TnskiI'm boycotting the oil companies the only way I know how by getting everything delivered
JAHpowSo, instead of driving somewhere, you're just letting someone else drive to you?
zuesI generally try to buy American made products because I know a lot of people who rely on that product to remain employed. Sure it's usually a little more expensive but if I'm able to pay it I don't mind because it's for the greater good of friends and the country.
I won't lie though. Honda's kick ass!

zuesI always loved the green tree huggers who lecture me about being green while they wear sweatshop made clothes and drive away in their Nissan Pathfinder.
Ahh yes white female virtue signalers. The very best.

brosasakiI mean, it *is* usually more fuel efficient, so you are taking money away from big oil...

apapel20Just like people shutting down pipelines and forgetting it’s gonna get there by train truck or ship instead, which have much higher failure rates and contribute a lot to pollution
ReturnToMonkeyBuying domestic helps literally tons. The top 15 cargo ships in the world contribute more pollution than all the world's cars put together! They even pollute more than all of Germany, a very productive country.

This is due to the fact that these ships use ultra low refined fuel that is heavy with sulfer and operating in international waters makes this legal. Sure they are way more efficient by ton of fuel per ton of cargo per mile but that is purely an economical viewpoint. The fact is they still dump out literally millions of tons of pollutants into the atmosphere, so when you buy something that was made in your country, you are helping out on that front as well as supporting local jobs :)
