    It's crazy what the 5 year cost of ownership is when you factor in depreciation, average maintenance/repair, gas, and insurance.

    It isn't getting better if you need a car to reach a possible workplace which is 50km away, but you also have to pay for a driver license, which is also very expensive

    Edit:

    Remember the "Free ride for free citizens." propaganda in 1989 against the GDR? Cynical.

    I often like to brag that I have a chauffeur who drives me around in a 16-wheel Mercedes with over 400 HPs after taking the bus

    This is how propaganda works, they bill taking away your freedom as itself being freedom.

    Same as with many other things like billing a fundamental rejection of your country's founding principles as 'Patriotism'.

    FE:

    Freedom does not consist in any dreamt-of independence from natural laws, but in the knowledge of these laws, and in the possibility this gives of systematically making them work towards definite ends.
