We can talk about this forever, but it's a waste of time. Nobody is listening and nobody is making any real effort to combat car culture. And the right wing, always eager to lap up whatever slop corporate american serves them, has chosen this as a culture war issue. "15 minute cities... but where will I park muh truck??"
The dumb-fucks with their emotional support trucks have won. We've paved over the whole fucking country and all of the road construction and automobile businesses are laughing their way to the bank.
Every time we try to fix something, the chuds start crying about "but muh traffic" and it gets canned. They don't want to actually pay their own fucking way, through tolls or gas taxes or taxes on their asinine vehicles. They want to take our money and use it on roads.
It's dead. The middle class is dead. The country is dead. Progress is dead. Try to enjoy yourself for the next 30 years before the Great American Desert reaches Chicago.
- lotsoweiners 2y agoWell when you are hostile towards the other side telling them how what they like needs to be “fixed” then what do you expect?
- maerF0x0 2y agoPeople need to spend less time crying about it, and more time making what they want to happen, happen. I've said for a long time that Millenials and genz should give the middle finger to previous generations and refuse to buy their realestate for the going rate. Instead we need to build communities and cities in the middle of nowhere that embody our values (and economics). Or we can wait another 30 or so years for them to die and leave it to the next generation(s)
- lotsoweiners 2y ago> I've said for a long time that Millenials and genz should give the middle finger to previous generations and refuse to buy their realestate Unfortunately there aren’t generational meetings where your plan can be voted on. Also, plenty of millennials and Gen z own property and would gladly buy more once prices drop from you refusing to buy.
