20% to a car payment is stupid

Yes, the used car market is full of predators charging 200% more than what a junker is worth because there's nothing stopping them. And I also agree that keeping the minimum wage literal decades behind productivity breeds an environment where people are assigned a made up number that tells banks it's ok to gouge this person on interest rates. Full agreement with you there.

It's more expensive to move somewhere a car isn't necessary.
