MODERATORS
because they didn't want to piss off the blue-collar demographic, they're a huge voting block and drive trucks for work.
that's politics for you. creating nonsensical laws that aren't made to fix problems, but only to curry favor, be that with voters, lobbyists, whatever
That’s a bold assumption.
Yes. A lot of the people who drive trucks do so because "I'm a big boy! Listen to me make lots of noise in my big lifted truck! Vroom Vroom!!"
If people are actually using it for a small business or whatever, sure, I'll live, but most of the people who buy them are just buying them because they want people to know their dicks are small.
Should be to work. I work in an office and about 25% drive trucks to work. Not one of then tow, off road or carry anything in the back, but will definitely pay 125k thanks to loans on their big boy diesel truck.
One of the laziest shop steward's nephew I have ever dealt with had one of those trucks. You telling me a guy like that is hauling lumber on the weekends?
Over here (in Europe) they just changed that. Reduced tariff is only for trucks registered to a company. Private persons pay full. It cut back on truck sales drastically.
