And you can't afford the replacement SUV because Elon stole your job. Or your neighbor lost her job and no longer patronizes your business or pays the taxes that paid for your state job, etc.
So even if Trump allows oil companies to poison our air and water without paying taxes, the cost of a tank of gas will be the least of your economic worries.

@TheWarOnCars I keep coming back to this idea for an advert.
Cars ≠ Freedom.
Being forced to sit in a metal box, pay some billionaire for gas, be spied on everywhere you go, breath in poisonous fumes, need to carry an ID at all time.... #TheWarOnCars
I almost skipped this episode @TheWarOnCars
Glad I didn't. You all riffed off each other so wonderfully 
it was hilarious. Almost worth listening to just for Sarah's take down of the Jeep advert. #TheWarOnCars

We've got a new Patreon bonus episode out, about a weird old book called "The Romance of the Automobile Industry." Published in 1916, it's propaganda for car dependence, primarily to increase wealth and bolster the elite. And, yes, we get into the whole "eugenics" thing.

Periodically some people call for cyclists to pay “road tax” saying that they contribute to wear on the roads etc. so should pay towards maintenance.
As I understand it the amount of wear a vehicle causes varies based on the fourth power of the axle weight.

Cities and Fashion with Derek Guy, the Menswear Guy
How do dense, walkable cities influence what people wear? Otherwise known as The Menswear Guy, Derek Guy rose to fame on social media for his takes on men's fashion.

NEW EPISODE!
"Cars Are Done" with Adam McKay.
We talk with the Academy Award–winning screenwriter, director, and producer about the existential anxiety that led him to write and direct "Don’t Look Up." Plus: Adam's relationship with driving, the power of visual storytelling, and why he thinks the age of the car is already over… even if most people don’t know it yet.

Ma tu, che guidi un cavolo di SUV, puoi sorpassarmi gridandomi:
- TOGLITI DALLA STRADA CHE NON È TUA!
Quanta pazienza che ci vuole, e soprattutto quanta rabbia che riescono a trasmetterti.
