Curated Tumblr

Let’s say I’m poor, my car breaks down, I need to go to work otherwise I’ll lose it, not everywhere has public transport options, I guess if I don’t have an extra 1k€ on my account to pay for the deposit, I can get fucked, right? Shouldn’t have been poor.

Shit americans say, I swear.
My man, if you rely on a car for work but your company doesn't provide you transportation, you're being exploited. If you live in the middle of the forest so there is no public transport around because squirrels keep chewing tram rails or whatever, but whatever your employer is paying you isn't covering your anti-squirrel measures, then again, you're being exploited. Contact your union rep, quit your job, find something normal. If you can't find anything, apply for one of a many government programs that will pay you stipend to learn skills that will allow you to start working for something other than whatever shady shit you did before.
But we're glaring over the most fun part of this all, the fact that I don't think there are places in Europe where you can rent a car from a renter that requires you to pay only with MasterVisa, but there is no public transportation around.

Add to this the fact that you talk about credit card as if it's normal to have one in Europe, and I am beginning to suspect that you don't actually know what you're talking about
