This could be solved so many different ways.

The most obvious is getting rid of the stupid CAFE regulations and Chicken tax that basically incentivise the fuck out of making these monstrosities.

The others are less likely to be done in a country like the USA with its 2 party system where the options are conservatism and fascist conservatism.

Im sick and tired of this bullshit claim that we can only choose beyween conservatism and fascism. This completely overlooks the Christian fascist theocratic option that is also available to those who really love "freedom".

Or just apply the CAFE standards to all vehicles equally, don’t create loopholes that enable this kind of shit.
