I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
As much as I hate the ruling family of Saudi Arabia… get off it:

Your information is dated. We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico

Damn, I didn’t know the Netherlands exported any crude oil!
Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.
Touché 😅

Some people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games

People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.
Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.

Have you seen North American public transportation?
Yeah, I have a “choice”, but it’s 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.

Yeah, US is one of these hard to reach places

People do not commonly have a choice here
In America there is near 0 public transit outside of a few major cities
