This. This I could get behind.

OP, please take this succinct statement to heart.

I've owned or adjacently owned or been involved with multiple businesses. It always starts out as excitement, it always turns in to paperwork and lawyers and permits and licenses.

I loved the people, the customers (some), the employees, etc. but I always spent more time doing business shit than the things I loved doing. And it erodes your soul over time.

Now, if you end up with an award-winning thing and can afford to pay for some help with some of that stuff? Hell yeah. That's the dream. But it can be tough to get there.

No and most didn't build up savings during the pandemic...we all went into debt or spent savings just to scrape by.

As someone OE, absolutely.

wtf that price is insane

Agreed. I've reported things clearly in violation of their T&C and they basically tell me to pound sand.

My friend has two Rivian's and I find them pretty nice. Nice features, storage, etc.

I myself drive a Model S (generally regrettably, but...well, is what it is now).

But...the Model S is too big to me, I mean, it's fine, I've gotten 87% used to it, but I'd prefer it be smaller. So, obviously, Rivian has no options for me.

For cheap-ish personal use, the Zebra F-402.

For expensive...need to research.

2 years? More like 3-6 months.

Jesus fucking christ what a tough day to be able to read.

So angry right now.

You're probably joking, but...no joke...I worked briefly as a contractor for a company that aggregated data like this (lead exposure based on geographic region)...and a really odd number of "red" areas had high lead levels.

I am, of course, drawing my own personal conclusions.

I just died a little inside. Thank you.
