Comment on FOUR whole parking spots
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 year agoMany maybe, but not most. Full-size trucks should be work only vehicles rather than personal ones. With audits done to ensure some work boss doesn’t just order some for fun when they don’t need them.

So we want to spend more money on policing people and their vehicles? There seems to be a misunderstanding on how rural America works. I don’t know many people, including myself, who can have both a work pickup and a car to piddle around in. My pickup was purchased with work in mind, but since it’s my only vehicle, I have to use it for day to day use as well. You can’t force people who live in rural areas to give up vehicles that are necessary for them in the places they live.
This whole issue about pollution is far more nuanced than just regulating pickups. Do you purchase products that are made in China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc.? If you do, this is more of a contributor to global pollution than pickup trucks in the west. I can reasonably guarantee that the forestry work I do does more at protecting the environment than your virtue signaling does.
