That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree

Unless you’re an elf baking cookies, we all live outside of maple trees :-D

Apple has made record profits of $X billion dollars this quarter. However, that is only $3 billion more than last year same quarter.

You’re right, Greg. One has to wonder: will Apple be bankrupt next year?

Calm down, Thanos.

No but seriously, I know that for me, what gets me incredibly annoyed when this topic comes up, is the absolutists that rail on anyone wanting any children. Like, I get it man, you don’t want kids. But that doesn’t mean I’m wrong for wanting kids.

These people get very high and mighty on their claim that those of us that want children are selfish for “bringing them into a dying planet”.

You’re framing it in such a way to say “hey, maybe let’s slow down population growth”. They’re saying “we need to never have children again”.

One of those scenarios leads to the end of human civilization. If that’s your goal, you have bigger psychological issues than you realize. (Not you; the general you)

A 2 minute search at my local Chevy dealer’s website shows several new 2024 Silverados in stock at $47K.

Yes, that’s a lot. Yes, those are base models.

But it’s not the $87K you randomly found. Not to be argumentative, but you can’t cherry pick a top of the line truck and wonder why something that just “hauls stuff” is $87K.

You can make a solid argument about unaffordable cars without resorting to those tactics.
