If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don’t, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though. A man can dream.

    The US could import cheap quality cars from elsewhere but no. And thanks to Trump’s tariffs even locally produced cars will go up in price.

    With their determination to ban cheap imported cars and make it hard to produce affordable cars locally you’d think they would plan ahead and invest in mass transit, but also no

      Phil and I just had another kid, so of course we need a bigger SUV. Being a mom is hard, with soccer, football and lacrosse practice, so we bought the new Maibatsu Monstrosity. It’s so big! We lost little Joey in the back and couldn’t find him for an hour! When I’m rushing to the mall, or talking on my cell phone, I know me and my family are safe. The Maibatsu Monstrosity has 4-wheel drive, and in amphibious mode, it can cross rivers! So far I’ve only hit a few puddles, but it’s good to know it’s there. With the time I save taking shortcuts through the strip-mall parking lot I can focus on the important things, like gazing longingly at the pool boy or buying more exercise equipment off the TV. So what if it gets 3 miles to the gallon? I’m a mom, not a conservationist!

      The new Maibatsu Monstrosity - mine is bigger

      Before we blame Trump for everything, maybe Americans need to buy cars they can afford. An influx of cheap cars won’t fix anything when people are willing to fake it until they never make it driving expensive cars as status symbols. How many trailer parks have a Lexus parked out front?
