I could be wrong but I think these are prepaid, not paid on delivery...
They specified 1 significant figure
at that level it's the same.
This is the same argument used for blaming the cost of college on government loans for education, for $$$ housing prices in cities that offer low income subsidies, for food prices due to food stamps...
That's because you're thinking of trucks used first and foremost for heavy duty "truck stuff." That is not the only market for trucks, at least in the US: https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-size-pickup-truck-you-need-a-cowboy-costume
According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.

I work for a big company, and while yeah it's a big faceless company, the people treat us ICs as assets, not liabilities; the company makes money because of its employees, not in spite of them, and they
colleagues, manager, director, SVP

My partner's company OTOH seems to treat employees more as a liability
the kind of attitude of "we'd be more profitable if we didn't have to pay you," which is really aggravating (different industry than mine, so this is more the norm mindset unfortunately).
It's really clear how this whole farce of a government agency views the world.
"...and there are no comments, because it's Self Documenting™"
Modern bots are bad, but the old school IRC (maybe early Battle.net?) bots... I'm cool making an exception for them if you are.
Stupid adults being stupid and paying for their stupidity is one thing. But 1) this affects their kids, and 2) this can affect my kid (<1yo) and anyone who can't get vaccinated because they're immunocompromised/etc.
