Nothing inherently wrong with expensive toys for adults. Not my cup of tea, but still.

Not inherently, but the way people drive? Some people definitely treat driving like a literal toy or a video game, and have no respect for how easily you can kill someone. I can’t help but feel like this is a result of american car culture (speaking from an obv american perspective , since the world obv revolves around us /s)

Agreed, nothing inherently wrong with expensive toys for adults. For instance, I have a sailboat. I just don’t insist that everybody structure their lives and build their world around it.

nothing wrong?

what planet do you live on, where pollution isn’t a problem, where they have a clean ocean that’s not so acidic shellfish can’t form their fucking shells?

please, tell me there’s nothing wrong with stealing your enjoyment from the mouths of future generations?

I was not referring to cars specifically. I was referring to people spending money for things that make them happy.
