Would you rather make more money per unit product or less money per unit product?

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well yea, that's obviously why they do it.

doesn't make it good.

Change the laws. If it is a truck you should have to get a CDL, have to go to weight stations, cant drive on the parkway etc. If it is a car it should have to follow the emission rules cars have. There is no point in having standards if we make exceptions so big you can drive a cough.....sports utility vehicle....cough through.

Edit: of course we can pretty much end the pickup market tomorrow if we provide free therapy for men with a micropenis.

I am sure car companies spend a ton of money lobbying politicians to never do this.

Fine whatever. I will start leaving notes in the bed of gas guzzling pickups that say "sorry about the micropenis you feel you need to compensate for"

that would be a great way to undermine your entire cause.

some people just prefer larger cars, and pivoting to some bizarre comment about their genitalia is an incredibly stupid way to go about dealing with the issue.

I was just about to say the same thing to the person you were replying to.

Immature responses doesn't convince anyone of anything.
