I often ask people to think about cars .. especially here in China where most people are not morbidly obese ...
What is it that is to be transported? In most cases one person and a handbag or one person and a briefcase. Some times just a child to school.
But an SUV frequently weighs more than 20 times the payload... Oh, but we must have them. We must also have cars designed to fly along at 250 km per hour ... though most countries don't have roads where such idiotic speeds are either legal or practicable.
Pan motoriscus thinks it is a god given right to own whatever they want. And any ape should be allowed to fly airplanes. Silly primates indeed ...

It's the stupid the glass is still half full mentaltiy that is to blame.

Tell me about it. It is just getting more and more extreme.
