This is a very US centric view of the world - whose gotten itself into a corner with urban planning centered around cars. People don't need cars, they need mobility and the ability to get around their surroundings efficiently. If we're making up solutions to the world, by all means raise salaries if you can, but I wouldn't center our goals around car ownership. Walk around, ride a bycicle, use public transportation.
- amiga_500 7y agoYes they might not need a car if there is public transport. That wasn't my point. My point was ordinary people shouldn't be looking to hedge the principal of something costing $15k with long/short positions in the stock market. This is the financialisation of yet another area of western life and it's not smart.
