>>1748369I've been saying this for years but boomers who can clean a carburetor and "don't want to run on government's schedule" don't seem to understand this.
I am as dependent on big oil, huge manufacturers and the government as a bus/train rider. My motorcycle and car needs:
>gasoline (which is subsidized ~$1/gallon by the government) >Gas station owners >Saudis who drill our oil >Car part manufacturers >Mechanics (Go ahead boomer, tell me how to fix a cracked transmission, I'll wait) >Government to pave the roads, fix traffic signals, survey roads >Need to hope you don't get caught in a speed trap >Car gets stuck? Need a tow truck! Owning a car for "independence" is about as silly as riding a motorcycle for "muh freedom of the open road!" its a boomer myth.
