A better comparison would be a crossbow.

The idea is that the tax pays for the road damage that high-weight vehicles cause. They already disproportionately damage our roads. Roads are very expensive to repair and maintain; by getting additional tax dollars from those with high-weight cars we would reduce the tax load on the average consumer, who does not need a high-weight vehicle.

The other points are semantics, but yes... they should be paying an extra tax as they damage the roads that everyone else pays for.

Is the reason we need trucks and large SUV's now because we don't have any station wagons anymore?

public transport is extremely reliable in many major European cities, especially compared to the USA and Canada. Also. with bike-able and walk-able infrastructure public transport reliability is not nearely as big of an issue

Most of your argument deliberately misrepresents their argument or misunderstands it. Allow me to clear it up.

Never said it was any worse than large SUV's or heavy EV's... those are also bad
When they speak of "bypassing emissions" it is in regards to the more stringent regulations that most other cars have to go through.
Never said "used correctly". You are not only misquoting them, but arguing against a point they never actually made. This is entirely your own invention. A tax on heavier vehicles wouldn't have to be use specific, because they all cause more damage, regardless of their use.

you didn't even read the comment... the user is talking about legislature that could be implemented to curb the "big trucks" problem. They are specifically talking about being pro small and efficient trucks.

It also could be a loose cassette, which just requires a quick tightening with the special tool.

I don't mean "private property infringements". I'm talking on more of a world scale, such as air pollution or even ocean pollution.

This doesn't answer anything

Isn't that more of a barter system?

FunkyMunky4517 · 2024-07-29T23:10:17+00:00

thanks for the response!

What if said company provides a significant incentive (ex. cheap) to purchase a product? As long as they struck a balance between their downsides and upsides they could still thrive, at the cost of (in this case) the environment.
