Normal people outside of America in rural places live in communities that can arrange for firewood delivery. The only reason you need your own truck is because you don’t have any semblance of infrastructure, community or mutual aid. This is a policy choice and a failure of your culture.

It’s even worse than THAT: those huge trucks you see nowadays are almost never used to haul anything, and the owners don’t even try to pretend anymore -they acknowledge that it’s just about giving off a manly image.
I’ve lived in a rural area and my neighbors were always happy to lend me something if I needed it. If I needed a truck to haul wood I could just borrow one, or even get it delivered.
So if I didn’t have a truck and you don’t have a truck. Nobody 20 miles around you doesn’t have a truck. What you do now? What you’re saying is you rely on others. Thats nice and all, but at some point you need to do stuff “Yourself”.
Well thank you! So if everyone relied on the same service for firewood. It be like Amazon where it’ll take 3 days minimum to get it. Plus I pay next to nothing. My land has trees. I cut them down, and then replant new quarter grown trees. Not everything is delivery like some are thinking.
Not the person you replied too, but US is so large, I can imagine there’s situations where policy can’t support those sorts of things.
Not mention the fact that people who live in rural areas are more likely to have a culture of not wanting to interact with others and doing things on their own. Regardless, many of the policy changes to reduce car usage are really aimed at reducing car usage in dense areas rather than outright bans or the like. If these policies continue to work out in the US, the relatively few people living in rural areas with vehicles wouldn’t be problematic (in terms of causing traffic nor causing injuries/deaths)
I feel this is such an dramatic and reaching response it’s almost like your intentionally being obtuse.
Some people like reducing their reliance on other people. It seems I need to emphasize the word REDUCE. I chose that word specifically instead of remove because as you pointed out, removing reliance on others is very difficult. These people sre the type of people I am referring to when I say they like to do things on their own.
They are propagandized and agents for the global empire. Their feelings about independence is bullshit and they are a drain on the rest of the world subsidizing their lifestyle.
The US is in no way exceptional or different than anywhere else.
Only in America is “doing things on their own” involve running a global empire to ensure their supply of oil. Without the federal government subsidizing rural people in America it would be physically impossible for them to live there, this is literally the opposite of being independent they are extremely dependent on massive globalized infrastructure.
Not everyone wants the US to run a global empire and coincidentally, the people were talking about are more likely to want the US interfering less with their lives and outside the country.

Wood is over priced and I have land that I cut trees down and replant new ones as I go.

@Habahnow yes, going from 1000 to 999 is a major achievement and something to bi proud of.

Then they better get used to not having trucks.
