The portion of people that have these vehicles and fit the very narrow use case that it specifically satisfies is observably very small. People that don't need a truck often can rent one. As mentioned by others, many of these trucks aren't particularly good at what they were ostensibly built for. As my grandfather might have said, "those are just for sellin'".

Judgement is fair, partly because these trucks only exist because of the scam legal definition of "light" trucks, partly due to the climate impact, but most immediately because of how dangerous they are to everyone else.

There's a whole book about this: # Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich.

Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you intend to live indoors.

At first I was annoyed, until I realized "drop" is an antagonym.

The Aquaman movies were laying some groundwork for the Warlock comics to maybe be included, which is a hollow-earth reality. It's too bad they did such a terrible job.

The risks of sodium aren't universal (some people appear to have immunity), and were exaggerated by the sugar industry.

Hmm, that's a good point. Washington finally relented, they were a hold-out for a long time.

Everyone should also get a procedurally-generated theme song.
