Who's putting $200 of gas in their car per month, what you doing driving the Route 66 on a weekly basis? The shops all of 5 miles away if it's that.

I did when I had a really shitty commute for about a year and a half. Crazy thing is it wasn’t even that bad compared to some of my coworkers there.

This sounds like a guy who is upset that he cannot afford a car so he comes up with reasons why its bad to own one and better to be in his position but due to lack of car owner experience just fucks the numbers all up and then looks stupid.

[–] Unpeeled3828@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Doesn't sound like that at all. Ridiculous that there are people who think a car is a necessity. It might be a necessity in most of the US, you can thank car manufacturer for that. I'm fine using my feet, bicycle or train. If I need a car I'll borrow or rent one.

Anon is far too stupid to be trusted with a car

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Spending only $50 a week on groceries, I dont expect Anon will live very long due to malnourishment.

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, what's your weekly grocery bill just for you?

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I am in California, so it's usually more than $90 each week if I don't get fast food for any meal.

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, rough. Groceries can be wildly expensive.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Sadly yes. And they just get more expensive every year. Too bad wages have stayed the same since like, 2001.

Man, y'all really have no clue about other countries do you.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

Other countries have transit systems, they don't have to buy a car to get to Costco, this is obviously written by a stupid american about the US
