Feel like it would hit harder if the first panel simply said “There is no trolley”.

It’s not that I disagree with the premise. Car sprawl sucks. But, brevity pairs well with humor.

Still funny.

Me: Jokes on you, I can afford a real breakfast.

Also me: dies of heart failure in my 50s

I was a musician for a few years, and some players had what we jokingly called GAS. Which is “Gear Acquisition Syndrome”. They were always buying, selling, and trading things like amps, instruments, effects, etc.

I found all that constant GAS stuff to be very annoying. So I know where you’re coming from…I think.

I will give a mild counter-argument: an expensive tool probably won’t make you better at a task, but a cheap crappy tool very well could make you worse at a task. I think there’s a sweet spot somewhere in the middle.

But overall, I appreciate your anti-consumerism take. People buy too much crap.

Health insurance company I worked for would automatically reject claims over a certain amount without reviewing them. Just to be dicks and make people have to resubmit. This was over 25 years ago, but it’s my understanding many health insurers still pull this shit. They don’t care if it’s legal or not. Enforcement is lazy and fines are cheaper than medical claims.

Obviously this is in the USA.
