For a politician who’s honest I imagine “We’re keeping everything shut down no matter the consequences” to be a hard sell when so little is known. Don’t know if a vaccine will be effective, don’t know when one will come, don’t know if the virus will mutate, don’t know how effective new treatments will be, don’t know…

I’m amazed “Truck Yeah” is even a thing in everyone-should-walk-and-ban-trucks-commielopnik

This. I really wish David or Andrew were writing all the content here. They seem to be the only balanced automotive viewpoints of the writing staff. Its like everyone else hates cars or car culture. I have always loved Jalopnik for its irreverence and counter culture attitude, but it seems like most of the writers…

This is a Truck Yeah article right?

Trucks (and crossovers) are big, comfortable, skirt CAFE, and don’t get horrible mileage anymore. They also cruise at highway speeds without issue. They will sell regardless of how “cool” they are. Wagons and minivans were never cool, they provided cheap practicality for families, which is why their popularity went…

You’re also forgetting that pickups can handle shitty roads better than any car can.

That was my point. The headline is “Brits aren’t buying cars!”. Meanwhile, in America, we are running out of trucks to sell.

Except Trudeau and Beto

Try harder, troll.

Can we, for a second, talk about the fact that the writer of this article, who is calling to shut down NYC streets to cars, has a recurring segment where he films himself talking about interesting cars he finds....on the streets....in NYC.

He has a recurring segment where he talks about the cars he finds....on the streets.....in NYC.  Literally calling for an end to his own job.

“In NYC, I would love to see many, many more streets taken away from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes instead.”

Because cars are bad now. Didn’t you read neutral? Everyone should walk now. Take back car spaces.  Dont forget to hate America and demand to stay home forever.

In NYC, I would love to see many, many more streets taken away from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes instead. What about in your town or neighborhood?

First Gear: HOLY CRAP, nobody is buying new cars in England, where they aren’t allowed to buy new cars because the dealerships have been closed.

Jalopnik now appears to be focused on writing articles shaming or calling people names that have different priorities than you do.

I’ve work in testing too. This mess is driving me nuts:

I’m a sales analyst at one of the Big 3. You’d probably be surprised how strong our retail sales have been in April. They certainly aren’t what would be considered good in a normal situation, but they aren’t down nearly as much as I expected. They’ve also been gaining strength in the back half of the month.

And where would the money come from?

Um... one problem with your logic. If no one is working, where does the unemployment money come from? I realize this may be the beginning of the socialist utopia you’ve always dreamed of, but eventually you’ll have to wake up and realize it’s not sustainable.
