Your shelter, goods, and services are provided by truck owners. The roof you sleep under, the walls you take comfort in. If you take a moment to reflect, you'll quickly realize that your seemingly truck independent existence is little more than a thin, single layer of obfuscation from a societal framework that affords you such pretenses. You don't need to own a truck because at least 20 other people do, and I think that's your point. You'll rely on them. But think about that point for a second. It's not saying what you think it's saying.
- badpun 2y agoI also don't need to own a backhoe, every time I want to dig a hole I just rent a guy with one. It's very similar to trucks and yet nobody owns personal backhoes, but plenty of people own their personal trucks. It's a waste of resources.
- bluGill 2y agoI know a number of people with personal backhoes. They all have a fair amount of land. It doesn't take long to pay off a personal backhoe if you use them. Though most people don't have nearly enough need for large holes to make it worth it.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y ago/me raises hand as someone seriously considering it.
- vel0city 2y agoWhat are you trying to say with this? That everyone should bother to daily drive a semi-truck and a Panamax-sized shipping vessel to live in solidarity with those who drive trucks and operate giant ships for a living? That truck drivers are the new deietys we should bow down to for every bite of food we eat? What exactly is your point?
- trimethylpurine 2y agoThat in totality, one guy driving an electric car might have a bigger footprint than a gas guzzling pickup owner, so we should focus on the bigger picture when we compare the size our virtue with one another.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoI'm worried that I might run out of upvotes to give you ever since that "can't we all just get along" comment :-)
