Even if you have the privilege of owning a car, it does not give you "absolute freedom of movement". It gives you hours of your day siting in traffic. But even if it did, what about those of us who don't own a car? What gives you the right to inflict an "acceptable level of risk" on others?
- whateveracct 5y ago> it does not give you "absolute freedom of movement". It gives you hours of your day siting in traffic. Talk about hyperbole - Having a car in America does in fact you can get to pretty much anywhere else in the country within a couple days. That's facts. Most of that time will be crusing too - not traffic.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI presume you never leave your home? Everything you do has a nonzero risk to others. How did you determine it was acceptable?

Presumably you interact with people at least occasionally; how dare you expose them to pathogenic risk like that? > It gives you hours of your day siting in traffic No it doesn’t. I don’t sit in traffic for more than 15 minutes a day. Actually, the only time my commute is bad is when I occasionally have to take the train. > what about those of us who don't own a car You should probably live in a city or something. I don’t really have any input on your choices here. But I would appreciate if people who didn’t own a car wouldn’t take out their frustration on people who do own cars.
