I call it a science fiction short-short, not a conspiracy theory.
But either way, cursed.

I'm pretty sure that's photoshopped, although to be fair, the real thing only looks fractionally less ostentatious:

Does anyone remember the days when pickup trucks were known for being rustic, light-duty work vehicles, instead of $60,000 displays of materialistic pretension destined to be parked in front of an equally vulgar McMansion?

I blame the nineties.

It's actually theNTSB, EPA and IRS' fault. A lot of really good tax incentives were given to fuel efficient cars, so automakers got really, really light in safety to lower weight and wind resistance. The first Hyundai Elantras, the Geo Metro, the early Honda civics and Toyota Corolla s were doing gangbusters. Cheap to build, cheap to maintain and cheap to fuel, but then car crash fatalities started to spike hard, so the NTSB made required safety requirements much stricter, which made cars way more bloated in appearance to accommodate crumple zones and airbags. This increased weight and wind resistance, so they needed more gas to operate. Some places detuned engines to try and burn less fuel, others made everything look like a shoe to reduce drag. Honda and Toyota made hybrids.

What happened as a result was trucks started to get hit with heavy taxes, registration fees, insurance deductibles, etc. So the EPA, IRS, NTSB, auto makes and a shit ton of state based agriculture, construction and logistics agencies/unions/lobbying groups got all the taxes, fees etc lifted from anything that classified as a truck, as they were pitched as utilitarian necessities of the working class. But the automakers realized the NTSB definition of truck meant they could start converting the luxury car market to the truck division. Since now trucks, vans and anything that could be remotely considered a utility vehicle was now exempt on a lot of requirements, fees and taxes, the people paying those taxes on their big ass European luxury cars, Cadillacs and the like realized they could just get a swanky Ford F250 with the king ranch badges, leather seats and every amenity on a 7 series without a lot of the hassle or registration fees, and then the market moved accordingly

Thank you, bestiality whores, for kindly labeling yourselves and reminding everyone that once you go black, you never go back...

Because no decent white man will have you.
