I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

    Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving larger vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

        Fuck that shit, they’re tailoring a product to someone who is not ME. This is the most grievous of sins.

        Where did I shame anyone? We’ve really gone full circle here.

      TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

      Choices like:

      • under investment in public transit and rail
      • Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs
      • low density housing policies
      • And, if we’re being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy

      All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

        You have a far more positive outlook than me. I’ve seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers.

      The larger the car, the greater the externalitites (including DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE), the greater the shame.
