      Imagine living in a country where workers own their means of production, instead of renting in perpetuity from a bunch of industry landlords.

      Which is funny because buying outright is expensive for most people, but leasing at a ~3-4% APR (before Euribor shot up anyway) is pretty affordable so you can get a vehicle with lower mileage or even new. It’s just Americans who seem to make it super unaffordable by introducing high interest rates, super long terms and buying 98k trucks brand new. I had around a 300€ monthly payment on my Mercedes. Might’ve been 280 before Putin decided to be a cunt.
