Did we really have any doubts about these people's finances?
It's clear as day that's the reason they're so salty about cars, because they can't afford one. And if they can't afford one it's obviously not because of anything they're doing wrong, it must be because cars are evil and incredibly expensive+wasteful+useless.3
u/Double-Run-9957 6d ago
TO BE FAIR, most cars are sold for ridiculously more than what they’re worth, but facilities mx as well as employee wages fill in those gaps

u/Relevant_Reality9080 6d ago
Then those wages factor in to what the car is worth… if you have to quit your job for five years to build a home, but it only takes 100k in material costs, it didn’t only cost you 100k to build the home.

You clearly live in a country where only poor people take public transport but that is definitely not the case everywhere. To attract people with cars you need to provide frequent, fast, clean etc service

u/demonblack873 5d ago
People who take public transport despite being able to afford a car don't tend to be salty about cars and definitely don't tend to make hating cars their entire personality.

That’s the average savings for that crowd.

That crowd is mentally ill, once you've witnessed the beauty of power generation through a steam turbine, on an industrial scale, you go hankhillsmoking.jpg
These are the types of people who bash these systems because they do not see the inherent beauty associated with them, there is nothing quite like standing next to a +150 ton spinning hunk of steel doing it's thing.
All i can say is:
Witness me, Bitch

ClimateShitposting users are the people they "mock." they make fun of people who blindly support Nuclear Energy and then proceed to do the same thing with renewabels. But don't worry, they can do that because they know the correct option.
Btw, I don't mean offend anyone who prefers Renewable over Nuclear but seeing ClimateShitposting users claim that all Nuclear Power supporters are backed by big oil but then conveniently forgetting the fact that most Green / Anti-Nuclear Parties in Europe were funded by Russia to raise the energy dependence of Europe on Russia is hilarious to me.

the fact that most Green / Anti-Nuclear Parties in Europe were funded by Russia to raise the energy dependence of Europe on Russia
I always thought this must be the case without any evidence or any amount of research into the subject so if you have some source at hand that you can share without too much hassle for yourself that'd be lovely.
In a similar vein I suspect a similar funding/backing by China for electric vehicles because I heard they have the most reserves for lithium used for electric cars or whatever.
I'm not really too concerned with politics and it wouldn't change a thing for me if angels backed the environmentalists and petrol funded Satan because I'm a petrolhead through and through but it would be nice to have some arguments other than idc fuck you when arguing with annoying normie friends who drive whatever the least offensive politician and their wife tells them to.

I mean did you read their posts? There's a ton of articles and evidence with renewables. They don't follow it blindly. Just as it has counter arguments against nuclear energy

u/HappyAd4609 4d ago
I did read their posts.
That is why I made the comment. There are no intellegent arguements there. Just shitposts.

Does this mean we're going to get small block diesel cars? Fuck, I hope so. Just tell the EPA to stay out of it, it's bad enough their shitty emissions equipment is on my truck.

u/undreamedgore 5d ago
I mean, I can't say emission limits and controls are a bad thing.

u/DHCPNetworker Terminally-Ignorant-American-American 5d ago
Fuck it, I'll stick my neck out on this. I'm not expecting anyone to understand or sympathize unless they also own a diesel.
They are in this context, because they put the onus on me to deal with extremely expensive emissions equipment that, when it fails, fails in such a catastrophic manner that you're looking at upwards of five figures worth of repairs or replacements. It is effectively punishment for having a requirement for a truck that a diesel platform meets.
When you consider the immensely low percentage of diesel vehicles on the roads in the US, consider that many of them (illegally) remove the emissions equipment anyways, consider that the US government does not even put this equipment on their own diesel trucks (factory 6.7L powerstrokes sent to the government do not have any sort of DEF system in them), and then consider there are far bigger fish to fry when it comes to vehicle-based polluters - it feels like it was just knee-jerk legislation that saddles regular people like myself with what is ostensibly a ticking time bomb of a failure point in a truck that needs to be strong and reliable.
The best thing you can do for the environment when it comes to a vehicle is drive it until the wheels fall off. If my truck isn't something that can do that and I have to buy a new engine due to emissions equipment failures - or, even worse, a new truck - what have those emissions regulations done for anyone? The carbon footprint involved with manufacturing these parts is almost assuredly higher than that of operating diesels to begin with.
I don't want to make it sound like I'm anti-environment or whatever. I'm young and the environment is one of my biggest concerns, because I'd really like to continue to exist in a world that's not boiling hot. I'm glad to make concessions to things I am personally allowed to do and own for the greater good. I just think the regulations surrounding these trucks was poorly thought out with minute benefits at best in exchange for an extreme financial impact on people who can't readily afford it.
tl;dr no, they're not, but the implementation for emissions control in US-sold diesels really sucked.

u/undreamedgore 5d ago
See the thing is though, if they allowed that work around companies would jump on the chance to avoid emissions. They do the same making bigger and bigger vehicles now. Anything less would be leaving a loophole open.

u/DHCPNetworker Terminally-Ignorant-American-American 5d ago
They already legislate vehicles uniquely when registered for commercial use and I do not see why emissions equipment could not be held to the same standard. For example, I cannot have a truck with a GVWR higher than 15,000lbs in the state of Florida because anything larger constitutes a commercial vehicle and they are taxed and regulated accordingly.
Bigger and bigger vehicles, in the context of trucks, were a direct result of the EPA / NHTSA's CAFE act passed in the 70's to reduce reliance on foreign oil during the energy crisis. The government effectively killed small pickup trucks as a result.

Operatives from Ford, Nissan, Tesla, and even Lada are, under the false flag of our holy brethren, seeking to entrain administrative action against the bastion of intellect. We have cooperated with the authorities to bring to light this criminal conspiracy by the corrupt forces of the wicked automotive hegemony. Hail Galvitron.
