The societal indictment is exactly how I read it. Why would people take it the worst possible way?
That's not how I read it. Se my other reply.
That argument applies to virtually the entire country, zoned specifically to sell cars, with few recent exceptions. I'm not blaming the mom for that situation, I'm not sure why anyone would think that. This is just another death that seems to at least partially implicate big oil, big auto, and corrupt politicians.
It's like "extra medium".
The portion of people that have these vehicles and fit the very narrow use case that it specifically satisfies is observably very small. People that don't need a truck often can rent one. As mentioned by others, many of these trucks aren't particularly good at what they were ostensibly built for. As my grandfather might have said, "those are just for sellin'".
Judgement is fair, partly because these trucks only exist because of the scam legal definition of "light" trucks, partly due to the climate impact, but most immediately because of how dangerous they are to everyone else.
You just got Gore'd!
