As if you needed any more evidence past the obscene amount of conspicuous consumption John gets up to. He spends more on toys than most people make in a year. When many people are forced to keep driving their beater around because they can't afford a new car, John flaunts how he owns four Porsches and how he's agonizing over which one to let go (but only because the market's good apparently).
But that's what happens when other people cover all of your finances and you never have to lift a finger to pay your own way. Between 28 years of rich parents and over a decade with Screamface Frank, John has been fully insulated from the realities of personal finance. If Frank dropped dead tomorrow, I can guarantee John would burn through the remainder of his savings within a year. Oh, how entertaining it would be to watch him realize he can't keep buying Porsches on a whim, have to start selling off his arcade cabinets and tech toys and Peloton to pay the bills another month, or try to find a job that he has any amount of qualifications for (and then not get fired when he turns out to be a gigantic failure).
It would be truly delicious if John bought another Porsche without Frank's knowledge, only for Frank to tell him to get rid of one because they don't have room to store four Porsches at their house along with Frank's Challenger. The house only has a two-car garage, and it wouldn't surprise me if at least one of those is filled with crap they can't fit in the house proper (like the dogs ;_; ). They could always stash the Porshces in the driveway since it's pretty long, but car juggling is inconvenient and it's not a good idea for sports cars that you want to take care of. So they might be stored elsewhere, but that's an added monthly expense on top of everything else (vehicle registration, insurance, maintenance).I know it'sto think this way after all these years, but I'd love to think this was less "Ooohh, I should sell one while prices are high!" and more Frank screaming "Four fucking sports cars?! Lose one, John, or lose your meal ticket!"
What is the monthly outlay on something like this? Maintenance, insurance? Frank is well off but this is lunacy.
Google Street View shows only the Challenger in the driveway as of November 2020, but who knows what it's like right now:
So yeah, maybe John's trying to save face by claiming it's just because the used market is good right now when it's actually ol' Screamface pissed off at John. Plastic crap is one thing, but cars are much harder to store.

He would suddenly realize that all his toys wasn't investments, including the cars.

Okay, assume for the moment that siRNA will do better than mRNA (it might! siRNA does better against Ebola than the existing vaccine for example), you'd still need to get this to people through a vaccination (or drug) which is what the dude in the OP said. I think I disagree with Mims on forever masking and he's definitely doomposting about Omicron before we have concrete data, but this isn't a response to his statement at all, even if you are married to The Frank Wu, God of Science (don't let Fauci know I said this). Vaccinating every American, having all the drugs and infrastructure needed for those who catch it anyway, etc. doesn't eliminate COVID from existing, it's a global pandemic and variants will continue to come about for some time. It's entirely possible that COVID becomes like the flu with a new variant every year, but where nobody really truly worries about it, a siRNA vaccine that kills the known COVID's 100% doesn't matter if (and again IF, this is part of Mims' (and me) speculating) variants can happen that simply skip over the vaccine's protections.
For the record, from what I understand about what is known about Omicron to date (which could be totally wrong, I'm no expert like Wu), it seems like it may "re-infect" but the vaccines we already have still protect you from the symptoms significantly. The mRNA vaccines appear to be better than the flu shot still. The point is that a siRNA vaccine that's 100% doesn't significantly change things for Americans (where we're moving in on 80% of people having at least one shot of the existing vaccines), nor does it reply at all to anything in Mims' tweet.

Yes - those super high prices that you see things selling for are from trusted resellers who probably paid the previous owner half that on a good day

Am I missing something or is he selling the car he bought on a whim only a few months ago without telling frank?
I should know this but I find cars boring in general and I really can't be bothered with remembering which of his four german race car is which.
Something must be up, there is no way he's making any money on this transaction especially in this trash economy with the current gas prices and all. Has frank grown a pair and told him to get rid of one porsche so that he can park his car inside during the winter? I distinctly remember them having to pay up the ass for maintenance because one of the german race cars got caught in a storm. I know frank is fucking rich and probably doesn't care but I think he still need his car to function and the perspective of it spending the winter outside in boston might have made him press the issue.
Rate me late but the mask really slipped these past few years. They were never liberals, just temporarily inconvenienced fascists. Which is what they call actual liberals. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Yeah sure. Let's joke about jailing people without trial. So funny.

John has been spending A LOT of Frank's money lately, and even the money he gets as part of Chunky Yogurt's grift isn't enough to offset the costs of John's constant purchases of pinball machines, Apple toys, video games, 3-D printers, and all the other expensive shit they don't really need.
So I imagine Frank has told John that the gravy train is slowing down and one of the cars will have to go.

Shows how much he actually cares about the cars when he is willing to allow a vote on which to ditch. Really shows how much of a "car gurl" he is.
It's why he is the best lolcow. Others sometimes get a moment of self awareness, but John just changes the memories in his head to fit a new narrative.
A cow crossover at this time of year? Christmas came early. I like how the guy is onjectively correct but they just can't accept that. I even remember seeing posts a few years back about how they changed The Ancient one in dovtor strange from and "asian" into a white. These people being so ineot don't even stop to wonder why a Disney movie would change the ethnicity and origin of an "asian." Not like it would matter if they said he was from Tibet and not a made up country.
Or maybe...

Also he'd be amazed they aren't worth anything near what he paid for them especially after a few of his retarded "modifications" destroy their value because he thinks he's s00per hax0r man.
He's not that rich. Look at the shithole they live in. John's spending them into the ground.

Let me guess, John Flynt will blame the low value of his cars on Gamergate.

Yes and no. It's not easy to guess because their living conditions are both abjectly repugnant and really expensive at the same time...
It's difficult to estimate precisely their wealth; they live in a hovel-McMansion yes, but how much of it is because they needed to live in the district for john's congressional grift? I'm pretty sure frank has a high income and they're also childless (john would say childfree but lol) which gives them lot of financial freedom in comparison to a normal middle aged couple, kids are fucking expensive.
Also, before bribri ruined his life, frank was married to a low-maintenance asian chick, so for all we know he might have saved an invested wisely in his thirties. If he "bought the dip" in 08 and his ex wife didn't take everything after their divorce, frank might be somewhat wealthy. On the other hand, john's spending is getting out of hand fast. I don't remember who collated the known frivolous expenses for 2021 but it was in the high five figure range. Considering they might hide some other stupid expenses (like when they leave a porsche outside during a storm lol) and other necessary stuff like gas and taxes (I reckon they're pretty high in Boston) or that we don't know what frank spends his money on, I'm pretty sure they've been in the red at least for this year. I wonder for how long they can keep living beyond their means.
I said it before, but Frank is truely a mystery for me. He could do so much better than bribri. I think he's getting off on controling john's life from the bottom. Telling him to lose a porsche or else must have made him coom like never before.

This. In one of their filings when running for congress it was shown that Frank has a 401k loan (this was pre-house). More than likely it was used to get one of the cars or keep the scampaign afloat . He probably sold what was left of his stock from Wavelife to buy the house. This is something someone might do in their 20s but they’re approaching 50.

The house is not a McMansion, though. It's a raised ranch that was built in the 60s or 70s and was a working class house when it was new.

Yeah, and there are plenty of places to live in that district that aren't slums. Furthermore, their lifestyle doesn't show any other signs of reasonable income.
