No! Cause that bitch got home after her bike ride and drove that truck 4x more than her commute would've been. I work at a place that smells pretty bad due to the chemicals needed for the job. A LOT of people have "beaters" they use for work so their good cars won't smell bad. This saves them enough money to afford ridiculous cars and trucks for their "normal life". There's a guy that drives an old geo metro for work. Awesome! Those get great gas mileage and it's a 30 year old car, good on you man! "Yeah I just don't want my ZL1 Camaro to smell like this place" well, fuck.
One day I hope to see an economy that doesn’t rely on capitalism, and a ~~reddit ~~ Lemmy thread about trucks that doesn’t immediately turn into “I need it to haul cow shit” vs “anyone with more than 3 seat belts should be publicly executed.”
Sometimes it’s ok to have and use the machine that fits the job. Sometimes it’s vanity. How much more discussion is needed
And then the whole shower room got up and clapped.
