What HAS happened in the last six months is many privileged (white) Americans who had been protected from the worst of the Republican Party’s abuses suddenly began to be affected personally and could no longer ignore or pretend not to notice what has been happening for a long time.

In @fastcompany.com, I explained that Trump’s tariffs make giant vehicles even more expensive (new car avg is now >$50k). That encourages consumers to consider smaller and cheaper sedans – which Detroit no longer offers.
Oops.

Car bloat is limiting driver visibility in other ways, too. For instance, bigger cars require thicker A-pillars (the material btw the windshield and side mirrors).
At intersections, chunky A-pillars can easily conceal a pedestrian or cyclist.

Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of?
If it seems like forward visibility has gotten worse, you’re right: Since the 1990s, cars and trucks have grown bigger A-pillars that can create dangerous blind spots.
