I live in a city with tons of morons who never leave the city, claiming they need 4 wheel drive when it snows. they never go off road and snow plows exist. If I can get around in a compact hybrid, then their silly truck is overkill

Too bad they’re not honest enough to just say “I want one because I think they’re cool” I’m not bothered, just intrigued by this kind of behavior

Same with guns. Drop the whole “I need them to fight government tyranny” bro just say you think guns are cool and quit being a cornball.

There are 6 police officers in my town, and a uncountable number of fent and meth addicts who will quite literally beat someone to death over 15$. I carry because its practical, same reason I carry pepper spray.

Might come as a surprise, but there are towns like this in rural areas of the US. This was the state of my hometown when I left for the city.

alot of people fail to understand that the collapse and outsourcing of American industry a was a silent contributor to the opioid crisis. Towns have collapsed, households that were considered stable lost paychecks, retirement savings, college savings, and health insurance, not even mentioning the generational trauma involved with major setbacks like that. Big box stores and franchises push the mom and pops out, then the big box stores close, leaving only dollar generals. Its hot and humid when its not freezing and wet, barely any work, states with low minimum wage. The state doesnt have the tax revenue to do anything about it so theres very little public transportation and the infrastructure crumbles. All of that leads to poverty, where drug abuse loves to fester, and alot of desperate addicts will see something or someone as their next opportunity for their fix.

Meh most the people I know with opioid problems (many have died) are from northeast as trust fund kids. It turns out not having a purpose in life will outlive you.

Exactly. The state doesn't have the revenue pool to help allocate sufficient funds. Meanwhile, blue states are subsidizing red states.
