upset about.

      Or, maybe this person is a radical feminist who believes that all brains are the same, and gender is entirely a social construct! /s

        It does seem odd how people often omit the contradiction between “women are more than their parts” and “gender is a construct”.

      I guess he’s ok with that word but bought the sign about loans with it already censored. I don’t know what I think of the use of a different font for “college student”. On the one hand changing fonts like that is ugly, but on the other hand it’s clever to use a font similar to the one a lot of colleges use in their logos. I do like the appropriate use of the apostrophe instead of the missing “g”.

      Edit: maybe if it was on a separate line?

      COLLEGE STUDENT

      Pay your F$#N’ loan!

      Tax payers won’t.

      (I’m not sure how to rephrase that last part to make it grammatically correct without changing the meaning.)

    All those bumper stickers don’t give them enough attention, apparently, so they decided to take up 2 parking spots, too
