Van configurations can accommodate 4+ people, just like trucks, if you need it. Maybe not in the smaller vans as easily, if you have a lot of equipment, but the larger vans (Transit, ProMaster, etc.) can fit plenty. Heck, people convert them to live out of as campers. They just don't feed the same masculinity crisis that trucks do.
Yeah, stuff like landscaping is a use case that really does favor open-bed trucks. My neighbor runs a landscaping business and uses a couple Isuzu N series trucks for that purpose. I think one is crew-cab. They're obviously a bit bigger than the Suzuki Carry, but used ones are close to that price range.
I work with a lot of contractors, and they all still love their big trucks, having at least some utility argument that they are useful for work. But several of them have switched to smaller vans like the Ford Transit, Dodge Ram ProMaster, Nissan NV200, etc., and say they aren't as cool but they're so much easier to drive and park at job sites. And they lock up all your stuff, so you don't have the same theft from work sites, a serious problem where I live. They have racks on the roof to carry ladders, which you had to put on top of the trucks anyway because most trucks can't even fit a step ladder in the bed. These guys will still keep a few trucks in their fleet for pulling large equipment, but most of the time I meet them on a site, they're driving the vans.
Gothamist has more info, but passenger vehicles and motorcycles only pay once per day. For other vehicles, the toll is incurred every time the vehicle crosses into the zone below 60th Street/Central Park. There are a bunch of discounts and details for evening hours and tunnel users that already pay a toll, and additional surcharges for rideshare drivers. It's a little complicated.
Agree with this, a headphone jack is occasionally very useful, especially when traveling. I had a Google Pixel without a headphone jack and I was surprised how much I missed it, I got an adapter just to restore that functionality.
Congrats to every news outlet that covered this ambush hearing breathlessly, you've done exactly what House Republicans wanted you to do. The thin façade of pearl-clutching over anti-semitism, from a caucus that courts neo-Nazis, was utterly transparent. But they wanted to attack elite universities, and every news outlet gave them a megaphone and context-free coverage.
Journalists still haven't learned how to cover an extremist party that has no policy agenda and is only interested in culture wars and scoring political points.
Even where US military aid is brand-new material, the American military contractors are the ones profiting from it, spurring the American economy. It's almost more an economic shot in the arm than it is international aid.
La Zona en Reclamación ain't gonna save him, Maduro and his regime are already doomed. The question has been, how many people will he make suffer to cover up the failed policies of Chavismo?
