Oddly enough, in foreign markets those same companies offer a wide array of sedans.
There isn't a culture for the massive cars here, though it is changing slowly. There are a couple people with Rams and the like, but not many, and they are largely seen as idiots. Europe isn't known for its massive lanes and streets - I wouldn't want to drive one around here, let alone park in the city.
That same greed isn't isolated just to the US, and that is likely the reason they would never move away from their dependence on us. Even though in the long run it would possibly serve them better.
It is a pretty risky business making the assumption that none will change though. Perhaps it will hold for a while, but how much suffering do you think people will take before making a shift?
Yeah, I can't imagine what it would be like to try to navigate my truck through some of those roads. It would be virtually impossible I think. That's a good question about the suffering, but I think history has proven people spend more energy complaining about suffering than actually doing something about it.
Very true. But it only takes a few outliers to drag others and make a thing of it. Look at the vandalism of Tesla showrooms. Did you think "normal people" would be doing that kind of thing ten years ago? They aren't riots in a ghetto over police brutality, it isn't looting, it is altogether different from that, isn't it?
I think there are always going to be people who take stuff to extremes. The recent police brutality protests didn't start as riots, but a few people turned parts of them into that. There were still those who did it the right way. Squeaking wheel gets the grease though. Or the attention in this case, so maybe if chaos start small, change can as well.
And this is how I see it. A waterfall starts from a drip.
