Congrats on big family! How do you manage home improvement without car? I always run out of some small stuff during the weekends so its either 30minute turnaround by car or an hour and thirty by public transport and that's usually near the closing hours so its either car, or no one has running water for the day because some kitchen appliance has no valve and the connector hose is leaking.
- alamortsubite 3y agoCongrats on your enthusiasm for DIY appliance repair! I must say, however, some of these scenarios rationalizing car dependency are so highly-contrived as to seem desperate. Are you suggesting they're a reasonable justification for a $14K annual public subsidy per household (TFA)?
- junaru 3y agoHow is it highly contrived? Its generic household chores, who does them for you? > Are you suggesting they're a reasonable justification for a $14K annual public subsidy per household (TFA)? Yes, i would take those numbers with a grain of salt but yes. If you remove roads and cars neither the goods nor people you hire will get to you. At that point you are left with just leaving for somewhere else and starting the whole 'defund public infrastructure we rely on' campaign all over again - it's shortsighted at best and borderline malicious.
