It's the economy, stupid! (Finance-related news)

It's legit a great time to buy a new car if your income situation is stable.

Wife's lease is up in fall. Thinking we wanna get a 3row with captains seats and a trailer hitch but haven't decided what yet. I've only looked at Subaru so far.

Wish we could get a Tesla instead.

I thought the Ascent was pretty dope until I sat in it. And read it only has like a 2k towing capacity. Pretty weak.

[Boyiee]

Shitty. We were leaning that way from the start.

Did you drive the touring model? Driving it now and it rocks.

That third row has to be the weakest third row on the market. There’s literally like 10-12” between the seat and the back of the next row. I realize it’s mostly made for children but still. That won’t fit anyone over 10. The interior is nice though. Love the big moon roof and the accessories like the USB charging ports and stuff but that thing wouldn’t pull even a small sized trailer or mobile unit so what’s the point.

Still eyeing the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid minivan. Can get a loaded one for like 33k after tax credits.

My wife would be driving it most of the time, easier to deal with carseats (3 of them) in a minivan than an SUV.

I'd rather get a Model Y when the third row version comes out but that's like 20k more.

[archibaldcrane]

It's literally the only plug in with a 3rd row under 50k on the market right now.

We’re looking for the same thing now. Debating between the Ascent or the Highlander as the two main options. Want captains seats either way.

What?

SUVs and Mini-Vans are hella Karen. They are, in fact, the MOST Karen vehicles.

I have an outback limited 3.6 which is just missing the chocolate leather I think, love it. The best car I've ever had easily. I'm definitely partial to the ascent.

[Boyiee]

Like the car pretty much drives itself the only thing it doesn't do is turn corners. As much as I want that Tesla Y I don't want to put down 10 to $20,000, I like my zero down $300 to $400 leases.

The New York Stock Exchange trading floor will reopen this week with conditions.

Under the new measures only a quarter of the normal number of traders will be allowed to return to work.

Traders must also avoid public transport, wear masks and follow strict social distancing rules, with newly fitted transparent barriers to keep people apart.

They will also be screened and have their temperatures taken as they enter the building. Anyone who fails pass the check will be barred until they test negative for Covid-19 or self-quarantine in accordance with US government guidelines.

To return to their jobs, floor traders will also reportedly have to sign a liability waiver that prevents them from suing the NYSE if they get infected at the exchange.

According to the Wall Street Journal, traders will have to acknowledge that returning to the trading floor could result in them "contracting Covid-19, respiratory failure, death, and transmitting Covid-19 to family or household members and others who may also suffer these effects".

2.1M new unemployment filings

[archibaldcrane]

But continuing claims down 4M.

[Guitarman]

Any guess on how much of that number going down is people giving up? I'm reading a lot of stories where people still haven't gotten paid at all this whole time.

*Edit saw you said continuing claims, i misread.

[archibaldcrane]

Uh

The SBA is offering my small business a loan of $33,700

That doesn't have to start being paid back for 12 months

Not sure what the terms of this loan are, (specifically how much of it can be forgiven under what circumstances) definitely need more information here...
