What, what if you already havea truck. You have to buy an extra car to go to the office now?
You don't need a truck. Get rid of it.
Unless you work as a handyman or farmer or something, you don't need a truck. You can ask a friend or rent a trailer for the once in a year occurrence you need to transport something huge.
Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.
Bullshit is a plumber or electrician working out of a hatchback. I've seen tradies working out of station wagons, and the poor thing is usually dragging it's ass on the ground like a dog with worms.
Neat, I'll let them know. But if you've any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don't know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.
They look like this.

I worked as a handyman out of a camry. It is possible, but not pleasant.
It's like telling an office worker that they need to work at a coffee table.
Yes, fair, and to be clear I'm not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.
What does the friend drive?
In my case, an f350 to pull giant trailers for an auction business he runs.
it really is one of those "if you have to ask" problems

If you already have a truck, you gotta learn from your past mistake and sell that thing for a smaller vehicle
But what if I need to buy lumber or haul a mattress to the dump?
Unless you're doing that sort of stuff super frequently you could rent one or borrow a friend with one. Should work out cheaper with the gas savings. That or get a station wagon.
But then someone else who presumably doesn’t need a truck will be driving a truck
Yes, sorry
No, you ride your bike to the office.
this is unrealistic because ron is the exact kind of person who would do this.. is this an actual line from the show?
No I believe it's "I have an uncle who does yoga"
Which is silly IMO
Doing yoga is damn good for you. It increases strength and flexibility so that you're way less likely to get injured doing physical activity.
That's the joke.
I'd say it could be taken multiple ways, either mocking the person doing yoga or laughing at Ron for his silly take
I know a few people who took it as "mocking the yoga doer"
They wrongly believe Ron is right, when hes usually being a manly man stereotype. A kind of extreme example, but people thinking Homelander is a good guy in The Boys is a similar deal, they're also wrong.
Disagree. Ron is pragmatic to a fault. Hauling air isn't pragmatic, nor does it do anything to hinder the function of government so I don't think he would.
TBF, he does live out in the woods and does a lot of woodworking and stuff like that. He probably has more use for a truck than most.
He also drives about the most reasonable vehicle on earth, a mid to late 90s Park Ave with a 3.8. Genuinely one of my favourite cars, absolute highway monsters bigger than some trucks and drive better than they have any right to.
Ron dives a car but no the line is about the uncle doing yoga
the 8th meme is free
