Well, I'm at a bar right now in "flyover" country, and the bar is packed but quiet, everyone is having conversations about what they did last week and what they're up to next week, along with news and sports and general bullshit. I asked the man next to me your question after hearing him talk about how he finally had to get a new set of tires after 5 years of pulling stumps and hauling equipment. I actually asked him, "Do you really need a truck?" He told me, direct quote, "Every day I haul saws, chains, oil, gas, drills, a generator. You don't want that shit in your back seat or trunk." I then asked him what he does for a living and why he needed to haul all that. He works for Amazon, just like many of you. He also does self sustaining farming, just like many of you claim to support and praise. He also clears trees from roads after storms, free of charge. He also helps when his friends and family need to move. He also carries de-icing salt to distribute to his family when it snows. He just asked me if I'm talking to "one of those California know-nothings". He didn't use any slurs.
