      How do you change that though? By beating down the people who have the least damage per person? Or by beating down the companies that push these products, and more importantly the ownership class that owns them and casually use private jets to chauffeur their poodles around?

        You cannot do one or the other to stop climate change. You have to do both. Again, cars are one of the single largest polluters in the world, and especially in the usa. The working class will need to make changes in their life styles as well. The problem is not solveable just by having companies change, consumers also need to be willing to accept changes in purchasing habits

          I feel you misunderstand my point.

          I’m saying consumers are way less responsible for their purchasing decisions than many people think.

          Car centricity is a societal problem. The big trucks are a car company propoganda problem.
