  • Yeah, completely. I couldn’t figure out why the city buses were all free and empty. I was job searching also unaware of how bad unemployment was. But got one in march 2020 in the middle of nowhere so I moved into a camper in at the top of a mountain next to national forest. I only became aware of the pandemic once I started the job and mask mandates went in effect right when I got there. Since I already worked and lived far away from society I didn’t notice much the entire time. I never did a lockdown, I commuted and worked everyday like normal.

    To be fair that is the largest consumer model and essentially the most expensive OEM package you can get. And it is very powerful and capable tow vehicle, but the majority of people just use them as passenger vehicles and maybe tow their rv a few times a year(which can be done with was less of a truck).

    If you know modded trucks, whether that’s purpose built towing or just mall crawler, there are way more trucks over $200k than you would realize. If you ever see a welding truck, big 4x4 lifted trucks with custom beds, those are an easy $250k. But they are being used. Those guys make a easy 6 figures while living in hotels with nothing else to spend it on.

    I have less money in the bank than when I was unemployed, but I’m more willing to spend it because I know there’s more coming in. It’s a lot easier for me to just buy whatever food I want or get decent beer and not worry about it.
