Ep. 027 Miami Traffic Getting Worse, Carvana Q4 Miss, Predatory Subprime Auto Lenders, and Other Updates

In this episode, we discuss a pair of 2022 traffic / congestion studies published by two different sources (TomTom and INRIX), both of which seem to show how quantifiably bad Miami traffic has become. Then we go on to review Carvana's 2022 Q4 earnings and continue to conjecture how much longer the company can survive. Last, I want to tell you just how much I despise subprime predatory lending.
