Just think, after a few more years of delays and tens of billions invested, you might be able to take a train from Merced to Bakersfield CA.

Russia and the Soviet Union build the most vast, expansive railway system in the world. And capitalist, innovative America can’t do it for jack shat.

Because a collectivist economic model works for everyone equally. A capitalist economic model works only for the 1%. If you want a system that works for everyone, then work to smash capitalism.

Yeah, because your average household making $65k can afford a $50k car. A car that has all sorts of phantom braking problems recently too. Get out of your insane echo chamber.

The average car bought by Americans in 2021 cost $47K.

They can afford an electric vehicle, they just instead choose to buy large vehicles. Those large pickup trucks you see on the road often start at $50K and go A LOT higher once you add a few bells & whistles.

That’s average NEW car. Some of us don’t buy new cars.

Unless you’ve been asleep the last couple of years you’d know that used car prices have gone completely insane now.

Regular gas today in downtown LA at $6.22/gallon. Brent touched $99 per barrel in the past 24 hours and it will be above $7.00 by the SOTU.

The people you hire for trades need big vehicles to haul.
I think we may see it in 2023.
Maybe …

Maybe he should change jobs

+1, find a new occupation that isn’t dependent on driving. I’ve been WFH for two years now. Couldn’t be happier.

If everyone who needs a big truck to do their job changed jobs, who would you hire to renovate your home? Or, who would deliver your online purchases? Or, deliver that new living room furniture you just bought?

My area is well served by public transit. Stop inventing hypothetical problems to support your failed argument.

I want to see the plumber with all of his tools take a bus you your house. Please.

He will when he can’t put gas in his truck.

Who cares? We “coastal elites” elected him. We don’t need losers in rust belt dead-end states. F’ em.

If you read only the headline you'll see an important caveat. The average NEW car cost $47K. I've never paid more than $10K for a car and don't expect I'll ever buy new Welcome to most of America.

It was $3.39 in Michigan this morning.

California prices are a different ballgame and should not be considered.

3.29 in Tampa.

3.39 in Aspen Hill, sorry to disappoint the Trumpsters.

This is silly. Russia has a great railroad because a good chuck of its people don't have food or enough food. They also don't have much of what we have. This is true in the old USSR and it is true now. But really admire that railroad.

Capitalism works for 90% of the people. Not 1%. We need to do more for the bottom 10%.
