@lurkeraspect84 what truck sells best? F150s?
They count the entire F series, and it's not even close.

"Ford’s F-Series, which includes the F-150 and its larger siblings, remained America’s best-selling vehicle for the 39th straight year and the industry’s top-selling truck for the 44th consecutive year."
 
There's an old saying in the car business, "If you can't make a living selling Fords (or Chevy's), then you just shouldn't be selling cars.

They sell so many, and have a customer base that will not even look at other brands.
 
Depends who ya ask.
In that case,...What you do think? Honestly. To me, it seems like a fuking train wreck. And TBH, he(Biden) seems, well, not very capable. We have lots of foreign issues, that seemingly didn't exist under the prior administration...Uproar damn near everywhere....Gas prices are insane. Job market....But I'm not as educated as some(you) on this...So its why I ask.

I think it’s been fine. Nothing can really be done from a policy perspective in the first 4 months.

Foreign policy hasn’t been an issue. Palestine and Israel punching each other is not a US policy consideration. They have a ceasefire which they came to pretty quickly. I don’t know if we had any role in that at all but, again, not really a US issue.

Unemployment and GDP aren’t appreciably better/worse than they were when he took office. No policy decisions would impact either in the first four months anyway. The stimulus package could be blamed, but it was needed. Any workers staying out of the workforce because they get $300 a week until August are outweighed by the good the Bill did.

The recent gas ‘shortage’ (panic buying outpacing supply which was actually enough for normal demand) didn’t have anything to do with the government. A private company hacked a private company. Biden did his job in lifting energy transportation regulations so gas could get where it needed to go. His policy decisions on fossil fuels and the keystone pipeline didn’t play a role in this. They likely played a role in gas prices, accounting for gas being a couple extra dimes per gallon. That impacts some people more than others. I don’t care about the price of gas, especially if it is part of a push toward other energy sources, which is overdue.

The border was flooded with immigrants who expected favorable treatment from Biden. The administration is doing what it can while in a global pandemic and working with neglected infrastructure. I like his policy plans going forward for immigration. I’ll judge when we’re clear if the pandemic.

Biden has been in the government for like 50 years and hasn't done anything about it, but now we're going to use this as a crutch. This is the problem with our system, people get elected and then only do what is necessary to stay in. We need term limits.

This also isn't a shot at just Biden, he just happens to be in charge now. It's hilarious how these guys who have been in government their whole lives tell us how we need to fix it, like dude don't tell me it's been broken when you've been sitting on your ass for 30+ years.

So you think Biden is perfectly capable of running the country?

I wasn't talking about the gas shortage---I know that wasn't a government issue. I am talking about gas PRICES. They have been through the roof. You don't think that has anything to do with Biden?

When everything he is doing is being scripted...When he is being kept from the public....When he is intstructed not to answer questions....Well, I get worried. And that worry only gets intensified when I listen to him speak.

Its weird....When Trump took office, and his administration layed blame at the feet of the Obama administration, that was scoffed at. BUT....when Biden does so, its accepted(logic). Why is that?

Politics aside...I mean brother, he does not seem mentally stable, capable of running the most powerful country on the planet. I do not see how anyone can listen to him speak and walk away feeling comfortable that our country is in good hands.

Biden bears (bares? bairs?) responsibility for neglected immigrant housing because as a Senator he didn’t somehow fix it? What?

Infrastructure? That thing I highlighted. Yes our neglected infrastructure is the responsibility of all our elected officials.

The infrastructure I referred to was specifically concerning immigration.

If we’re taking overall infrastructure in the US, infrastructure improvements are near the top of his agenda.
 
Don't actual BLM reps say outlandish stuff like this all the time?
From the co-founder of BLM Louisville:

Some things I’m thinking about that should change (in that Southern, black grandmama voice):

1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the **** they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.
