Monthly payments depend on loan term and interest rates as well as principal. I don't think that is a good way to determine whether you can afford something.

the bigger problems seem like legal liabilities from being so obviously easy to abuse by minors

You get carded for alcohol deliveries. It's not any less secure than buying alcohol at a grocery store.

Well, I'm going to go find out how many they bought. I doubt it will improve my opinion of the situation.

According to an October report by Market Watch, Americans needed an annual income of at least $100,000 to afford a car, at least if they're following standard budgeting advice, which says you shouldn't spend more than 10 percent of your monthly income on car-related expenses.

This is a dumb way to determine whether someone can "afford" a car.

We keep engineering new and ingenious ways to extract more oil from mostly-not-oil, but that’s destroying the planet.

Before we were doing that we were destroying the planet by killing whales and burning coal. We haven't quit burning coal though, but we have managed to cut back on killing whales.

Elon’s Hyperloop was never a good idea, and it’s fortunate it was never actually built and probably will never be built.

It actually looks like China is going to give it a shot: https://twitter.com/PDChina/status/1746449572325638166

It works like that for me too. Even better if your list is short enough to avoid getting a cart.
