More like “I hate my job, but social safety nets are nonexistent and I need to eat food. On top of that I’m forced to spend my precious income on a machine that requires fossil fuels which are destroying the environment” but yes
Yeah but that doesn't let you blame the people for having a car
Public transportation is non existent in a lot of the US and the cost of taking a cab is higher than a car payment. We have sprawling cities where if you don't want to work a commute that would be 3+ hours each way you are precluded from most jobs and you better have 3-6 months of money saved to job search in your area at that point.
Millions of people are stuck in places where if you don't have a car you're going not going to finding much work or working a living wage.
Yes, I am aware and am in full agreement. I was referring to the more circlejerky aspect of this community sometimes where they ignore/cannot comprehend that so they act like anyone who has a car for any reason is evil and the problem and bad.
And I'm only exaggerating a tiny bit.
Are you under the impression that "carbrain" means "anyone who owns a car"?
Don't forget that if you do want to move closer to your job so you can walk you need a ton of money to find a rental or buy something.
