We have all this new technology that could go into making more fuel efficient trucks but instead it goes into making bigger heavier trucks with the same fuel efficiency as the earlier smaller ones. And also the same bed-size. Literally the sole reason for trucks to exist, wasted to make giant monstrosities that never do anything a truck is supposed to do. loving idiot government refusing to govern over the past 30 years.

I'd hope that once we have trains that go everywhere and communities built around them that we've also thought about the need to sometimes transport large pets. Actually dogs should be banned from cities, so there is no reason to allow them on public transit.

people here who use trucks for work just chop the tiny useless beds off and replace them with something that doesn’t require a stepladder to load, or they get something imported. lots of roofers and yard workers driving cute little Japanese pickups these days. shame they gotta go.

It's so funny that history has been a nonstop chain of people being displaced from the lives they enjoyed or at least tolerated by poo poo outside their control. Like people have always had their villages totally leveled and their families slaughtered by random warbands they had nothing to do with and had to just haul rear end barefoot across to some other spot where life was worse and harder, everyone has ancestors who went through that. People post on this forum who are some of the few survivors of indigenous North American civilizations who experienced actual apocalypses and can never ever reattain what the generations before them had. Many other times people have chosen to abandon lives they knew for extremely slim chances of something better in a place that was completely alien to them, and for a lot of them it ended in starvation and despair or far-worse violence. And every single one of those situations and crises including the ones that culminated in genocide of millions was a fraction of the severity of the current climate crisis, and the actual sacrifices you are asked to make in concession to the climate crisis are hilariously small in context. But history is over, and you are special, and when you speak up and say, "It's important to my family's well-being that we drive with our two large dogs to visit Disneyworld twice a year. How am I going to do that in the world you propose?", people have to listen to you and treat you as though you are a serious adult.

It's ridiculous and kinda disgusting. Last time I was at Zion, they highly recommended taking shuttle buses into the parks instead of driving in. Each of these parks has a little town outside the gates and they all run shuttles.
