This comes off very much as "stop being poor lol." Was that your intent?

Not to pile on, but this is a similar vibe to people telling others to stop complaining about gas prices and just get an EV.

Some people can't afford a $38k car, heck, for some even $10k for a car is out of reach. There are people who have no choice but to buy a 20 year old ICE vehicle and pray it doesn't die. These same folks suffer due to the regressive nature of fuel tax.

I don't see how you could have gotten that from actually reading what I wrote.

> and they don't get a voice.

That's what did it. I initially interpreted it s "and their opinion shouldn't be counted" where I think you were saying "and they have little to no influence."

[kelnos]

FWIW, pretty much whenever I see that phrasing, the intent is your latter sense. I didn't see any ambiguity in what the OP wrote.

[jeffbee]

Yes, that is what I meant. I will try to avoid the ambiguity next time.
