Most days I don't need a truck. Most days I don't want a truck.
But that's what I've got and I can't exactly just buy a new vehicle, or simply change jobs to one I can cycle to.
I'm a minority though, for most people it's compensation for insecurity or attempted status symbol. Around here we call them "pavement princesses" because they never touch dirt and likely couldn't navigate a back yard with its current driver.
My in-laws have a van that can out-pull my pickup. Partly due to my trucks age and how heavily it has been used over the years, but their van isn't exactly a pushover.
And they have their own pickup that is only a few years old and it can't tow their camper very well. They use their van whenever they can.
If their proof of citizenship is their ID, remind them that people make their entire living off selling fake or altered ID cards.
Sorry, your drivers license isn't good enough, you're going to the concentration camps.
"hits harder than trumps tariffs" is a phrase I'm really getting sick of.
My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.
There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

I'm just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.

If an aussie can make cubane in his shed in the backyard, I'm sure a bunch of nerds working together can get this done in 3 days.
It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.
And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
It's simple.
Just change the entire way elections are run from the ground up, and then you'll have all the options you need!
Oh, how do you go about actually changing elections?
Don't worry about that, it'll be sorted..... somehow..... Just keep voting third part and it'll all magically work out!
You know, assuming we still have elections in 2028, and assuming potential elections aren't one of those "vote for the correct candidate or off to the gulags for you" kind of elections and opposition is only allowed to run because the votes don't matter.
Something something both parties.
/s, since we live in the age where most of that could be said in complete seriousness.
I didn't mean to imply that's what you were saying.
There are exceptions, but yeah 99% of trucks and SUVs on the road simply don't need to be there.
I'd love electric van, honestly. Most of the stuff I use my truck for doesn't need the open space up top or the ability to drop a load from above/the side, and the few times I have needed that I could have spent an hour hand loading things. Plus I'd prefer the extra security of having an enclosed cargo space. Vans are better than trucks in all but a small set of circumstances
