This is just insane. Not only are cars themself mostly unnecessary, if the right infrastructure is provided, but SUVs also use more resources to run and be produced then small cars, without any advantage over them. So an obvious waste, which could easily be cut to reduce emissions.

You're making an assumption that it's an exaggeration. I actually touched on this earlier but we're on the Internet and unless someone goes to lengths to make it clear they are exaggerating or being sarcastic or whatever, that kind of stuff does not convey.

Example, I fucking hate all ice cream.

Am I exaggerating or do I actually hate all ice cream?

Intentional or not, it's an exaggeration. Only a sith deals in absolutes!
