[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 57 points 2 years ago (2 children) there are a lot of adults without family. Also a family needs a family car and not a truck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (4 children) I think, especially in remote areas of Canada, the standard family car would not be sufficient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) and whats the percentage of people living in remote canada in comparison to the total population? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago To me, a Jamaican, anywhere with snow or ice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago This photo is taken in Toronto though, pretty much as far away from remote as you can get. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dontwakethetrees@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Maybe not a Civic or Altima but I’ve seen many a Subaru go to places that a “standard family car” wouldn’t be sufficient. Without needing to be an oversized. Hell old jeeps are a fraction of today’s trucks and SUVs in size and could go deeper into rural territories. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bassad@jlai.lu 2 points 2 years ago Why not? permalink fedilink source parent [+] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -36 points 2 years ago* (3 children) Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving larger vehicles is dumb.

We've really gone full circle here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) TBH I don't think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we've made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles. Choices like: under investment in public transit and rail Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs low density housing policies And, if we're being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago You have a far more positive outlook than me. I've seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers. permalink fedilink source parent [+] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
