They’ve been enacting a conspiracy to release billions of tons of a metal so hazardous it explodes on contact with water into our oceans, and they’ve been at it for millions of years with nobody to stop them
Definitely not giving up, was just making a bit of a bait-and-switch joke about how so many people feel like they give up their “freedom” by giving up their cars.
In reality I take my bike with me everywhere and love it when public transport is accommodating to this.
Yes, all the manufacturing workers in the US should just… Work from home. And the restaurant, warehouse, service sector, and, like, everyone else. Just work from home! It’s magic!
Only a very tiny minority of people have the privilege to even be capable of working from home. The idea that everyone, or even a significant minority can, is absolutely ridiculous.
I would love to have functional public transit across the US, but unless your goal is to entirely eliminate all rural life–which would include farms–you’re never going to be able to eliminate cars. I live near Atlanta; public transit there is abysmal. Building an elevated light rail system, and creating dedicated bus lanes throughout metro Atlanta would make the city much easier to navigate. But when I say near ATL, I mean that it takes about 90 minutes to get to the center with zero traffic. There’s simply not enough people to make buses viable in my town (there’s only one traffic light!), much less light rail.
If only we could have a one company pick people up and deliver them to another point or work from home and have our stuff delivered.
The thing that picks people up could even have metal wheels as it follows a fixed route, and run on metal roads
Oh so you just wanna fill the oceans with micrometals!
Shellfish already beat us too it!!!

Nah, I’d rather not give up my personal vehicle. Frankly, biking is so much better than all the alternatives when possible.
A lot of trains allow riders to bring their bikes onboard, no need to give it up.

Or work from home and walk to the grocery store that’s within walking distance.

People on this community really think its so simple to make everyone live walking distance to a train or bus and for everyone to work from home.
“Well, SOME people will need to have cars.” but also “death to cars”
I applaud the attempt, but you’re all insane.
Indeed. It’s just not possible.
