FuckCarsA new F-150 is just a minivan with a doorless trunk.
This is for all my reply guys who claim to be special snowflakes that use their roofless minivans for work stuff 💅
mostly_harmless@FuckCarsReddit You're right in that most people who have trucks don't need them.
However, if you live way, way out in a rural area far outside the delivery range of any retailers, and you purchase a washing machine or a refrigerator, you would need a way to transport it home.
I hope that your understanding leaves room for nuances like that.
Jan Eckhoff 💉⁸ 🐘@mostly_harmless @FuckCarsReddit so for a once-in-10-years purchase, you have to own such a monster of a car instead of, say, renting a van for a day? 🤔
@janeckhoff No, you would do exactly what rural people do, own a vehicle capable of hauling that once-in-ten-years purchase as well as all the other once-in-ten-years purchases that a normal family has to make like mattresses, furniture, ovens, generators, etc.
If you had to rent a truck every time you bought something you would spend a fortune.
If you can only afford one vehicle, the cost-effective solution is to have a vehicle that can serve that role as well as the role of personal vehicle.
@mostly_harmless wouldn’t call that a nuance though, more like a grave systemic problem.
@janeckhoff By "systemic problem" you mean geography?
I mean, Montana exists. Montanans exist, too.
They're not going to voluntarily live like cavemen just to satisfy your needs.
Are you saying those Montanans are a "systemic problem".
What kind of solutions to this problem are you proposing? Are they final?
@mostly_harmless interesting that you’re suggesting exactly one direction of thought and then follow it through, as if it’s the only thing I could have possibly meant. Doesn’t really feel like a „good faith“ approach. I think I won’t continue talking to you. Have a great week.
