I saw a comment from another person on here not to long ago talking about their only car having their engine explode on them.

Anyways the comment was them realizing they did not have $30,000 to $50,000 just laying around to purchase a brand new car. A car that they realized they don't use much outside of a 50km radius around their house, and that they only purchased the car to be able to get to work because there are not other options avaliable. How is this considered freedom.

Most people don't realize, but owning a car is in some cases something that can push a chunk of the population into poverty. Or at the very least cause people to choose between purchasing food, or gasoline.
