Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.

    Because all the ways to improve things I see are crap ideas that boil down to

    • Let’s make driving harder not mass transit easier
    • Traffic circles!
    • Tax on poor people who have to be work at a certain time
    • More zoning laws can fix the problems zoning laws created, zoning laws that themselves were created to fix other older zoning laws, that were created to keep minorities away
    • Force upper middle class people to move to areas with poverty, get upset that middle class people moved to those areas. Also get upset when they don’t move

    When all the ideas are crap you might as well crackwise since the world is burning

      That one is hilarious to me…they DID move to areas of poverty over the last 30 years. Now those places are so fucking expensive the poor people had to move.

        Stay where you: you should move to where the jobs are!

        Move to where the jobs are: gentrification!

        Move away from where the jobs are: white flight!

        No action or inaction is moral. Leaving people with the choice of not caring at all or caring but unable to do anything about it since existence itself is wrong.
