We got a new GMC 2500 for plowing at work last fall. My boss was a big truck guy and crowing about how awesome it was. Mechanically, it was alright I guess. I didn't like the thousand speed Allison transmission.

Regardless, I made the boss sit in the driver seat, in drive, with his foot on the brake and told him to beep the horn when he could see me then crouched in front of the truck and walked forward. Took about 10 steps.

Repeated the same test with a treework company bucket truck International, easily 4 times the size. I can see the ground directly in front of the bumper.

It's not about the size of the truck, that lack of forward ground visibility is deliberate. It conveys a feeling of assuredness somehow.

It's ok, my children are inside the children killing machine. Fuck those other kids.

Americans don't care about mass shootings. Why would this be an issue?

Bold of you to assume they don't know and do care about it. Automobile safety rules are, like most safety rules, written in blood. As long as they profit from it or are legally allowed , they won't do anything about it

We are constantly looking for new places to hide kids in a country this full of pedophiles.

Group them into 3s and stack them in a trenchcoat, now you have 4 adults. Problem solved.

99% of cars in America are driven in non walkable areas anyway

There are quite a few problems related to this issue
