I think we all realize that the less contact you have with police, the better it is for your health and longevity. Less police contact also is a good way to prevent lead poisoning

Speaking of cars, I cannot recall bringing up this old history before.

My son has this friend, this Black friend.

His friend is a millionaire now.

But my son would drive freely without ever being stopped for anything.

And his friend would be stopped four or five times a year.

He just got used to it.

LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, PLEASE.DLV stations are being shut down in many states in order to lessen Black voter registration.

Something is happening here, and I know just what it is:

Dealers can deal with banks

In reply to I understand that. But why

Dealers can deal with banks anywhere in the country. The banks are making some profit on customers they otherwise would not be able to access. The outside bank's rate may be lower than your bank's rate. Many people deal with the dealer for convenience.

I understand that. But why are the banks willing to work with the dealers but not with the customers themselves? The bank still holds the lien and the customers are responsible for payment, right? So why the middleman?

They are targeting the poor.

We haven't bought a car in a while but when we do we go through our credit union and not the dealership. The only time we ever went through the dealer was when the manufacturer was offering zero percent interest. I guess I'm not understanding the issue. When we get the price we want (or the best we can do) we do the financing through our own institution with no input from the dealer. Why get the dealer involved at all?
