Got any Carrie Kelly headcanons? She is such an underrated Robin

For those of you who are new here, Carrie Kelley is technically the third Robin after Jason. She's had a couple of cameos across different universes (like as Damian's acting teacher), but the majority of her appearances are confined to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns where she is a 13-year-old girl who takes up the Robin mantle herself after an aging Bruce returns to the vigilante scene. Her canon sucks, but since I'm out here butchering the batfam anyway, I might as well revamp her characterization.

In regards to her place in the batfam, I think 13-14 is a good age for her because it helps fill in the gap between Tim/Duke and Damian, plus it adds balance because the rest of the girls skew older and it gives her more room for growth. Also 13 is prime Chaotic Weird Girl age and Carrie would absolutely be one

And I know she was briefly Batgirl in canon but can we also revamp that? There's a Batgirl void that she can totally fill but canon is like unseasoned boiled brussels sprouts. In my mind she's Batgirl but with a better costume, different mindset, and keeps her fun and distinct firecracker slingshot

Every time she goes shopping with Alfred, she comes back with another candlestick. She's up to ten now and they're all sitting in her room, fire hazards waiting to happen

She volunteers to help with the kindergarten and she's really good with kids... when she's not acting like one herself. She comes home after the first day with finger paint all over her face

A carjacker tries to break into the Batmobile and she just walks up to them like "Excuse me that's not yours"

She always keeps the dictionary up on her phone in the unlikely event she needs to prove to someone that contranyms are thing

She knows exactly what certain words mean, but pretends she doesn't and uses them wrong in the family groupchat because she knows Bruce will ask, which forces the other batkids to not only explain what a malewife is, but also correct Carrie by demonstrating how to use it correctly

She remembers every Taylor Swift song by heart and she's not ashamed

"Any pool is a public pool if you have the initiative," she says before selling wristbands for Bruce's pool

She gets the pets their own phones so she and Damian can text them throughout the day

She asks Bruce before taking any money, but the way she frames it is weird. For example, she'll ask him for a hundred bucks to buy some video games because that's the market price only to get them for $20 at a garage sale and spend the rest at on a really expensive burger

She's one of the privileged few to come across a person buying 300 watermelons in real life

Her invitations to hang out are like "Wanna come over? We can watch a movie or clean the Batcave, whatever works"

Damian is the "don't eat meat" type of environmentalist, but Carrie is the "I'll spam you with sad turtle pictures so you'll recycle plastic" type of environmentalist

She stocks up on Teen Spirit deodorant so she can say she smells like Teen Spirit

Her makeup skills are... not good. Jason mistook her for a Joker sidekick

She also snuck into Jason's phone and hid one of his Robin pics in his profile

She clips her nails during Bruce's briefings

Carrie and Duke go to the bookstore and see who can find the most Written By A Male Author book

She drinks water with a dash of olive oil

At galas she wears suit tops with skirts and light-up Sketchers

Carrie also doesn't care too much about gender or pronouns. She has a "she/they" pin on her backpack, but that's only 'cause she found it on a bathroom floor and liked the color

Her favorite nap spot is Bruce's favorite chair. It's a huge plush armchair and she's small enough to pass off as a cushion, so Bruce always has to double-check before sitting down

Carrie can read cues in other relationships, but not her own. After Kon offers to refill Tim's drink she's like "ooh he likes you" but when a kid at school gives her flowers on Valentine's day she's like "I think they were just being friendly"

She's the only Robin not to have dentists ask about broken or missing teeth

At a sleepover, she and a few other kids catfished someone on Hinge using a terrible teacher's picture

Her drawing skills are pretty good (not Damian level though) and one time when Dick was sad she drew him as the Dreamworks crescent moon kid

She's friends with the old lady that shops at Trader Joe's the same time she does every week

She puts all her phone calls on speaker. ALL. OF. THEM

She goes to Canada on a short mission and promises to bring back souvenirs. She brings bagged milk

The Pi's gone bad...

TL;DR: Raspberry Pi showcased police surveillance and police activity in a positive light. And that makes the Bit upsetti spaghetti. ------------------------------------ I don't know how many people on Tumblr are into geeky computer tech, but I felt like making a blog post to vent my frustrations about a recent goings-on. There's a company called Raspberry Pi that's been around since 2011 (with early development of Raspberry Pi starting around 2006). They're known for making small micro-computers the size of a credit card. It was originally an education initiative to get kids interested in coding. These computers run Linux, have a variety of ports for various uses and flexibility, and have a very low introductory cost. They've been utilized in all sorts of places. -Hobbyists used them in custom builds for robotics and automation. -Coders have used them to create all sorts of programs that help with entertainment, productivity, internet security, etc. -Educators have used them to help teach the fundamentals of Linux to students. It's a group and product that I've supported for a long time.

WELL, on December 8th, Raspberry Pi made a news post on their site announcing that they've hired a new person. Which is totally fine. It's good to see company growth. Only, this person was an ex-policeman in the UK surveillance division.

In the interview for the article, this ex-policeman said: “I used to be a police officer tackling serious organised crime and terror threats across the east of the UK. I was a Technical Surveillance Officer for 15 years, so I built stuff to hide video, audio, and other covert gear. You really don’t want your sensitive police equipment discovered, so I’d disguise it as something else. The variety of tools and equipment I used then really shaped what I do today.” "I started playing with Raspberry Pi hardware at home around the same time I started using Linux at work. I have used Raspberry Pi a lot in various police tactics over the years. They were dependable, low-cost, portable, and supported by such an awesome community. I tried almost every ‘fruit-based’ single-board computer out there, but I always came back to Raspberry Pi." Now, I don't blame Raspberry Pi for their computers being used as surveillance devices. It's a very open-source type of device. People are gonna get ideas. And sadly, using a micro-computer for this kind of job makes sense. HOWEVER, Raspberry Pi have full control over who they choose to hire. AND they have full control over what they choose to post to their website. If this hire and this information are things that they are happy to showcase to the world, I can't interpret this any other way than them endorsing their product for secret surveillance. Others saw it the exact same way. People went to the replies on Twitter and Mastodon to voice their concerns. But the social media manager chose to start blocking and hiding posts from people that were talking negatively about the ex-policeman and/or the article. To be fair, there were a LOT of hateful and trollish posts. And I DO NOT in any way support the harassment of anyone. Still it's not a good look to silence criticism on something so potentially contentious. It's ESPECIALLY not wise to word your replies to these comments in a dismissive and antagonistic way.

I don't know if they're still blocking people and hiding comments at this point. There seem to be plenty of angry comments left under their Twitter post. So I'm gonna guess they decided it wasn't worth trying to fight. On top of this issue, people continue to point out that it's legendarily difficult to purchase a new Raspberry Pi computer nowadays. The retailers that sell individual units can't seem to keep steady stock. This means that you either have to be VERY lucky when a supply drop happens, or you have to buy one of the scalped units being sold on either eBay or Amazon. The deluxe model is routinely sold for twice it's normal price.

That being said, if you're a business and want to buy a bulk shipment of Pi computers, that option is still readily available. Seems like the Pi company is more than happy to move inventory around if it means getting bulk batches out the door for businesses that want to stick Pi computers in random things (whether it be service devices or consumer products). And that's who I think Raspberry Pi's current REAL customers are: big businesses with big pockets. I don't completely believe that they hired this ex-policeman for the sole purpose of pushing the idea of using Pi computers in covert surveillance to law enforcement. That hinges on conspiracy talk. But I DO have a suspicion that someone in the marketing department saw the opportunity. The interview at times has an ere of advertisement. It puts Raspberry Pi computers in a position of looking like the perfect solution for police equipment. This is all my own interpretation. I can't really know 100% what their intentions were with this. I could be completely off on my assumptions, and they could turn around and say that it was a complete misfire on the PR side of things. What I do know is that I am now much more wary about Raspberry Pi. I once had interest in seeing how their newer units performed. But now I can't in good conscious hand my money over. I'm a major advocate of only allowing the police what they need within reason. And surveillance like this steps over that boundary. I was one of the first people who ordered the OG Raspberry Pi. I have great memories of learning Linux and tinkering around with it. It's one of the big reasons why I'm so interested in Linux today. I hope the Raspberry Pi company takes a minute to remember where they started. To remember their original goal. Making learning and computing accessible to all.

Fun fact to share with anyone who tells you about how they vote Trump because of prices or the economy, the "gas and eggs" lie that even leftists seem to believe...

Eggs have gone up in price around $0.70 since 1980 as has gas when adjusted for inflation.

So no it wasn't a choice between wallets and human rights -- because those prices haven't changed much.

It's taking more of your money to pay for essentials because of an artificial housing crisis (of Republican support), an out of date utility system (of Republican support), and wage suppression (of Republican support.)

You can check here

for prices on goods like gas and eggs and milk, adjusted for inflation every year.

The idea that Republicans are better on the economy is a lie. It's simply not supported by actual data. If we were in 1925, then we could debate the value of liberal and conservative economic policies -- they were both largely untried, simply theoretical math.

But it's been almost a century and every time conservative economics have been put in play, a market crash and recession inevitably follow. When liberal policies have been put into place, we rebounded from the biggest economic disaster in history to the longest period of sustained growth, created the middle class, funded not only our own part in WWII but a goodly portion of the UK's as well, paid to reconstruct Europe, increased education, created a safety net for our elderly (FDR post Hoover depression), had an economic and technological boom, a soaring stock market, ran a budget surplus, (Clinton post Reagan/Bush recession) restored industries, improved healthcare, came back with 72 months of sustained job growth (Obama post Bush 2 recession).

Now I will not blame Trump for the economic problems in his last year in office -- pandemics can happen to anyone and while better economic policies could have helped, that's theoretical which is up for debate, and I'm here to address FACTS. Hard data from unpartisan sources that is publicly available FACTS.

And Biden's "terrible" economy? Yeah we had the lowest inflation in the western world (EU inflation in 2023 was 6.59% versus US inflation in 2023 was 4.1% -- as of October 2024, inflation was at 2.6% versus Trump's 2.3% inflation rate in 2019) at a time when inflation is INEVITABLE (literally every pandemic has an inflation period after it, since forever -- look at the Black Death sometime), the highest GDP (21.43T for 2019 versus 27.36T for 2023) and GNP (21.73T in 2019 versus 29.03T for 2023) in history, jobs growth every quarter (unemployment rate of 3.7% in 2019 to 3.6% in 2023, which means we not only got back everything we lost from COVID, but then some), and an increase in the median wage from $35k per person per year to $59k.

For those of you who have some weird devotion to tax rates in 2019, the federal income tax rates were 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. In 2023 they were... exactly the same. Your tax rates remained unchanged by Democrats at all. Also the largest budget deficit in history occurred under Trump's first administration. Personally I find these less than irrelevant (FDR put on a top tax of 94% and spent more than anyone knew you could spent and it paid off spectacularly.) But if you want to claim to be a fiscal conservative (tell me you don't understand history or economics without telling me...) then you should care.

The stock market is the worst indicator of economic health as its based on perception rather than value and has relatively little effect on daily life for most people. So how did it do under Trump (pre Covid number) versus Biden?

The S&P 500 value as of January 2020 was 3289.29. As of October 2024, 5705.45.

Again, those are all publicly available numbers.

STOP LETTING THEM GET BY WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY BECAUSE NO THEY ARE NOT. THEY HAVE LITERALLY NO DATA TO SUPPORT THAT.

Economics is a hard science. Data matters.

We can debate the role of religion or parental control or the fundamental nature of man. But basic arithmetic? No, sorry that question has been answered.

And anyone who tries to use it as a justification for supporting Nazis is wrong, lying, or both.

pulling threads #241323

inflation being spoken of as ‘balloon expands when air blows in’ is embarrassing, terrible, awful. if such childish analogies are attempted in science conferences there will be a lot of humiliation that awaits the speaker. i will now try my own idiot-man’s version of trying to work out my thoughts. from what i understand, the govt prints money into existence lets consider a period of time when it has printed quantity M units of currency. if the country in question now creates goods and services whose value reliably equals M, there is parity - there’s growth because the quantity M in circulation reflects all the goods there are or all the infrastructure there is in the country. now what is G’s best route to do this? let me consider options.. it can either hand this M units of money to banks who then loan it out to companies creating debt that collects interest (which when paid back fully, is M+dM including the return on the bank’s investment), or it can freebie ‘hand it to bigwigs’ by slashing interest rates for bigwigs to near zero. in this second case, real money with real value that can be exchanged for goods is left unconditionally with bigwigs who are ‘trusted to be geniuses wrt investing’. the hope, is that they will create huge manufacturing and other jobs, that build *infrastructure* - i.e. something real and tangible that comes out of said money M as we discussed earlier. now do these hotshots do what we expect them to do? no. the myth seems to be that they will make big factories, employ people to make pots out of clay, machines out of mud, clothes out of plants blahblah and give them salaries for the value they add. the salaries in turn get used up to buy these goods, people carry wealth and ‘development’ as measured by how much total goods+money they hold as their own. in reality, a lot of this money flows out of the economy and lives in shelters. a tiny amount gets invested, but not in anything that reflects value, but in a ‘stock’ that others are encouraged to invest retail in, essentially a rigged exercise the odds of which are usually stacked in favor of the bigwig. the other awful solution is for the govt to take some of the spending and manufacturing tasks into its own hands, and make sure money is handed out after the value is created. here too, people are people and they leach - there is corruption, money flowing to shelters, unfinished useless goods ‘valued’ high by govt releasing funds, bureaucrats doing the swindling this time. plenty-of-evidence that trickle-down econ is a fairlytale, as is now easily googlable. the water that is poured at the top floor mostly flows out to a secret stash outside, and only a miniscule amount even circulates in the real economy for it to trickle anywhere. ultimately, the pot of money M needs to be distributed to people who do the work of making the finished goods in proportion to all they do, including the CEO and the fund managers. one could even pay people in proportion to the risk they take, the stress they swallow. but when M becomes 0.2M because 0.8 flies out to shelters never to be seen again we have a bad system. i think a good answer is to have a mixed system that ‘churns’ regularly, seeing both public and private sides competing. when things get too big on scale they command too much power and call dibs on M.  if there’s a fire in the second floor, maybe the water needs to be poured in it to douse it - not on the 51st floor to trickle down. an alternative approach could be to give people some of the amount ‘M’ and ask them to reward whichever production that is most needed by them. if one keeps marketing and hogwash to a tolerable amount people will spend on what they need first - and work jobs to supplement their income with a larger portion of M they command say over, but without living in embarrassingly dire, worthless conditions. europe does some of all this, which is one reason people live more human there and less like beasts. there is a lot of shaggy-dog-stories that pass for deep wisdom in some of these matters, and things don’t fucking work. it’s terrible, awful. unless we all plan to sacrifice our necks to babies wearing golden diapers, it behooves us to at least use our skepticism to try and smell bullshit when it’s dealt.

Ground Weed and Pre-Rolls Explode in Popularity in Canada… Southern Neighbours Still Not So Sure

In the past, cannabis consumers generally preferred to buy their weed whole and grind it themselves. However, it seems that in Canada, this is changing, and more and more consumers are now willing to purchase pre-ground cannabis, which was once considered “mids,” or worse, “Boof.” Heady bois groan from their studio apartments in Denver, but as mentioned earlier on this site, fans of pre-ground flower have no time for that negativity. Consumers are voting with their wallets.

It shouldn’t need defining, but here we go, pre-ground or milled weed is available in a ready-to-use form, which can be easily poured into your vape, pipe, or pre-rolled cone.

According to data generated by Seattle-based cannabis researchers Headset Analytics, pre-ground cannabis had a rather negligible presence in the burgeoning Canadian market at the start of 2020. However, fast forward and by December 2022, it occupied a significant share at 7.3% of Canadians’ flower purchases. This data was obtained through tracking in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan and reported by MJBizDaily.

“That’s very, very much a significant portion of the highest-revenue category,” Headset Analytics Manager Cooper Ashley said.

What’s more is that brands are growing devoted fanbases who come back and ask for them by name.

“We were, in my opinion, probably a month too late jumping on that trend, even though customers were asking us for it,” said Cavion, founder of two Calyx + Trichomes stores in Kingston, Ontario.

Perhaps another boost to purchases of pre-ground bud is infused products. It’s becoming more common on shelves and delivery menus all over the world to see massive selections of infused pre-ground and pre-rolls. This gives the product that little extra kick chronic chronic smokers like. Growers used to throw out their trim. Now they grind it up with bud, pack it into pre-rolls that they roll in trim bin kief and sell at a premium. It’s really a win-win. People love the product, growers get to turn what once was waste into gold.

Apart from its convenience, there are several other advantages to purchasing pre-ground weed. One such benefit is the price point, and you know stoners love a deal. In fact, pre-ground cannabis often retails at a lower price point than whole flower, with an average price of around $4 CAD or approximately $3 USD per gram. This marks a significant decrease from the average price of $7 CAD or $5.25 USD in early 2020.

This trend of buying pre-ground weed is not as popular in the United States, where it currently only makes up about 0.9% of the total flower market share. One possible reason for the relatively slow adoption of pre-ground weed in the USA could be its negative reputation. Some Canadian Entrepreneurs have admitted that they were initially hesitant to stock pre-ground weed due to its less-than-stellar reputation.

“In the early days of legalization in Canada, I don’t think the perception was there for milled flower – I think it was seen as maybe inferior to other products,” – Maria Guest, Pure Sunfarms Vice President

Despite its plus sides, it just wasn’t cool in the beginning. That changed incredibly fast. The verdict is still out whether Americans are simply snobs or if the pre-ground weed in Canada is just better.

You know what else Canadians love? Canadians love pre-rolls. If you need further proof Canadians love convenience, according to data also provided by Headset Analytics and reported on MJBizDaily, the market for infused pre-rolls in Canada has experienced an astounding growth of nearly 1,100% within a year.

(Still reading this?! I know you want a pre-roll now!)

I think again here the variety available on the shelves in mind boggling numbers. Smokers today have options from the bottom of the shelf to the top, infused, coated, premium, hash filled, whatever you can imagine, someone is rolling it up into a joint, sticking it in a little plastic tube and willing to sell it to you. Our little monkey brains can’t help but buy them up like candy and enjoy them. Listen, I am that heady boi, and I buy pre-rolls. They are awesome.

To be fair it is doubtful that heady bois everywhere are going to pawn their Motherships and custom bangers to load up on pre-ground cannabis.These are not the same markets and that’s okay. That’s the beauty of a legal market, it creates a massive variation of products that may never have been available otherwise. In the same way, a lot of consumers are just looking for an easy way to get blazed, and a familiar bag of ground up stuff to roll your own cigarettes like a hipster outside a music venue. Good for all 7.9% of them.

You know what else is awesome? Kief.

Just saying. If you’re rolling Js, you might as well pick up some of that to top it all off.

You used to be able to walk into a high street store and buy the kinds of jeans and tops that'd last you 5 years - like were they still not ideally ethically or environmentally produced? sure. But if you were broke you could get the wear out of them. I've still got tops I bought like 10 years ago when I was just out of highschool that are still wearable and don't have holes or aren't falling apart. If you went to Primark to buy cheap clothes for your holiday so it wasn't the end of the world if your case went missing or got damaged they'd still be viable to use for the next two or three holidays and then as pyjamas or house clothes. I have a dressing gown I bought from Primark, that as of next year I will have owned for 20 years of hard fucking use, it cost me £25 which was a lot for me at the time being I was 8, it's not got a single rip, tear or hole in it. Some of the fluffy bits don't come out the machine as fluffy as they used to. It's got some makeup stains I've never worried about trying to remove that are probably irretrievable now. But 20 years of near daily use, washed millions of times, loved and worn and ad finitum. I've recently bought some cheap clothes for my work bag as I travel a lot with my work (blue collar job) and it's easier to have a designated set of everything in there than worry about laundry if I get a last minute call from work. Nothing is made as well as it used to be. The t-shirts all have at least a little bit of poly in them. They're half as thick, see through, and get holes in the seams easily within a few washes in the industrial machines they use for our gear at work. Prints fade off within 5-10 washes when they used to last a year or two of constant use, embroidered logos fraying and coming loose and leaving stitch holes, trackies pants drawstrings that fray and won't survive, general wear and tear seems to render them unwearable in fewer washes.

I'm having to buy medium priced items from actual brands to get stuff that has any chance of surviving at work, which completely defeats the purpose. I cannot emphasise enough that we are being fucked sideways and left here. Inexpensive clothes used to be distasteful environmentally and ethically, but were actually wearable decent quality garments that would get you through a broke patch, or were fine for kids taking a growth spurt, or for situations where you couldn't justify ruining your "good clothes" like my job. The clothes are getting worse, and their sources are getting murkier and for what? So wages can keep being stifled into the ground, capitalism provides infinite choice of increasingly shitty, unwearable, hyper consumables.

Just sell me a decent t-shirt. Just pay people enough they can justify a pack of pure cotton t-shirts made without exploitation. Make the high street viable again for people on lower incomes rather than this Vimes Boots shit that means low income folks are trapped in a cycle with their garments. If Primark could sell me a usable t-shirt 10 years ago those factories and sourcing/procurement systems exist. I could give a fuck if the stock changes every 3 days. My low income friends deserve to be able to wear clothes that aren't falling apart on them just because they're poor.

10 Ideas for Automobile Business With Auto Classified Script

Entrepreneurs need a smooth, uninterrupted workflow to succeed. In the past, this was hard because tasks took a lot of time. But now, technology has transformed how businesses run, making things faster and easier.

In the classified business, the impact of technology has been both surprising and powerful.

To succeed in the second-hand market, check out the monetization strategies of classified ads script discussed in this article.

Let’s dive into the factors that you can change your classified business better!

Cost Efficiency 

In the world of classified businesses, building a buy-sell marketplace app is comparable in cost to creating an e-commerce website.

However, despite the challenges, an auto classifieds script provides a cost-efficient solution. Its features cater to the specific needs of various vendors, making it an affordable option for developing a successful online platform for buying and selling used vehicles.

High Scalability 

In an online car marketplace, the financial risk is quite low since there's no need to stock up on vehicles.

However, the real challenge for the marketplace owner is managing supply and demand as the platform expands. Bringing in top-notch sellers can draw in more customers, and as the customer base grows, it attracts even more sellers.

An automobile classifieds script helps keep this balance between buyers and sellers, making sure the platform thrives.

A Wide Space For Resourceful Online Auto Services 

In today's digital world, online car services have become the go-to choice for both individuals and businesses. Thanks to technology, everything is easier and more accessible. 

An automobile classifieds script helps users by allowing them to set specific dates for vehicle sales, so buyers can find the right car at the right time. It also streamlines the selling process, making it smoother and more organized. This results in less manual work and an improved experience for everyone involved.

User-Friendly Features 

To create a great experience for all users, especially those who aren't very tech-savvy, your car classifieds platform should be easy to use. Here’s how a well-designed automobile classifieds script can make things simpler:

Multiple Login Options: Users can pick from various login methods, making it fast and easy to sign up.

Advanced Search Options:  Detailed search filters help users quickly find the car they want.

Simple Booking Procedure: Choosing and booking a car is straightforward and user-friendly.

Flexible Payment Methods: Users can pay using credit/debit cards, digital wallets, or PayPal, making transactions smooth and secure.

Order Confirmation: Users get clear confirmations for their orders, keeping them informed throughout the process.

A user-friendly auto-classifieds script makes buying and selling cars smooth and stress-free for everyone involved.

Streamlined Workflow 

It is not like a typical conventional method. An auto-classified script speeds up the process by removing the need for a central manager. 

Advertisers can list their cars and provide all necessary details directly, without having to get permission or go through intermediaries. 

This efficient system lets them quickly launch and manage their ad campaigns without any unnecessary delays.

Global Reach 

Expanding your business to a global audience is crucial in today’s world, and using an automobile classifieds script can set you up for success. A strong online presence allows you to attract a diverse, international audience.

To thrive, your buy-sell marketplace platform needs to meet various preferences and become a top choice for users. The auto classifieds model offers a chance to reach beyond local markets and boost your visibility and efficiency.

Features like multiple languages, currencies, and geo-location capabilities in the classifieds app are key to global growth. These tools help you connect with users worldwide and make your platform more appealing across different regions.

Real-Time Updates And Uninterrupted Inventory Management 

Maintaining an up-to-date inventory is essential in the automotive industry. A reliable auto classifieds script does just that by offering real-time updates. It keeps vehicle listings current, so users always see accurate information.

Real-time updates also prevent the listing of sold vehicles, which builds trust between buyers and sellers. This trust leads to repeat visits and strengthens customer loyalty.

Together, these features enhance the platform's revenue potential.

Real-Time Algorithm 

Automobile classified software gives platform owners real-time analytics to track sales precisely.

These insights help owners spot popular products and services, as well as preferred vendors, making it easier to promote what users want most.

It also empowers app owners to make smart decisions and fine-tune the platform to better serve their customers.

In-Built Digital Promotion Feature 

Traditional advertising can be pricey and often involves working with third parties. But with the automobile classifieds script, you can save money and still reach a broad audience. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook let you promote your business for free, turning small investments into big returns.

Digital marketing is more powerful than the old-school methods. Features like reviews, ratings, comments, and shares act as natural endorsements for your business.

To build a strong presence, focus on creating a professional image that connects with your audience. Carefully choose your logo, visuals, descriptions, and overall branding, and use them smartly.

Multiple Revenue Streams 

An auto classified script offers multiple ways to generate revenue tailored to the second-hand market, including:

Commission Fees  

Charging buyers and sellers a clear fee while keeping sign-ups free helps build trust and drives income.

Advertising Revenue  

Allowing businesses to advertise on the platform creates an additional revenue stream with minimal effort.

Subscription Charges  

Offering subscription plans provides a steady income, with options like a basic three-month plan paid upfront.

In-App Purchases  

Selling extra features enhances the user experience while adding another income source, though it shouldn't be over-relied upon.

These strategies make the platform both efficient and profitable.

Wrapping Up, 

Business is a long-term process and you don’t need a just temporary tool to help with your venture. An automobile classifieds script can be a great assistance for you.

I’ve been having to work an auto retail shop bc my main job got sporadic enough I had to take a side thing, and this is so exactly on the fucking head of everything driving me insane about this whole goddamn system. The higher ups keep demanding higher sales targets based off the last year’s sales figures, except they don’t seem to factor in the fact they keep jacking prices up astronomically in the meanwhile which has been making people say they’ll find it online or at Walmart but they still insist we somehow have to pulls those sales out of somewhere. Before I started working I had to buy a battery and it was like $160 after tax, and now that same battery after tax comes to like $250. I’ve changed price tags where things arbitrarily leap up anywhere of 50 cents to $20–and I’ve seen things arbitrarily be lowered down a dollar or five which asks why they had it marked up so high in the first place? But they keep insisting we have to make more money off customer counts that are about the same or less than the last year or two and it’s still hitting more than not but any slow period and I hear talk about hours getting cut (as if it’s a punishment to have to work fewer hours lol) and I think I heard you only earn back an hour at a time. They keep fiddling with systems and changing staff which is causing problems with distributions and making us lose sales because we can’t get things stocked, but they refuse to acknowledge any of that and instead keep nitpicking on minor things to harp on like constant phone shopper tests.

It’s truly maddening having to deal with all this talk about how they’re always expecting endless growth, verbatim saying that in weekly meetings and constantly acting as if it’s at all a viable strategy to constantly expect to be topping yourself and always doing better than you were instead of maintaining steady business sales & presence but no, capitalism demands you must always do more. Why? Just Do More.

Even in food service, there is the demand for exponential growth. Each store has a profit target you're expected to hit every quarter. Each quarter the target gets bigger and bigger. The only way to make sure you hit or exceed that target is to increase sales or cut costs. Sales can only go so far though, so at a certain point there is the understandable temptation (not justifiable, but understandable) for your manager to start cutting hours. Once they do, your location has entered a Death Spiral.

The thing about the Death Spiral is it is nearly impossible to escape. It starts innocuous enough, with a few hours getting shaved off every week. And true enough at first you probably didn't need those hours. They were the slack, the extra hands that helped distribute the work and made it easier on everyone. You might not even notice they're gone. Maybe the morning rush is a little harder to handle, maybe there isn't as much time to chat as there used to be. But on the whole nothing has changed. You're still hitting your sales quota and, hey, everyone seems to be working a little harder. That's good, right?

Then the next quarter rolls around. You exceeded your quota. Upper management is very excited. But now your new quota is even higher than it would have been if you had simply performed to expectations. You raise prices a bit, push more expensive drinks, and sure, cut a few more hours. Bit by bit the slack gets tighter. The fat gets trimmed. All because continual growth, continual improvement, is not just demanded, but expected.

The endgame of the Death Spiral is the expectation that every worker will operate at 100% efficacy 100% of of the time, and that nothing will go wrong ever. It never reaches this point, as any food service worker will tell you, shit goes wrong. Service gets worse, you lose a few customers, and you miss your quota. This is the point of no return, because the only way to solve the problem is to add more hours. But there's no way upper management will approve spending more money. On a failing store? Don't be ridiculous. Maybe get those numbers up and we'll consider adding hours back. But the only way to get those numbers up is with no hours. It's a Catch-22. You're trapped. Slowly, inevitably, the store fails, and then closes.

The Death Spiral is a doomed strategy, but it is the one corporations push in response to investor pressure. It tricks workers into more work for the promise of relief later, if they do well and succeed, not realizing they'll only be asked to do even more next time. So how do you fight it? Know your worth. Don't let anyone give you more work without some kind of kickback. Don't fool yourself into thinking that being indispensable will lead to a reward later.

But the best defense? Join a union.
