The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[DewDiligence]

[OT]—My RAV4 hybrid is getting 40mpg in city driving, just as advertised.

On a different topic, the car dealership where I bought the car does not understand COVID. To close a deal, they have buyers sit in a tiny, unventilated room with a purported finance specialist, who is really just a salesman pushing up-sells such as extended warranties. (I declined all of them.) The staff people wear poorly fitting masks. For anyone who has not had COVID and has yet not been vaccinated, I would recommend staying away from car dealerships.
