The Phoebus cartel only worked because it was a cartel… and it only worked until it didn’t. Again, why would you think no one is putting money into this rather than it’s simply a hard or unsolvable problem? What material would you suggest to be hard wearing yet pliable enough for good grip and comfort?
- eurasiantiger 5y agoImagine a world that wasn’t built on the profit margins of petroleum refinement. No tires, no plastics, no bitumen; defaulting to some other mode of transport, not a state-subsidised automobile cult.
- inglor_cz 5y agoAnother mode of transport will still be state-subsidised. That is what states do since Antiquity. Already the Romans invested huge money into ports and their famous road network. Criticizing cars is fine, but "state-subsidized" is just superfluous there. This is not somehow unique to cars.
