@puppygirlhornypost I mean, if the #NHTSA was competent, we'd not see the #Enshittification with #SuperUselessBehicles aka "#LightTrucks" that are specifically designed and marketed to circumvent #CAFE regulations by the #EPA and cmpletely disregard #CradhCompatibility and #Safety regulations...

#UnsafeAtAnySpeed 2.0

@AdrianVolt @growdene @tikibunnyimports also the fact that "#LightTrucks" in the #USA are not subject to #CrashCompatibility testing!

@growdene OFC they do...

#PersonalLightVehicles are perfectly possible, they are just comfortable with #sabotaging #Competition and leveraging #Lobbyism to literally outlaw #SmallCars similar to the nice ones that @tikibunnyimports offers...

Sadly this isn't #USA-exclusive (tho there the flood of #SuperUselessVehicles including the #Enshittification as well as #Fattening of #Cars got started) but the #EU does the same with making a lot of #bloat mandatory that enshures that any #PersonalLightVehicles can't be sold "legally" as a #Car but only "#LightVehicle" as per classifications L2e-L7e, introducing a lot of restrictions in terms of net- & MGW, speed and/or power output to the wheels.

That being said almost all particle emissions in traffic are brake and tire dust and are unavoidable as regulators won't relax #RoadSafety laws for good reasons...

And #CAFE exemptions for "#LightTrucks" are the problem...

So yes, we need #SystemChangeNotClimateChange and that necessitates #AbolishCapitalism before #Capitalism abolishes #Humanity entirely due to obsoleting #labour done by #Wageworkers!

@SheDrivesMobility Those are just #SuperUselessVehicles driven by assholes.

But don't take word for it: @notjustbikes formulated it way better:
