If you want true hell, try working a factory job, which is what I do.
8 hours a night, on 3rd shift, at least 5 days a week, because half way through the week JIT logistics could just decide you need to work a 6th and 7th day.

Tell me you don't live in a rural area without telling me you don't live in a rural area.
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but I live in a rural "city" and I feel this kind of solution would just barely work, if at all. You're still looking at nearly everyone out here needing their own personal vehicle. Like yeah cars ruin big cities, but for the most part the only thing cars really did for rural areas was just replace the horse and cart. Especially since I'm pretty sure a lot of railroads were closing down and or merging together for a variety of reasons long before the advent of cars and carbrain.
You should've countered with telling them that it looks like PepsiCo read that one greentext and took it as a challenge.
It continues to boggle my mind that any engineer actually signed off on this.
It's easy, the engineer wanted to not have to start looking for another job.
Gamers and the 'hardcore' gaming mindeset that started in the 2000s' ruined the video game community
and they saw the NES as exclusively a boys' toy
So there's a bit more to this, if I remember all this correctly, Nintendo couldn't exactly call the NES a 'video game console' when they started selling it in the US because the crash had pretty much made that a really bad financial move to call it as such. And also they had to sell it in the toys section to start with, which has had and still has a lot of segregation between boys and girls toys. And also considering how brick and mortar stores have acted for a long time, they likely had a bit of a hand in this in the way of demanding nintendo to pick if it was a boys toy or a girls toy or else they won't stock it.
Which is a real observable behavior you see in americans, in part because (for example) if there's only a couple tomatoes left in a case that holds 30+ it's become a sorta cultural natural reaction to think that there must be something wrong with them regardless of their actual condition. Which considering how often scam artists were and still are a thing here in the states and the general distrust of government institutions, it's not surprising one bit why you see this behavior happen frequently here.
Edit: I'm not sure why exactly this behavior exists, but that's what makes the most sense to me. And that i know my grandmother has this ingrained in her and she was born in the 50s, but that doesn't quite make sense as she was influenced by the waste nothing attitude from her parents who grew up in the great depression.
