What do you mean?
If a family with two small kids and a dog wants to visit relatives that are 10km away, I imagine a car solves lots of their problems.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoTo some extent the fact people live so far from work and family is caused by the car, if it hadn't been available people would have made different choices.
- thih9 7y agoThen maybe we should’t say: > „The only problems cars solve are problems cars cause.” Looks like it’s closer to: „Cars solve lots of problems, e.g. they give us more options for choosing a place to work or a place to live; at the same time they cause problems too.”
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThat doesn't make the point that @BrianHenryIE was trying to make though does it?
- thih9 7y agoThat doesn’t look relevant to me. I only wanted to discuss that BrianHenryIE’s quote seems an inaccurate generalisation.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoExcept it wasn't, rather it was pithy and to the point.
