Yeah, I thought that would be a good generic example.

I went ten years without driving or owning a car.

Because the people who bought these cars paid $100k (at least) for them and they drive them around as symbols of technological power and efficiency.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are traveling around in a $19k Toyota Camry that works just fine.

I’m all in favour of Canadians taking up the cause of helping their American (not-Trumplican) cousins.

(edited to honor the heroism of my Canadian cousins)
