I understand wanting to give people the tools to help themselves but it's also important to keep in mind that this sort of logic has been used to punish the poor and victim blame for any excess pleasure expenditure.
Poverty is a symptom of a failing system and does not fall solely on the individual to escape.
it's a harsh reality that climate change will put increased strain on aging infrastructure, one of the many challenges we're going to have to overcome.
Also because of the way emissions standards are enforced in the US, SUVs and trucks are held to lower emissions standards making them more profitable. They receive the heaviest marketing and therefore sell the most.
I've both been poor and owned a few vehicles and $2000 repair bills happen, more than once in the life cycle of a car and much more than I could ever afford if I hadn't been better off before I pulled the trigger in cars but down take my word for it John Oliver did a great peice on how bad of a debt trap they are on average
This is incredibly insane when you consider the cost incurred to maintain a vehicle. No poor person would do this in the right mind it would be nothing but a debt trap. It's shameful that public transit is downright near illegal and most metropolitan areas in North America and it is the best solution get over it
Yep I understand they're there to make our lives easier but I wish they were implemented in a more controllable way because the AI hallucinations just makes me sound insane
I appreciate your thorough and non-confrontational response, I will respond once I've had time to read give your points the time and research they deserve.
Calling Biden "corrupt right wing reactionary" is untrue.
That isn't to say I wouldn't prefer Bernie Sanders, or that I agree with everything Biden's done.
I just think that accusation is inflammatory and baseless. It would be more helpful to use accurate descriptors.
I'm not a fan of him ordering the rail union back to work but he's also asked for the DEA to review a proposal to reschedule marijuana, acquitted existing inmates on marijuana charges and forgiven as much student loan debt as he is able without intervention from Congress.
To me this does not paint the picture of a "corrupt right with reactionary"
Mass surveillance is my kink
