Licenses actually have nothing to do with the freedom of movement.
Did you miss the whole "covid lockdown" period we just went through where governments restricted people from even leaving their homes on foot?
Cars are great. Stop crying irrationally about them.

- seoulmetro 3y agoAnd you think electricity and cities are bad too?
- 2024throwaway 3y agoLook up “whataboutism”
- seoulmetro 3y agoOh is that what you're trying to do? That explains a lot.

- transitpilled 3y agoYou don't need HFCS, you do need to get around. And in America, in 95% of places, that requires a car.
- transitpilled 3y agoImagine: you're at the end of a cul-de-sac, ten miles from anything you need like a grocery store or a doctor, and there's only one 55-70 mi/h road connecting them. Now imagine you also don't have a car. We don't even need government to restrict people's movement; car companies, 70 years of terrible land use policy, and good ol' fashioned NIMBYism did it for us.
- seoulmetro 3y agoNow imagine you never had a car and the grocery store was out of stock because they also didn't have cars (trucks) and the amount of customers was too high. It's not terrible land use policy. Cars and suburbs are amazing for our quality of life. But yes people are given too much power to control the natural development of locations.

- seoulmetro 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_voltage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_voltage Oh sorry you don't care about electricity killing people because it is actually great and people will forever be selfish enough to put themselves and others in danger? Yeah me neither. Not sure why the idea that cars killing people keeps getting posted here as if that makes cars a bad thing.
- foxyv 3y agoElectricity barely kills anyone. However, cars are the leading cause of death in children. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813456#:~:text=Motor%20vehicle%20traffic%20crashes%20are,1%20In%202021%3A&text=There%20were%2060.6%20million%20children,of%20the%20total%20U.S.%20population.&text=Of%20the%2042%2C939%20traffic%20fatalities%20in%20the%20United,1%2C184%20(3%25)%20were%20children https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/....
- seoulmetro 3y agoCars barely kill anyone too. At least I know you don't actually believe what you're saying now. But yeah, feel free to stop using anything that barely kills anyone as we advance through tech. Leave the benefits to other people.
