By the way, some of us like the vanity mirrors. This way we can fix our hair before going into Starbucks. As for the leather, it's a control thing over helpless cows.
As far as overconsumption, I think you are using alot of oxygen that could be put to better use for the benefit of others.

People that dont need it are driving up the cost of fuel by their overconsumption

Well, he does have a point about one thing.
Why do white collar workers drive 3/4 and 1 ton diesels?
For perspective, I grew up on a dairy farm and will continue farming after a I wrap up this silly agronomy degree next May. Our farm trucks are all diesel Super Duties, but we tow all kinds of stuff regularly-- cows, small grains, heavy equipment, the list goes on.
I'm pretty sure most could get by pulling the boat with a 1/2 ton on the weekend.

Besides...
Why does the goof need to make any point?
Why do some preachers have a $4 Million income?
Why do some folks wear $5000 suits...have multi-million $$ mansions....personal jets....etc etc.
We can all get by with the minimal needs, but for whatever reasons (good, bad, right, wrong) we buy what we want and find enjoyment in it.
It's a joke how people are concerned that somebody has something they don't need. People need to work on the art of being concerned about themselves and not feeling deprived and envious of the folks that have what they have.

I need a HD truck in the very near future so when I got my toys, I can actually use them with no problem.
Problem is... I didn't play my cards right, and I didn't know that I was going to be at this junction so quick needing a bigger truck.
But honestly, I don't need it right this minute... that's why I am waiting until next year before I buy. Also, I can get the truck I want... not what my wallet can only take.
That's what happens when you've got an education, great people skills, and a will-to-do things right.

What if someone isn't white or blue collar? I am full time dad, so my wardrobe is usually a tee shirt (no collar!). My 21month old is usually my only cargo, but yesterday I did pull my 4'X8' trailer while she was at her parents day out
One day I will win the lotto or something, and then I can pull a big boat or something expensive.
