I get why you’re outraged, but I don’t think your assumption that the other poster is shilling for u-haul is well founded. As far as I know (from the last time I rented a U-Haul years before this administration), they don’t ask you what you intend to use it for. It is a tool with an obvious purpose—moving your stuff from one location to another.They also make you sign paperwork saying that people will not ride in the back, so they had reasonable safety in mind within the intended purpose of the unit and the anticipated risk factors within that use case.It is a good point that they should probably change their policies to log the intended use now that they know their trucks have been used in this way, but it isn’t reasonable to think that they should have anticipated that their moving trucks would have been used by ICE before it happened.

There's nothing that I enjoy more than seeing attempts at tone policing, and throwing an ice cold bucket of i don't give a fuck on it.

Now I will absolutely lean into dragging U-Haul for complicity in the American Holocaust. Predominantly for their stepping up to provide material assistance for hauling children to Concentration Camps.

Meanwhile, you will stand over there and stick berries up your nose while the fascists run wild.

That's a lot of extrapolation. I don't care about the company, I only asked a logistical question. I was thinking how they could have prevented this from happening. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible. Having rented a moving truck before, I've been asked the basic questions of expected mileage or if you're driving it out of town and whether you want additional insurance. My point was that there is no method to verify what the customer says about their purposes. Rentals get used for purposes other than house moving all the time and there's not really a way to stop it. I have no warmth for the largest moving company in North America, which is why I use a local option when possible, but I also won't attribute malice for what isn't possible for them to stop. It's entirely plausible this same thing is happening with rental trucks of Penske or small local places and it just hasn't made the news. Despite naming them, my question had nothing to do with U-Haul specifically, so coordinated action isn't particularly relevant unless you are advocating everyone buy their own moving truck.

This is all just plea bargaining to claim complacency instead of complicity.

I'll redouble my efforts.
