Stellantis is a loser dumpster fire of a Company. The only good car they make is the Jeep Wrangler. They can’t even get people to buy their trash heaps.
Stellantis sold a total of 293,225 vehicles in January, February and March. That’s almost 40,000 fewer cars than the first quarter of 2024, and about 75,000 less cars than it sold during the start of 2023. Despite the recent declines, Jeff Kommor, head of U.S. sales, said there were some recent positive signs.
Stellantis makes most of their cars over seas or in foreign countries and imports them from France and Italy. They’ve been talking about shutting down their US operations for years including selling the HQ in Auburn Hills.
History repeats itself. Focus on keeping your debts low and afford a house with the mortgage that can be paid by one persons income. Not two. Remember how we got into the 2008 recession? And back then, homes were dirt cheap. People over extend their credit and get fucked because they are irresponsible. Hard to not do that in this economy. But the smart ones cover their asses.
While I agree that financial prudence is important—especially avoiding overextension—your argument oversimplifies the causes of the 2008 recession and ignores key economic realities today.
2008 Wasn’t Just About Irresponsibility The subprime mortgage crisis was driven by systemic issues: predatory lending, deregulation, and banks bundling toxic assets—not just individuals "overextending." Many responsible homeowners were also screwed by crashing home values and job losses.
Today’s Economy ≠ 2008’s Economy Homes weren’t just "dirt cheap" in 2008; wages were higher relative to housing costs. Today, prices have skyrocketed due to underbuilding, corporate investors, and low inventory. Telling people to "buy on one income" ignores that median home prices now require ~40% of median income (vs. ~25% in 2000).
Two-Income Necessity Single-income homeownership was feasible when houses cost 2–3x annual earnings. Now they’re 5–7x in many areas. The problem isn’t recklessness—it’s stagnant wages and inflated costs. Even frugal buyers often need dual incomes to qualify.
Survivorship Bias "The smart ones cover their asses" assumes everyone has equal opportunity. Many "responsible" people are priced out entirely due to factors beyond their control (e.g., student debt, healthcare costs, regional disparities).
Bottom Line:
Yes, avoid reckless debt—but blaming individuals for systemic failures (then and now) misses the point. The game has changed, and pretending otherwise helps no one.
There’s no point. This is one of those people who doesn’t realize they were born on third base and think they’ve scored a run all on their own. So fucking common and disgusting.
You’re right, by the way, about all of it. But good luck explaining systemic racism and economic hardship to a dipshit who thinks they’re smart and everyone who ever experiences difficulty is stupid.
P.S. I was born on third base, too. At least I can recognize the advantages I had and work to even the playing field. This asshole will be crying about “Biden’s economy” and Obama for some reason when they lose their job and house, too.
This is entirely false. The majority of their models sold in North America are made in North America. They import Alfa Romeo (if they still even do that, haven't seen any in a while), Fiat, and the Jeep Renegade. Everything else is made in the US, Mexico, and Canada.
