dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Nope, obama-medal fucked us pretty hard with the Cash For Clunkers program, which took a lot of viable used vehicles off the market. This was ostensibly to shore up emissions and fuel economy standards, but in practice it was just yet another classic Democrat "fuck the poor" measure. Couple this with manufacturers going way downhill since 2010 or so, and you get the inflated prices that we've been seeing ever since then, not to mention the vehicle shortage absurdity that happened during COVID lockdowns.
