I fucking hate living here. The culture is poison. The economy is a fucking disaster. The education is designed to leave a huge portion of the country illiterate. Every single atom of it is white supremacist. The land is all stolen. The capitalists are completely above the law. Fuck cars. Fuck America,

    I hate driving, I hate maintaining a car, I hate having to own a car, and I hate what cars have done to our cities.

    unfortunately forcing every American to buy a car allows the capitalists to squeeze like a cool $20k out of everyone which is “good for the economy” I guess because cars are one of the few things we still make here. Everything in this country is a fucking racket it sucks.

      Eco Gecko’s video on SUVs, “Vroom Doom”, estimated that a typical automobile costs 6k (low-end sedans) to 11k (high-end pickups) per year to own/operate, all told. That doesn’t include roadway spending, so it’s possible that we spend up to 25% of our GDP just on having motor vehicles.
