I am that uncle. I'm just doing what I have to to survive.

If I could buy a new car I would. I'd get an electric, self-driving pleasure machine, but no way I can afford it.

Maybe when this thing breaks down (it's already 15 yrs old).

No problem with that. I think the meme is referring to people who spent 100k on outlandishly large and glitzy trucks to spend 100% of their lives on paved suburban streets.

Dont forget to tailgate then hang next to the car you were tailgating for a few moments before flying past you just to end up at the same stop light down the road.

All while never looking up from the phone.

I'm a school bus driver and many of my fellow drivers talk or surf on their phones while driving fucking kids around. It's illegal and every moment on our buses is recorded (audio and video) but somehow nothing is said or done about this by the people in charge.

There’s likely already a shortage of drivers and they can’t get more because they don’t pay enough. Blow the whistle. It’ll end up getting you paid more if you can stay secret. If not, they’ll fire you and you can sue and get paid A LOT more.

I imagine they'll do something once a bus full of kids drives into a river or off a bridge.

“Bro you won’t believe this idiot on the highway who wouldn’t get out of the way of my truck”

My sister in-law? Broke as fuck, came across a windfall from an accident that never came up before, spent more than a third of it on... a fucking F-150 platinum. Still deep in debt, living in low income housing, doesn't have a job.

She won't have a truck soon, either.

They don't get it. They won't get it, until they get it.
