    In Switzerland there was apparently some kind of loophole in the tax system which allowed you to register your pickup truck as a company vehicle (and pay less) even when you don’t have any company or if you are just working as a hairdresser…

      I fucking hate these piece of shit cars. I will never not think that they all have to compensate for something.

        100%, you drive a vehicle like that and you are just screaming to the void “don’t look at my small penis and/or small paycheck”.

      Same in the UK. Very curious how all over the world, governments created exactly the same tax loophole. I can’t think which highly resourced industry might have been involved in “advising” them

        At least in Switzerland, people were really using them for work until a few days ago.

        It was only farmers, carpenters or builders until it became a trend.

        I guess the law was okay before but they never thought that someone would want to have such a huge vehicle just to get groceries 😅
