I get really sweaty when cycling 😂 but I'm a big advocate of my Vespa lifestyle 🛵

The town is 8 miles away, my friends and family are between 30 and 150 miles away, in the hills of apalacha. People driving aren't really living frivolous imo, they're escaping the city, and it turns out they will pay or sacrifice a lot for that. Someone has to own the trucks, the busses and equipment. Turns out people will still pay a lot of money, to save a lot of money, doing work themselves with equipment they can afford. Not everyone needs a pickup truck, but when you do, it's still more reasonable to own the means of production than rent it from someone else. I have trucks because I have trailers, I have trailers because I need to transport things, I don't need to ask permission from someone else to do that. Uhual, Enterprise, home depot and your neighbor with a pickup already participate in this economy. Turns out people who don't own trucks, still outnumber those who do, and will end up paying (or borrowing) to use them when needed.

I agree, fuck cars. if you have a truck, you should be building an empire with it
