I fucking hate living here. The culture is poison. The economy is a fucking disaster. The education is designed to leave a huge portion of the country illiterate. Every single atom of it is white supremacist. The land is all stolen. The capitalists are completely above the law. Fuck cars. Fuck America,
unfortunately forcing every American to buy a car allows the capitalists to squeeze like a cool $20k out of everyone which is "good for the economy" I guess because cars are one of the few things we still make here. Everything in this country is a fucking racket it sucks.
Eco Gecko's video on SUVs, "Vroom Doom", estimated that a typical automobile costs 6k (low-end sedans) to 11k (high-end pickups) per year to own/operate, all told. That doesn't include roadway spending, so it's possible that we spend up to 25% of our GDP just on having motor vehicles.
