A car is a necessity, nobody is denying that and I state as much. To be clear, I think people should be able to afford cars. I just don't think it's weird to work at a factory where you make luxury items more expensive than the average person can afford.

Ok, so we can say in plain terms: a person working in a factory should be able to afford **buying a car**.

Yep, and I think that would have been a better title.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But that is the title.

It's alright, I'm willing to just take the L on this one. I just thought the title was inferring something that it seems some people don't.

I...uh...don't know how to respond to this. It's never happened before.

But for real, though. Thank you for engaging in good faith and being amiable.

A car shouldn't be a necessity. public transport, short transfers, walkable cities and all that. But I agree – it is a necessity, sadly.
