Actually a more serious reply. I'm not special at all, anyone living in a rural area ends up with a pickup. I need to stock pile gas at my place for the chainsaws and the chipper and the log splitter, etc. I usually have 25 gallons when I'm "full". The gas cans leak a little, do you want that in your nice car? Nope, that's what a pickup is for.
In rural areas it's normal to get stuck. I pull people out of the ditch all the time, can your car do that?
I have to carry 4 trash cans a mile and a half up the road every week, that's where the trash gets picked up, can your car do that?
I have to haul concrete bags up here all the time, like a pallet at a time, can your car do that?
All of you folks who live on the coast and do tech work seem to have forgotten that there are a bunch of people who are farmers or whatever, who live in rural areas, their needs are different than yours. The idea that they could rent a pickup for the few times a year that they need it just shows that you have no clue what their daily life is like.
And that's why Trump got elected. Get a clue, figure out how the fly over people live and maybe have some compassion for their lot. Or not, enjoy Trump 1.0, you'll get Trump 2.0 until you figure it out.
- EADGBE 9y agoEveryone forgets how different this country is from Sea to Shining Sea. A lot of people in the US can live without ever needing a truck. --and-- A lot of people in the US couldn't live without a truck.

- dbaupp 9y ago> I'm not special at all, anyone living in a rural area ends up with a pickup You are special (i.e. part of the minority). Somewhere between 60 and 80% of people live in cities/urban areas in the US. As you said yourself, a truck is a tool with uses where it is critical but there are many where it is unnecessary. The original post you replied to just said that trucks aren't needed by most people, not that they're never needed and nothing of what you've said has argued against this. You and the person you're ranting against/accusing of lack of empathy are probably 100% in agreement.
