Plenty of “rich” blue collar people in the Midwest have equipment that is much more expensive/luxurious than would be required for the job. For example, $100k

Plenty of “rich” blue collar people in the Midwest have equipment that is much more expensive/luxurious than would be required for the job.
For example, $100k pickup trucks are not necessary for farmers but still very common.
- wilg 4y agoYeah but it being more luxurious than required doesn't make it ill-suited for the job.
- kortilla 4y ago> For example, $100k pickup trucks are not necessary for farmers but still very common. That’s because they also serve as a daily driver, so that’s not a good comparison. A pure overpriced utility would be like a luxury combine.
- adwww 4y agoPlenty of over-specced tractors on farms too.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoActually, a luxury combine would be a good idea. You're spending 12+ hours a day in the thing at harvest time; you should be as comfortable as possible. Same reason a lot of contractors have such comfy trucks: getting up at 5AM to travel 2-3 hours to the job site means you're in the truck at least 4-6 hours a day.
- Gibbon1 4y agoNoise I hear from my non media back channels is people that need trucks for business hate the new trucks.
