    dumb people can’t figure out math or make long term plans

    Wow, a smug, sanctimonious, self-congratulatory asshole who spends thousand words making the problem just a little bit worse rather than exhibiting even just a little bit of understanding or empathy for others who are in different circumstances or come fr a different background, who also thinks some technology is also the solution to a social problem.

    Shocking!

    Try again, only this time without letting yourself believe that other people are just dumber than you. Because you sound downright mid.

      Nah, other people ARE dumber than me. You know this, I know this, everyone knows this.

      We both know how many idiots there are driving around stupid impractical vehicles, trucks that have never been off asphalt or ever carried more than a hockey bag in the bed and 8 seat SUVs that have never had more than 4 people in them.

      If someone is buying a NEW vehicle today, and they’re choosing an ICE, they’re clearly not making the best financial decision. The only good financial options are used ICE vehicles, used EVs, and New EVs. The only exception to this may be a mini-van simply due to a lack of EV options in this category.

      If people want to make poor financial decisions that will end up costing them more money, they can go right ahead, but we shouldn’t call them smart for doing so.

        I’m not sure why you got downvoted so much. I live outside Calgary and you’d think sedans or any regular sized car doesn’t even exist here. Then you get the ironic “Fuck Trudeau” folks pulling up to the gas station with their big ass truck and complain about gas prices. No shit you pay a lot, you modified the engine to roll coal when you accelerate. Morons, the lot of them.
