It's not non-existent, but it's non-existent enough to justify most people not owning trucks and just renting them when needed.
I mean, if trucks were still like the 4-cylinder Ranger I had from the 80's, it would make more sense. But they aren't and it doesn't.
Agreed. The industry is invested in avoiding regulation that could impede their profits at all costs. This means they will invest in advertising pushing the idea that these vehicles are needed.

I guess self-reporting surveys must be lies then.
In other words, for the most part, these gas guzzling monstrosities are rarely used for hauling shit. Maybe they should just rent a truck when they need one?
So because our criminal justice system is so terrible, instead of changing anything about it, we just need to... *checks notes... keep people locked up indefinitely.
Man, I hope you're never railroaded with a false charge by cops and get what you want out of that. Locked up indefinitely over some made up bullshit because you yourself were like "Nah, we shouldn't release criminals, because our justice system is fucked."
This is some Olympic level mental fucking gymnastics here.
Because I didn't say that. Once again, your lack of reading comprehension rears its ugly head.
EDIT: it's interesting that they think I blocked them. Is that what they wanted?
Very sane and definitely not emotional.
I'm gonna go with projection here. It's not like they can't see when I made my edits.
They're digitized to very specific formats that are proprietary, and once the devices that play them cease to exist, so does the data contained on them.
Digitizing them into a file format (which if you actually read the initial comment, would have noticed that I specified this) that is open, available, and easily transferable between a multitude of digital devices is a different issue.
EDIT: I went back and bolded it for you, since you seem to struggle with reading comprehension.
Yeah, more like "Ban trucks that are built so high off the ground that they can't see pedestrians." That would easily include lifted trucks as well as general monstrosities.
I mean, it's not like any of these motherfuckers uses these things to haul anything other than their kids and fucking groceries anyway.
Too much of a pussy to just own it and just drive a fucking minivan, which can easily carry kids and groceries. Has to buy the big dick extender instead.
It, quite literally, has everything to do with this.
But keep pretending it doesn't and like you know better without actually presenting any argument of your own.
I'm sure that will work out for you. /s
Or we could, you know, follow previously established methods of building vehicles that make pedestrian death and dismemberment less likely.
No, no, no. Americans need them this way apparently for some inexplicable fucking reason.
So instead of just designing them with pedestrian safety in mind to begin with, we are just gonna slap on more fucking band-aids (like cameras) that do fuck-all.
Good to know.
Now get back in your hole and make more memes!
At this point, I think that's projection.
Oh no! A rental fee! That must have made it so you couldn't afford to eat. What even is this argument?
So you own more vehicles than you as an individual need? I don't know why you think that's supposed to go over well in a Fuck_Cars forum.
