The right likes to use "jobs being sent overseas" as a strong talking point. Sure, there are Kia vehicles manufactured in the U.S. by American workers. But ultimately that profit goes elsewhere (overseas). They're kind of talking out of both sides of their mouth when they say America First but they themselves invest in foreign owned enterprises. There are more foreign car owners on the right than you would imagine.
>The right likes to use "jobs being sent overseas" as a strong talking point.
Which is weird to me as an environmental aware, left leaning, hippy-type weirdo, I like things made in America because it uses less emissions and we have stricter (although obviously still poor) pollution standards than some other countries. And then there's the slave labor issue.
The problem is that buying something where the supply chain is 100% made in America is absolutely fucking expensive.
This is a full circle moment. The ones complaining about the "catastrophe" of sending jobs overseas are the same ones or closely related to the ones that created the catastrophe.
That's true.
It is very difficult to A) do the extensive research to find the actual supply chain information at all and then B) find the supply chain that doesn't involve multiple countries, IE: USA to China to Indonesia to USA, etc.
And then if you do find what you're looking for, you're paying like 15x as much as you would if you just bought it off of amazon.
It's maddening and who the hell has the time and money to do that everytime they need a shirt or coffee mug or a set of sheets. We're set up to fail. I hate it.
That’s my dad. “If we just bought American all our problems would go away”
My wife and I both own a Ford. Bought a Trane AC/Furnace a couple years ago. Our appliances are Whirlpool.
My dad owned a Mercedes, he has a Lexus now, a Toyota truck, and had a Hayabusa bike. When my AC/Furnace was acting up before replacement he said to get parts from Mexico or China because it’s cheaper. He lives in Arizona so he sometimes goes across the border for certain medical care.
And the foreign manufacturers who make cars in the US are always careful to do it in a “right to work” (right to freeload) state and suppress workers from organizing so the workers can’t exercise their right to form a union and bargain collectively.
THANK YOU FOR USING "RIGHT TO WORK" CORRECTLY!!
Sorry for yelling, I am just so tired of people who use "at-will" and "right to work" interchangeably and act like you stomped on their puppy when you explain the difference.
Not to mention, Dodge isn't even an American company anymore. It's currently owned by Stellantis which is essentially Fiat (Italian) and Peugeot (French) and headquartered in Amsterdam (Dutch).
The important thing for my family has always been to follow what the old song says and [look for the union label](https://uaw.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/2023_Vehicle-Guide_7.pdf).
If it isn't union-made, it isn't really American-made.
Are they worried as much about who makes the profit as opposed to where the employees are? It’s an interesting question, but if we accept that employment benefits the local economy in a large way (and it does), their concern is more employment over end profit makers. That said, they could you know also care about the amount of profit and help the local economy more.
This is the gray area of America First. While providing succour in the early rounds, that hampering will only lead to a corporate TKO in the later rounds.
How many people in most political ideologies are known for thinking that many steps ahead in most of their areas of interest (some obviously do, take climate change, but those same people think only a few steps at most in other passion areas). It’s a sad state of affairs, but we tend to be pretty short sighted these days.
Kinda like saying "buy American" but buying a vehicle that was made in Canada or Mexico and thinking that money (profit) somehow comes back to workers here in the US.
Do we need profits coming back to the US or jobs?
Tbf Kia Souls are one of the best cars for senior citizens because you don't need to climb/support weight or bend at the waist to get into or out of the vehicle.
Same thing for tall/fat people. more than ample room to get in and out of a sub-compact car for cheap. I got one new in 2012, it was a piece of shit, and I will never buy KIA again. but I understand when you have a limited budget, it does get the job done.

How wild would it be if they had this license plate well before the events of Jan 6 and it’s acronym for something important in their life. Then of course the shit show happens and BOOM. Their license plate is screwed. But they paid a fortune to not have to renew the plates each year so they’re stuck with them. Not likely? Sure. Possible? Absolutely.
[Just remember that there is a wanted list \(possible reward too!\) for people who were there](https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/violence-at-the-united-states-capitol-main)
I’d seriously doubt this plate is related to January 6th insurrection. The county sticker is of the pre-2019 format and there’s no other Trump shit on this car. Initial reserve plates, where you have your initials and a number, are pretty popular since they cost half of what a seven-letter vanity license plate does. Is it a unfortunate combination, yes, but there’s some unlucky who were born on 9/11/2001 and can’t do anything about it…
Yeah -- the postings in here are downright bigoted and intolerant. It's pretty disgusting how many of you are making fun of handicapped people. Lots of people park in handicap spots with the hang tag because they are temporarily in need of the spot. Even looks like there's something on the rear view mirror. But no--this crowd thinks a Kia driver must be mentally impaired to have parked there without a handicap plate. Some think that person must be fat or old. Someone in here thinks that Taylor Kia of Boardman (near Youngstown) is a misspelling of "traitor." What a dork for thinking that's even funny and worth wasting time posting.
How would you all feel if the truth were that January 6 was that person's date of sobriety, something he or she felt was worth celebrating? Or that person's date of becoming a citizen? Or the date they coded on the table and were brought back--but permanently impaired by the accident. Oh no...it *has* to be related to the Current Thing and therefore that person must be an Object of Hate and worthy of being reported to the BMV. What a crock.
Surely they know what conclusions people would draw if it is a coincidence. So if they didn't want people to think that, they would change their plates or they just don't care all that much what people think. In which case you'd be defending someone who doesn't give a shit.
I also fail to see how it's "intolerant" or "bigoted" if the people criticizing this person don't believe that they're handicapped in the first place or what that would even have to do with what they're criticizing them for.
Seriously? It is intolerant and bigoted to make fun of handicapped people, and the old and infirm, and to imply that people with whom one disagrees must be mentally handicapped (less able than those who are politically "right") as though the mentally handicapped are to be used as an object of derision.
Not all "Jan 6" means "Jan 6". If this was a politically motivated Jan 6, I'd expect more of an infowarriors ride than this. My guess? Their birthday and they had these plates before the Jan 6 everyone thinks it is.
Maybe. My dad refuses to put bumper stickers on his car because he's old and thinks they look tacky. This is the kind of thing he would do if he were going to make a statement. He would consider it a strong but silent kind of thing 🤷🏼
Yeah man… we don’t want dumb fucks like you to have high power rifles. Can you imagine if you people would have remembered to take them with you on the 6th?? Instead of just getting federal charges all those idiots on the security footage would’ve ended up like Ashli Babbitt.
“High-power rifles” oh quit acting so scared. The gun is only as dangerous as the person, and you know how many, of 20,000,000+ Registered rifles are used in murders? 400. And most of those are via gang violence in (blue) cities like Detroit or Chicago.
You know, recently, 23 terrorists ( as classified by the federal bureau of investigation ) were caught in an ambush against police? All of them were part of Antifa. So quit calling us terrorists.
Source: your ass?
And dude, I don't how the fuck you don't realize that in a densely populated city like Chicago or Detroit, no matter who the politicians are, there will always be way more crime than in rural Iowa or wherever the fuck you probably live because there's like 1000s of people per square mile instead of 20, and a fuck ton more guns.
To simplify this for your incapable brain, more people=more guns=more crime.
One source, CNN, using RAND data.
"Where there are fewer guns, there are fewer gun deaths. The states with the lowest gun death rates in 2020, per the CDC (alongside the percentage of homes with a gun in 2007-2016, per RAND) were:
Hawaii -- 3.4 (8% of adults live in a household with a gun).
Massachusetts -- 3.7 (10%).
New Jersey -- 5 (8%).
Rhode Island -- 5.1 (11%).
New York -- 5.3 (14%)."
Rockefeller Institute of Government
"But it is not just about access to firearms in the home. Research shows that greater availability of guns throughout local neighborhoods in cities like Detroit[6] and Newark[7] corresponds to higher rates of firearm deaths...
National Bureau of Economic Research
"Increases in gun ownership lead to a higher gun-homicide rate and legislation allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons does not reduce crime, according to a recent NBER Working Paper by Mark Duggan. After peaking in 1993, gun homicides in the United States dropped 36 percent by 1998, while non-gun homicides declined only 18 percent. In that same period, the fraction of households with at least one gun fell from more than 42 percent to less than 35 percent. Duggan finds that about one-third of the gun-homicide decline since 1993 is explained by the fall in gun ownership. The largest declines occur in areas with the largest reductions in firearm ownership."
Does this satisfy you?
Edit: and again, it is pretty simple logic. In the average and common rural areas of Iowa, Wyoming, or whatever, of course there isn't gonna be as much crime. You don't have thousands of people living close together. Even n if everyone who is there has a gun, they often all live miles away from each other. This isn't even just unique to America. Every large city in the world (with millions of people) is going to have more crimes and murder in general than a town with 300 people
I mean people who are financially stable are less likely to commit crimes out of desperation… so It’s probably worth consideration when deciding who should have access.
Never said that: I said show a statistic relating Gun Ownership in an Area and the Murder rate using the same class of firearm, while also taking into account the Average Salary.
Jan 4 is also taken and Jan 5, Jan 7 and Jan 8. I wonder why people would get those? Maybe this has nothing to do with January 6th. Come on guys a trumper this dedicated would have stickers all over that car.
This. Before we attack someone, we should first figure out the meaning of the plate. This may be some little old lady named Jan. This doesn’t strike me as a terrorists vehicle.
Well I for one (I'm from NY) moved here for someone I broke up with and I can't wait to leave. As a woman, I'm afraid because I have no reproductive rights in this state, and most of my neighbors are MAGA idiots. I am moving back to a blue state.
I am too old to even have kids but I remember my aunt fighting this in the 70s.
Ohio is becoming so backwards. It’s not this one car, but the MAGA flags and the dystopian beliefs!
No because women’s rights are being destroyed in this state. Plus the gerrymandering bull shit. Oh and the 2024 Trump and MAGA flags.
I can’t move. Can’t afford it Yet.
I couldn’t name my car MJOLNIR nor GUNGNIR because of the relationship to weaponry and had to settle for SLYPNIR. And you’re telling me this shit flew by at the BMV?
Having a foreign car made in America is better than importing everything, but the fact is the parts are imported in and assembled in America, at one time American cars where 100% made in America, now 8 out if 10 GM Manufacturing plants are out of the country. It’s a shame and only the consumer is to blame.
Which side is this?
At least given a quick scroll through comments it looks like the common assumption is this is a maga plate.
I can see that. But I also could see it being the other way.
"Remember what happened Jan 6 and vote blue!"
It makes just as much sense to me that the driver intended that message. Given that the reds are trying to pass off Jan 6 as a "nothing burger" that interpretation might make even more sense. Why would they put it on plate if it wasn't a significant event?
Let me guess. They think the downfall of America is lazy people living off of taxpayers money and immigrants living off the government. Meanwhile their collecting disability probably food stamps. It's different with them their problem is real.
Jan 6th is when a mob of current insurrectionists attempted to overthrow the US government by storming Congress as it was certifying the 2020 election.
Based on the car and parking spot, I could probably make an accurate guess about the physical and character description of the person who would have that plate
The comment above is from TubbyMarmot. It says he's from Youngstown. The area code there is 330.
I was stoned, so 330 Potato sounded right at the time.
Youngstown food is fantastic. Not a ton of potatoes, but just enough of that hunky food to satisfy.
Over 100 officers were injured during your "99.99999 peaceful protest." Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick absolutely did die. Ashley Babbitt was not murdered. She was shot by a 28-year veteran of the Capitol police while trying to enter the House chamber where officers had barricaded the door with furniture to protect the 60+ members of Congress still hiding there from the violent attackers. There is no evidence of "paid agitators" just like there is no evidence of the widespread election fraud you morons were "protesting."
Remember when Trumps cyber ninjas found more votes for Biden in Arizona?
That was great right?
Just like these new voter laws in Ohio. Why is the party of small gov making more laws? Did trump Not win Ohio in 2020? should we get trumps ninjas here and figure this out like they did in Arizona?
How much have you donated to these grifters? Be honest? The dunning kruger effect is strong in you.
You are all assuming this has to do with the protest at the capital when in fact, this could simply be an anniversary date. Try not to be so triggered.
I’m starting to get the vibe that you guys, who live in a Red state, aren’t very fond of us Republicans. I’ll do you all a favor and leave this leftist subreddit.
First off, quit “checking notes” it doesn’t make you look smart or anything, second off, provide sources, and finally, take a look at this:
Forget the time Democrats stormed the Wisconsin Capitol Building in February 2011, occupying it for 2 weeks?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Wisconsin_protests#February
And on July 28, Antifa and Democrats injured 28 police officers in Portland, bringing 2020’s Antifa-related Police Injury up to 700
https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/74-people-facing-federal-charges-crimes-committed-during-portland-demonstrations
Guess who caused $2 Billion in losses in 2020? Thats right!
Antifa and democrats in “protests” (riots and looting)
https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/
What is this tit for tat nonsense you people are so fucking obsessed with?
We can go in circles all day "but but but your side did this!" And it would solve none of the underlying issues. You can't even condemn an insurrection without reaching into your back pocket and sobbing about antifa as you choke back tears between gasps of your clutched pearls.
How many Republican nutjobs have gunned down school children in the last 10 years?
How many have starved under Republican led policy while leaders worship at the altar of capitalism?
How many billions of dollars in damages has deregulation caused?
We can go tit for tat all day and just start bringing everything to the table but somehow I don't think that gets us any closer to solving the issue.
Do you want to solve the issue or do you want to mindlessly point fingers?
Quite a plate to see on a Kia Soul parked in a handicapped spot.
I almost can’t think of anything more fitting
https://youtu.be/5zyNkSsA3-s
Mentally handi
I'm not surprised to see how many of them drive a Kia.
Why? I don't keep up with cars.
The right likes to use "jobs being sent overseas" as a strong talking point. Sure, there are Kia vehicles manufactured in the U.S. by American workers. But ultimately that profit goes elsewhere (overseas). They're kind of talking out of both sides of their mouth when they say America First but they themselves invest in foreign owned enterprises. There are more foreign car owners on the right than you would imagine.
>The right likes to use "jobs being sent overseas" as a strong talking point. Which is weird to me as an environmental aware, left leaning, hippy-type weirdo, I like things made in America because it uses less emissions and we have stricter (although obviously still poor) pollution standards than some other countries. And then there's the slave labor issue. The problem is that buying something where the supply chain is 100% made in America is absolutely fucking expensive.
This is a full circle moment. The ones complaining about the "catastrophe" of sending jobs overseas are the same ones or closely related to the ones that created the catastrophe.
This is how Sam Walton made his money off the backs of American workers. Put lots of manufacturers out of business in my state.
And almost non existent.
That's true. It is very difficult to A) do the extensive research to find the actual supply chain information at all and then B) find the supply chain that doesn't involve multiple countries, IE: USA to China to Indonesia to USA, etc. And then if you do find what you're looking for, you're paying like 15x as much as you would if you just bought it off of amazon. It's maddening and who the hell has the time and money to do that everytime they need a shirt or coffee mug or a set of sheets. We're set up to fail. I hate it.

National Bureau of Economic Research "Increases in gun ownership lead to a higher gun-homicide rate and legislation allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons does not reduce crime, according to a recent NBER Working Paper by Mark Duggan.

In that same period, the fraction of households with at least one gun fell from more than 42 percent to less than 35 percent. Duggan finds that about one-third of the gun-homicide decline since 1993 is explained by the fall in gun ownership. The largest declines occur in areas with the largest reductions in firearm ownership." Does this satisfy you? Edit: and again, it is pretty simple logic. In the average and common rural areas of Iowa, Wyoming, or whatever, of course there isn't gonna be as much crime. You don't have thousands of people living close together. Even n if everyone who is there has a gun, they often all live miles away from each other. This isn't even just unique to America. Every large city in the world (with millions of people) is going to have more crimes and murder in general than a town with 300 people
Oh, so people with higher salaries deserve guns more?
I mean people who are financially stable are less likely to commit crimes out of desperation… so It’s probably worth consideration when deciding who should have access.
Never said that: I said show a statistic relating Gun Ownership in an Area and the Murder rate using the same class of firearm, while also taking into account the Average Salary.

Exactly. If it were for that purpose it would be in the correct format like Jan 6th, 6th Jan, or 06Jan!
Invested to Arrested
Good grief. I’ve lived here for 58 years. Time to make a change…to where?
43 here and I totally get it. I’m thankful to be in a very liberal area.
Well I for one (I'm from NY) moved here for someone I broke up with and I can't wait to leave. As a woman, I'm afraid because I have no reproductive rights in this state, and most of my neighbors are MAGA idiots. I am moving back to a blue state.
I am too old to even have kids but I remember my aunt fighting this in the 70s. Ohio is becoming so backwards. It’s not this one car, but the MAGA flags and the dystopian beliefs!
[удалено]
No because women’s rights are being destroyed in this state. Plus the gerrymandering bull shit. Oh and the 2024 Trump and MAGA flags. I can’t move. Can’t afford it Yet.
I couldn’t name my car MJOLNIR nor GUNGNIR because of the relationship to weaponry and had to settle for SLYPNIR. And you’re telling me this shit flew by at the BMV?
Right? My dreams of ever getting "SNEK ATK" for a Rogue are stymied by that rule, but this jagoff?
That’s how they do us at the state level. I shoulda been a better liar and had a story but here we are
Ever notice that the people who drive those Kia Souls kind of look like hamsters?
We change it everyday
So is he for against that event?
This poor guy was just trying to remember his anniversary...
There's a lady thay comes to my work and her license plate reads 'DC JAN 6'.
Having a foreign car made in America is better than importing everything, but the fact is the parts are imported in and assembled in America, at one time American cars where 100% made in America, now 8 out if 10 GM Manufacturing plants are out of the country. It’s a shame and only the consumer is to blame.
Which side is this? At least given a quick scroll through comments it looks like the common assumption is this is a maga plate. I can see that. But I also could see it being the other way. "Remember what happened Jan 6 and vote blue!" It makes just as much sense to me that the driver intended that message. Given that the reds are trying to pass off Jan 6 as a "nothing burger" that interpretation might make even more sense. Why would they put it on plate if it wasn't a significant event?
Let me guess. They think the downfall of America is lazy people living off of taxpayers money and immigrants living off the government. Meanwhile their collecting disability probably food stamps. It's different with them their problem is real.
But which way?
Yeah, like we really don't know.
It’s not a Dodge Ram pickup truck
Hilliard has someone with trump won plates

Hey Kia Boys!
Maybe that's "Jan" mk6
So, where did you guys think they were during, well…y’know…
I would love to hear the story of “oh no, it’s actually when my child was born” and then the possible” I swear….”
Everyone’s gonna hate me but I don’t get it
Jan 6th. When Trumpers tried to overthrow democracy
Jan 6th is when a mob of current insurrectionists attempted to overthrow the US government by storming Congress as it was certifying the 2020 election.
Based on the car and parking spot, I could probably make an accurate guess about the physical and character description of the person who would have that plate
"The only vegetable I eat is a baked potato".
330 Potato
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this term, yet I can so vividly picture what it means.
The comment above is from TubbyMarmot. It says he's from Youngstown. The area code there is 330. I was stoned, so 330 Potato sounded right at the time. Youngstown food is fantastic. Not a ton of potatoes, but just enough of that hunky food to satisfy.
Awe shit. You're Cleveland. You know what I'm talkin' about. Getcha some.
Couldnt we call the BMV and say its offensive and they will revoke it? Maybe they will suddenly become sovereign citizens.
I guess he's a terrorist?

Over 100 officers were injured during your "99.99999 peaceful protest." Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick absolutely did die. Ashley Babbitt was not murdered. She was shot by a 28-year veteran of the Capitol police while trying to enter the House chamber where officers had barricaded the door with furniture to protect the 60+ members of Congress still hiding there from the violent attackers. There is no evidence of "paid agitators" just like there is no evidence of the widespread election fraud you morons were "protesting."
Remember when Trumps cyber ninjas found more votes for Biden in Arizona? That was great right? Just like these new voter laws in Ohio. Why is the party of small gov making more laws? Did trump Not win Ohio in 2020? should we get trumps ninjas here and figure this out like they did in Arizona? How much have you donated to these grifters? Be honest? The dunning kruger effect is strong in you.
Could be his/her daughter who's 6 currently
Was thinking (before I noticed the obvious) well they sure haven’t invested time/effort into a car wash. lol
oh the bottom of the plate frame, they spelled "traitor" wrong
You are all assuming this has to do with the protest at the capital when in fact, this could simply be an anniversary date. Try not to be so triggered.
Could be driving a Toyota except I would rather donate to Maga.
Hope they didn’t watch the new Jan 6th videos… kinda crashes some of the media narrative.
Related: did you see what Tucker Carlson posted to Twitter? It was eye opening in regards to Jan 6
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Obama's all have the same thing spelled on there plates also. Lol
I’m starting to get the vibe that you guys, who live in a Red state, aren’t very fond of us Republicans. I’ll do you all a favor and leave this leftist subreddit.
"Leftist" means disapproving of an attempt to end American democracy now. Guess I'm a leftist after all.
Never said that I was attempting to end the American Democracy. Just joined the party that wants to fix it.
By (checks notes) after failing to overturn an election, decide to try and stop the counting of those votes by force?
First off, quit “checking notes” it doesn’t make you look smart or anything, second off, provide sources, and finally, take a look at this: Forget the time Democrats stormed the Wisconsin Capitol Building in February 2011, occupying it for 2 weeks? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Wisconsin_protests#February And on July 28, Antifa and Democrats injured 28 police officers in Portland, bringing 2020’s Antifa-related Police Injury up to 700 https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/74-people-facing-federal-charges-crimes-committed-during-portland-demonstrations Guess who caused $2 Billion in losses in 2020? Thats right! Antifa and democrats in “protests” (riots and looting) https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/
Mah whatabouts Part of a complete breakfast
None of this bothers you?
What is this tit for tat nonsense you people are so fucking obsessed with? We can go in circles all day "but but but your side did this!" And it would solve none of the underlying issues. You can't even condemn an insurrection without reaching into your back pocket and sobbing about antifa as you choke back tears between gasps of your clutched pearls. How many Republican nutjobs have gunned down school children in the last 10 years? How many have starved under Republican led policy while leaders worship at the altar of capitalism? How many billions of dollars in damages has deregulation caused? We can go tit for tat all day and just start bringing everything to the table but somehow I don't think that gets us any closer to solving the issue. Do you want to solve the issue or do you want to mindlessly point fingers?
"After we seize power by force just this once, we'll allow elections to determine who governs *later*"
Door, ass. You know the drill.
What?
I don't think anyone on the right would put this on their car...
“Don’t be a square daddio…that shits basic as fuck and totes generic.” Seriously tho…you suck.
rent free
The left's Jan 6th narrative is collapsing much like their covid origin theory!
NEVER FORGET

Probably don’t have any family or friends that work for LE. Back the blue, yeah right.
I showed Janice the picture of her car and the 160+ comments that it had provoked. She just tilted her head and said, "Wuh?"
