I listened to the episode, and its genuinly horrifying how big auto’s pushing of bigger and bigger cars just keeps killing, and the majority of people seem to go “eh, thats just the way it is”

There are people who are afraid of flying, no disrespect to them, but I’d literally feel safer being on a 50 year old plane operated by a third world airline every single day than having to cross the street even once a week. I bet statistically, it actually is safer.
Look at this behemoth. People drive this so that they can’t even see the poors walking about.
Whoops meant to reply to op
Say, is that the new Canyonero?
I always hear “statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.” So you’re probably onto something there.
“statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.”
Where are you hearing that, and I’m almost certain it’s not true? On the other hand, “you’re more likely to die driving to the airport than on your flight” actually is true.
That can’t be right, can it? Lots of people are on planes and probably the average person takes more than one flight.
Well that’s a crock of shit. Probably some BS marketing an Airliner came up with. How often do you hear about a pedestrian being hit by a plane?
That cant be true. A plane has at least one person in it.
Bigger cars are more profitable. Small cars are not.
The average full size suv buying price is 80K. the average car buying price is like 30K.
this is also the same reason new starter homes are like 3000 sq ft today. and one from 30 years ago were 2000 sq ft.
the cost to produce a huge suv is not much more than it is to produce a small car, but the suv is commands 2-3x the price of the small car.
I literally need a bigger vehicle to protect me from the other assholes with big vehicles.
Road designs are horrible, and everyone wants to buy hummer-sized SUVs and Trucks. What do you expect?
