Whether they rent or borrow one, they still needed a truck.
I need mine all the time, as do most others I know. I also listed activities that people like to use them for.
> But we also build and deploy way too many of them. Those facts can be true at the same time.
How many should we allow then? Who should qualify for them? Do recreational activities not qualify? Who gets to decide this? Do we do this for other things?
- ajross 4y ago> Whether they rent or borrow one, they still needed a truck. Yes, but only occasionally! Again, you're thinking we're trying to "take away your truck", when we're just saying (correctly) that most people (like your friends!) don't need them except rarely and are better served by other kind of resource allocation than personal vehicles. > How many should we allow [...] who should qualify [...] banned [...] who gets to decide This isn't a good faith argument. No one is advocating for any of that. Please don't.

I don't believe there are too many trucks or cars, I feel like the people saying there are too many trucks have the obligation to explicitly give reasons as you why. > This isn't a good faith argument. No one is advocating for any of that. Please don't. It is in good faith, I assure you. I'm trying to make you realize that what you view as necessary isn't the same for others. You said there are too many. I would like to know what you view as necessary and what the ideal amount would be for you. What uses for trucks are deemed as necessary and what are frivolous.
