Gen3 Values impact from high Gen4 pricing

^ lol

 

It’s much more than labor costs, nearly everything has gone up. Labor is still a huge factor, just not all of the equation.

 

Fords and Chebbies are too damn high also. Even my muffins are too damn high

How many '23s have sold? Anyone know?

 

1.8 million and change. Big jump between 2017 and 2018.

 

234,768 according to this website

Oh yeah. I meant 234,768. LOL. I posted sales numbers of all 3rd gens. What's interesting about your website, RicerRabbit, is that to date the 2024 has some of the lowest sales figures. Guess people don't want to pay a premium for a taco.

 

If you believe the BLM and think inflation was just 3.4% then I don't know what to tell you. I believe my wallet and my eyes.

 

It could also mean that Toyota is just not building much yet, which can happen with a new generation.

Basically my point is, there could be many factors

 

Yeah, I don't think I explained myself well. It happens the older I get.

Inflation, which just for kicks let's say is 3.4%, and corporations raising prices because it doesn't hurt their bottom line, which let's say is 10%. So, in reality, the inflation we feel in the real world is closer to 14%. I think my point is the same as yours. Shit is expensive and while we get hosed, the larger corporations are raking in record profits.

 

It's a crazy bizzaro world out there right now! Keep buying gold, ammo, and freeze dried food!

 

Truth!

 

And then go out and buy MORE ammo! Hell I would have to get a bigger truck as my Taco is not capable to carry all muh stuff

 

Don’t they fail to include things like energy, electricity, and food in core inflation? They pretty much cherry pick all the stuff that you’re getting bent over on.

It’s kind of like we have record employment because people are now having to take two jobs to make ends meet and we don’t count people who don’t bother looking for work.

 

You would have to have brain damage to buy a new vehicle now

 

If that's true, then that number definitely needs to be higher. Much higher. Funny/not funny how they can use statistics to spin the truth.

 

That’s all statistics are.

 

On paper they exclude those because of their volatility. However, the bureau has an incentive to skew the data lower, to suppress the wages of public-sector unions with cost-of-living (COLA) adjustments written into their contracts.

 

Absolutely correct. Not everyone sees all angles. Forum Myopia.

 

yeah, always been a funny thing about just reporting people on unemployment as the unemployed. Always been that way, always been wrong. Prob. scare the shit out of us to hear the truth and not just now. The '80s were horrible.

 

By the .gov #s, if you're not "actively seeking employment" you're not unemployed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I's hazard a guess that not one out of 20 people even know that, and I'm probably being generous with that number.
Crazy shit.
