I tell you, it feels like the trucks today feel like they're designed for death squads.

Like I look at them and they feel very Trump era.

And that's when I saw that like the Tesla cyber truck, I was like, this is the truck that in the techno dystopia the death squads show up in.

Yeah, yeah, but that's death squad aesthetics, though, because the actual death squads and

actual ISIS are still driving the small, like the little Dotsons and stuff.

This is aspirational marketing to death squads.

Yeah, you don't want something that, you know, you got to be able to get parts for it,

you know, if you're out there in the, you know, idlib.

On the safety regulations aspect, an interesting thing to me is that our existing safety

regulations have now become, you know, completely irrational, right? Because if we look at the

pedestrian deaths, you know, you have to have whatever, like a backup camera, but it's okay to have a wall, right? These grills are essentially like hitting pedestrians with a giant wall. And the idea that that's like legal, it it makes it, like, why would you even have safety regulations

if you can just drive a big steel wall around at 80 miles an hour? Like, where is the thinking

about minimizing impact? Yeah, I mean, safety, you know, for, in the American auto context,

is about the safety of the driver, you know? And that also, by the way, I mean, safety, you know, for in the American auto context, is about the safety of the driver, you know.

And that also, by the way, I think is another factor in the decline of sedans and smaller trucks is that they've terrified the car buying public through the progressive penetration of these bigger and bigger automobiles.

Because if you're in a bigger automobile, you're safer because you're more likely to run over the other guy. But then, you know,

once everyone is like that, and then you're just back to where you started because everybody

has the same size truck. And so just, you know, just have these massive tangles of, of collisions.

So it's like you have, you know, interior airbags and a car fills up with foam,

like in a demolition man or whatever when you get in a crash. But the exterior, you know,

it's like the other your potential victims in other cars and on the street. Those don't get any

consideration. And, you know, federal regulators are going to do that. But, you know, there's a Detroit Free Press
