Why is this? I find it hard to imagine the appeal of so much grey. Half of them look like cheap plastic.

Supposedly it holds/people think it holds more resale value to not have loud colors.

I think it's less about the value. Special cars do well in loud colors. World rally Blue on Subaru, Tahitian Green and Barbados yellow on Honda, sunburst yellow on Miatas, all demand a higher price for the color. Loud colors reduce the pool of buyers. A yellow Rav 4 isn't desirable outside of a few people but they're not going to pay more for it. A yellow crx is a rare car and someone is looking for it willing to spend more for that cursed paint code than the same spec in white.

Ironic? Or timed specifically to overshadow it in the news?

But the US troops are still there.

Yes, sixteen years later troops returned.

Stay tuned to see if it incites another massive terrorist attack leading to permanently diminished civil rights.

I think it's meant to be blatant. The regime benefits from it.

Israel is going to be a marvelous scapegoat. If dispensationalists are really in charge, the US will turn its back on them for 3.5 years, the first half of the tribulation.

Have you not noticed they are on the offense? It's the poor who need to study Mao.

I may have bought a few bridges in my day, but at least bridges are a thing that exists.

Is the concept of local maximum tripping you up?

Just wait until TPTB crash the dollar on purpose to try to make their crypto stronger.

It's not an insect to be squashed once, it's a social retrovirus. There is no un-herpe-ing this one. It will require vigilance even after it's done.

I know it's pretty dubious if anything could be considered a true infohazard, but Gnosticism is up there in the running. I was warned, and it is indeed a hard mindset to shake regardless of low priors.
