I want to add that if you NEED a truck you need a truck. I get it. If it is part of your actual job it makes all the sense in the world. If you are really well off and have a truck, and a camper, a side-by-side and a couple quads and dirt bikes I get it man. I have a friend who doesn't need a truck for work but camping in his pull behind camper is a huge part of his lifestyle. You know what he did, though? He bought a $900 beater to drive back and forth to work and for things like going downtown or picking up some fast food, because the $900 beater is likely to save him literally $10,000 over the life of his truck that he only drives when he needs a truck. That some serious big dick energy right there. Doesn't need his truck to impress the ladies.

What percentage of men driving trucks in suburbia are actually using them to haul stuff? It’s under 25 percent. In fact, I bet most trucks never even leave pavement. The fact that the cab has gotten much larger while the bed has gotten much smaller is pretty damming evidence. They’re nothing more than penis enlargers for unread men with too much money. They’d be just fine with a Camry or minivan tbh.

I've talked to dudes who have trucks and don't seem to need them for anything and one of them said "What If I buy a fridge? How will I get it home?" Well, there's this insane new service that has been invented called "delivery." It might cost $50 bucks or so to deliver the fridge if they don't offer it for free, which is a fraction of a single truck oil change.

I think what he meant to say is that he can attach WAY more Trump flags to his truck then he could if he had a sensible 4 door sedan.

Exactly. For very occasional needs you can rent a truck and literally save yourself 25% the price of a middle class home over 10 years vs buying, filling with gas, buying tires for, doing maintenance on a big truck.

I have had to take loads to the dump a few times over the last several years. I get a U-Haul (they're completely "covered" which the dump requires) and it's less than $100 all said and done.

You can leave good sense behind
'Cause your friends don't Vance
and since they don't Vance
Well, they're good friends of mine

I say, we can vote how we want to
For a peace we've yet to find
and we can act like you come from out of this world
You've left kindness far behind
You can Vance

We can vote how we want to
Kamala Harris is young and so am I
She dresses real neat from her hat to her feet
She'll surprise you with a victory cry

I say, we can vote how we want to
If we don't nobody will
Trump acts real rude
and totally removed
He acts just like an imbecile

I say, we can vote how we want to
JD Vance is out of control
You can Vance, you can Vance
He'll have watchers at every poll
You can Vance, you can Vance
Everybody look at JD Vance
You can Vance, you can Vance
But is it worth taking the chance

JD Vance
Well it's JD Vance
Yes it's JD Vance

You can Vance if you want to
He'll risk all your rights and mine
JD Vance will abuse it
JD Vance is gonna lose it
Everything's gonna work out fine

I drive a truck. But I fish and need to tow the boat pretty much every weekend during summer and no SUW( except of maybe Expedition ) can match towing ability of a truck.

I can sound super negative about trucks, but I absolutely understand that they are the thing you need to do certain other things. No criticism at all. And I assume some people who need a truck for something then get one and it becomes their everyday car because they spent their car money on that truck. It makes sense. But I will say, consider the guy I mentioned, get a very cheap beater car for A to B and picking up some fast food if the other option is a truck. I get that a lot of people don't want to be seen in a super crappy car. Those aren't people I care about.

Solid post and I do agree with a lot that you are saying. Especially growing the economy and naturally adding jobs and wages.

Agreed

Agreed and try to work, correct. Which again, Im not faulting them at all, this is not on them. They are wanting to get a head and there is a lot of honor in that.

Is it legal immigration or illegal immigration? Is it when they bring over need based immigrants or a large amount of similar low skilled labor?



This is a low skilled immigrant that doesn't have the funds to start anything, like majority of the illegal immigrants I'm talking about.

Again, this is low skilled labor, are you saying they came over, had housing in place, funds coming in and paid for medical insurance?

This is what happens, when you take a majority of low skilled labor. If 3 millions doctors crossed the border and settled here, what do you think would happen the medical field? What do you think would happen to American Doctors? What do you think would happen with the 3 millions doctors where there are no jobs for them and they don't have the money to start practices?

Im not anti-immigration, even though my posts might sound like it some times. I fully believe that we need to pause adding anymore people, see what we have, what we need to do to help everyone out who is there, get our house in order and then resume need based immigration. We need 500k people the following year in low skilled labor, let's get them in. We need 30k nurses, let's go get them.

One point I’m gathering from your posts, which seems entirely lost on others, is the massive amount of net migration over the last few of years. No doubt immigration improves the economy (+population growth), that’s Econ 101. However, when immigration is too large then it can become destabilizing and overwhelm our systems. There is zero doubt the massive influx post-Covid had a strong inflationary effect on shelter, by far the largest (and still persistent) contributor to the high inflation. That’s just one area. Many reports on HC system being overwhelmed in several locations.

Anyway, maybe a chart showing just how far above and beyond trend immigration has been up until recently might help others at least fully comprehend your view. I saw an interesting chart on border stops. Massive spike, not even comparable to later years.
