Hot take: pick-up trucks should be illegal as daily drivers. You should need either a commercial license or permit. Vast majority of truck drivers don't need them regularly as a truck or to tow; they're just status symbols and make driving more dangerous for everyone else. Not to mention the inefficiency.
Hot take: Let people enjoy what they want. Hypercars and planes are much worse than pick-up trucks.
Let's not. Some people's enjoyment causes a lot of pain for other people, and sometimes i mean literally
As long as the government lets people buy trucks, people will buy trucks.
Rich people jet-setting in their private are far worse than trucks but I rarely hear anyone talking about banning planes.
This is all I see. Instead of literally eating the rich, we're going to pile on ignorant dudes that buy big trucks. Sure, they're a problem but they pale in comparison to what corporations and super wealthy are doing.
It's mind blowing that it keeps working for the rich.
Then do it, but in your own post.
I mean that literally, it would be good to ban private planes and cut down usage of other airplanes drastically. However using that to discredit people talking about other drivers of climate change is just plain whataboutism and sabotaging the movement.
