THE CAR IS NOT A LUXURY
It is an Instrument. of work

We have already said that in the United States there is one car for every 8 inhabitants compared to 1 for 100 in our country.
However, there, not everyone is rich, but everyone considers the car as an instrument of work.

IN THE UNITED STATES:
4,500,000 belong to farmers
1,600,000 are trucks
900,000 belong to commercial houses
150,000 belong to doctors
110,000 are taxis
90,000 are buses

These 7,350,000 cars, which are only instruments of work, represent half of the cars. The other half is used sometimes for business... sometimes for walking: in the proportion of 60% for business, to go to the office or to the factory, and 40% for walking.
