All these children are invisible to the driver…

Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.

    I saw a YouTube explaining the giant cars in the US have to do with the government making a big equation that car manufacturers have to follow.

    The equation calculated the weight, size, gas mileage, etc, and the only way they can make the cars pass the equation is to make them giant. The equation backfired and now we have giant cars.

      It didn’t backfire. They designed a law that looks good at first glance but actually makes auto manufacturers richer. This happens all the time and it’s on purpose, because they know voters don’t have the analysis resources of lobbyists.

      Yep, the manufacturers get massive tax breaks on this class of vehicle, which means they can make and sell them at the same or better price than a small, fuel efficient car. If a family with kids has to choose between a mid size crossover or an F150 at similar price points, why would you get the crossover? The USA needs to fix the way it taxes cars to disincentivise these fuel inefficient giant cars. No other country has these problems so it’s not a selfish person problem, it’s an entirely logical choice to make given the circumstances.
