well let us be honest here. that 50% crosses both political sides and isn't just limited to what they spend on vehicle purchases. A more common example than your slightly extreme car choice would be in cell phones. people line up to buy thousand dollar cell phones all the time when phones that are half if not a quarter of that work just fine.
This is what makes any free country work. Respect for private property which includes money earned from one's labor to make the purchases wanted without recrimination by the government we live under.
As for trucks, most actually are used to haul something but just like passenger cars many will have time where they are not fully employed to the extent their ability permits. just driving into work the majority of cars carry only a fourth of the people they could carry and many of them can be fifty, sixty, or even more tens of thousands of dollars. Don't worry about it, focus on yourself and be better
- loudmax 8y agoI haven't seen actual figures, and it would be difficult to measure, but I have a distinct impression that most trucks in the suburban area I live are used to commute to work, not haul anything. Around here, they're status symbols, not work vehicles. Also, in case of accident, the amount of steel in those trucks protects their drivers by increasing the lethality to other vehicles. So, I don't entirely not worry about large trucks driving around me. And then there's fuel efficiency. Other people's bills at the fuel pump is not my business, sure. But then, there's a pretty solid scientific consensus that man made climate change is on course to have a drastic effect on living conditions on this planet. But I concede that you're free not to believe in the scientific method if you don't want to. So focus on yourself, but do pay attention to others.
