☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: maybe. :) i'm aware that most of it is ~crap, but this is more like "99.99

% of value after 5 years and 100kmi, an industrial piece like a freightliner loses at most 70

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634483 << ubercheap lease rates are actually predicated on absurdly high residuals and so are resulting in cars that are losing only 40
% after 3 years. this is a bigger problem in the states than, say, uk. but still an increasingly noticeable phenomenon for manufacturers and dealers to prop up new sales figures in the face of a secular decline in interest.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you have no idea. it's worth 150
% there of what it'd be worth anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: the scam is very fuinny in particular because usg-run toshiba subsidiary westinghouse negotiated "fixed price" contracts with local baronies ; they happen to understate actual cost by at least 60
%. unsurprisingly, the "undue enrichment" concepts were temporarily suspended. had it gone the other way, and toshiba managed to make off with 250
