You were being a jerk saying that those losing their jobs had useless jobs. You are in no position to evaluate their jobs.

I don't know if the poster is a troll. If you believe it is, please skip the thread. Disrupting threads with troll calling is actually trolling itself. Please don't do it.

Also, that poster appears to be posting from the West Coast and, as such, is three hour behind us. The time is not so unusual in that case.

Okay, done.

Okay, I unblocked you. It looks like you started three threads in less than 2 minutes so the automated rules thought you were a spammer.

"My BF gets agitated and annoyed if I bring up a sad or dark news story. I personally like reading the news, reading deep articles and talking about current events. In my family, growing up, we often talked about the news and things that had happened around the dinner table. It annoys me that he always shuts down discussions and says its "too much negative energy", especially when something is interesting to me and I'd like to dive deep into it, like I did with my family growing up. Am I right to be annoyed?"

I'm not sure that was the same poster, but the poster is a troll nonetheless,. I have removed several threads by that poster.

It doesn't look like a troll to me. Moreover, it also looks like the OP abandoned the thread a week ago.

actually, I’m focused on finance vs buy and sell after 4 years. I know how to negotiate the price of the car, so the interest rate is the operative question. can you help?

If you are considering an EV, the available incentives are probably much more important than the money factor. Some EVs have such low lease costs these days, that you can get a single payment lease and not have a money factor at all. Be aware, that if you do this and then the car gets totaled, you will lose what you have paid. But if you want to take the risk you can save money.

Probably the best deal on the market these days is the Chevy Equinox EV that is eligible for the federal $7,500 tax credit and has a range of incentives. It is not unusual to get them for $15,000 or more below MSRP and leased for $5k or so for two years.
