There aren’t that many small cars being made (in the US at least). Ford stopped making anything smaller than an SUV, and Chevy just discontinued the Bolt (again! Which was a crossover this time anyway).

Then maybe throw in some fearmongering about “safety” (just escalation of who has the largest vehicle) and “I need an SUV for my children” (how much shit do your kids need to haul around on a daily basis?) or “I need to haul stuff for my house so I need a truck” (my hatchback fits A LOT of stuff. Sure it cannot fit a 4x8 sheet but neither can a modern truck with a short bed)

Also it doesn’t help that, for example, at U-Haul, employees just use their personal phone to scan a QR code and take pictures of your ID.

I expected the bottom to say something like “instead of cloud-native scalable microservices using AI models that cost an average US household salary per day to run”, but maybe I’ve been in corporate for too long.
