The annual cost of owning an automobile ranges from $5,200 to $10,500. There are 82 vehicles per 100 people in the United States. In addition, construction and maintenance of all roadways costs around $200 billion per year, or about $600 for each individual. The GDP per capita of the United States is $56,200. Therefore, the cost of mere automobile ownership and usage amounts to at least one eighth, or 12.5%, of our entire economic product.

The median personal income is closer to $41k, and pickup trucks cost closer to $10k to own and operate, so a pickup owner in a rural area (i.e. not an exurban leech) is probably going to spend a third of their income on their vehicle.

highly recommend ublock origin.

someone told me once that car commercials are to lessen the blow of people who have just bought the advertised car rather than get new customers. idk if that true, but I am repeating it online so do what you will with that…

Nah for me the worst one is pharmaceutical advertising

“We know you’re too stupid to evaluate the effectiveness of these drugs but your doctor won’t say no because you’ll leave them a bad Yelp review if they don’t give you what you want! Here are four hundred different ways this pill can make your eyeballs fall out”
