That's the problem, you just repeating the Gospel without understanding the externalities involved in the regulations you advocates for. Many times, you are not free to set the price of goods, especially in today socialist / regul

Can't answer your comment further down so I'm doing it here. We (my direct family and I to some extend as well) haul your food, your mail, we build the infrastructure and mine the ore you rely on. Don't fuck with us, because

Fortunately, we live in a free society where what you "agree" on is irrelevant to the discussion. Now, if you want to legislate my freedom away, now I do have a problem with that and we will not be friends.

Just as if you could plan which tool you'd need for a job... You'd be surprised how quick you can go from using a ratchet, to an impact, to an air driven 3/4" impact, to requiring an oxy-acetylene torch for a given job..

That's complete bs, see my comment above. Pickups are much more flexible than vans. The problem is the insurance model which insure the vehicle rather than the driver. Thus why some people daily drive their pickup because maintaining a

Please do not imply were dumb. We're not spending 100,000$ just to show off. We do need them, because we need to haul 2000-4000lb at a time over hundreds of miles and tow 5,000lb to 30,000lb on a regular basis. My biggest haul personal

A full size pickup with passengers and cargo. IIRC my dodge 2500 is ~6000#, plus 2500# of cargo, your pretty much there. A 2018 Ford F350 Super Duty dually is about 8000#, add at least 3000# of cargo, your already at 11k#.

The current mainstream [radical] left Gospel meets the definition of dogma, as in, they are just as bad as the darkest religion they themselves condemn. Not very difficult to understand.

No, only ad-hominem against people carrying the Gospel are frowned upon. There has been plenty of ad-hominem against me and I don't see you condemning those.

"bad things" is a subjective concept. A former roommate was building a website in the mid 2000 for a dildo company. You probably don't care, but a religious zealot might consider it "bad". We're gonna make a de
