Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The US needs to stop giving special tax breaks to giant trucks.
This isn't tax breaks, it is EPA economy vs passenger space rules meant to force automakers to develop more fuel efficient engines. Instead, automakers keep extending the cabs and wheelbase. That's why all the big trucks are super cabs with tiny beds.
It is multiple things. The CAFE light truck loophole you mention, the car footprint loopholes that were added by bush and Obama, and the lowest in the world gas taxes, and the gas guzzler tax which only applies to passenger cars and sedans but not to trucks and SUV's.
