The idea that there are systemic social and political constructs, purposefully or organically created, that disadvantage people of color is not in any way a new concept. And it’s obviously true. That’s at the root of critical race theory.
I can’t see how anyone can really factually question that. Nor do I see a way that will harm kids if they learn about it.

Whatever it is they're teaching your kids it's not critical race theory. The point of CRT is that racism is built into the structure of our society and is not dependent on individual racist acts by individual racist theories. (Not that those don't exist.)Quote:

Painting. Walls, ceilings, trim, exterior or interior, all of it.
Huh, now that it is drying it looks pretty good......
Nah, fuck painting.
Fuck painting, yes
Thirded. Fuck painting.
Fuck painting!
as usual, NPR has clear and concise coverage of the issueQuote:

My understanding is that CRT is an academic legal term and the field looks at how legal infrastructure carries an inherent bias against minorities.
Car dealers being so cocky these days. So there's finally a vehicle my wife and I are interested in. 2022 Civic hatch with the 6MT. Been talking to a salesman for a few weeks who I told to give me a shout when the hatch's become available. I told him originally I'm only interested in it if it has 3 pedals. First hatch comes on to the lot (CVT of course but NFW) so he gives me a shout to at least let me know they're out. Cool. I ask him about ordering one in manual flavor so he talks to his manager then gets back to me telling me there's no such thing and if I'd be interested in a blatantly overpriced 2019 Si. No. I literally had to walk him through Honda's website to get him to see the builder where yes, you can order one with a manual. He's like "Oh. I better tell my manager. Let me call you back." Calls back and is like "So with a $500 deposit, we can try and snag you one if it comes in, but with the market the way it is, it won't be MSRP." I'm like "WTF are you talking about? I'm willing to pay what the window sticker says, but not more than that." He gets back to me like "Uhh, can we meet somewhere in the middle? Like 3K over MSRP?" Uhhh, what? You guys were gonna try and screw me for 6K over? That would've been like a 30% increase. GFY. I told him I'll wait til shit gets back to normal before ever paying MORE than retail. Screw that. I'm out. Especially when there's like 12 other dealers I can check out. They might also say the same thing but I refuse to play games like that. Perhaps I should stick to geriatric Euro jalopies that nobody else wants (for good reason). Haha.
If yer tryna pay MSRP in this economy, yer gonna have a bad time….
I love Honda vehicles but every experience I had at the dealership (sales or service) is just spectacularly bad.
Well that stinks. That was my beef with my Mazdas too. Great cars. Terrible dealers IME. Maybe I should go back to Cadillac someday. Local dealer treated me like royalty there and was always a superb experience. Even when I'd come rolling in with my battered 90s hooptie. They made it actually worth the premium. Unlike my Volvo dealer which costs even more AND provides terrible service. No lube and not even the common courtesy of a reach around.Quote:

(Or really, any car at all - since all that demand is also putting unusual pressure on the used market too.)
There's a ton more detail, but the take home message is; just wait.

I can definitely play the long game on this one. Not playing dealer games. ESPECIALLY if I'm not getting exactly what I want. Cars are wayyyy too expensive these days at market rates. MSRPs on the econo cars are still decent, but too bad dealers gonna be pricks about it. But slimey is par for the course.Quote:

The assholes with just below MSRP listed on their web page, and then jacking the price to $6k over, is what annoys me. Pricing error on 3rd party web service my ass.....
With the low availability of cars, why are you looking local? Here’s one in Salem the only manual I found anywhere.

I just got really lucky on a new 2021 Corolla commuter for the wife; a mid-level trim package for under msrp of the base model. I was shocked at the discount. Maybe because it’s black?
