    Why is it stupid?

    You are being really mean for someone saying, in general, that the next generation doesn’t seem to have it better. Why is that stupid? I don’t understand why you would think that’s a dumb sentiment to have unless you were just a mean person. Is that not a normal worry to have for children?

      It’s stupid to assume that just because someone is on an electric scooter, that person doesn’t have enough money to buy a car

        Is it possible someone like that exists? Yes. So what’s the problem with the thought process?

          The problem is judging this person based on your assumptions about them.

          It’s not such a terrible thing people are not owning cars.

            The only thing I placed any judgment on in my entire post was how out of control vehicle prices were. You inferred any other judgment all on your own. Maybe you shouldn’t jump to assumptions about someone’s intentions. This isn’t redit.

              I don’t think you realize how much your post comes across as assuming young people should aspire to own and drive cars.
