How do you envision goods being delivered to people then?
- VLM 13y agoThey would subsist merely on great clouds of smug, rainbow baths, meditation, and unicorn droppings. The rest of us, of course, will drive a car.
- phaer 13y agoWow, wheres the argument? I guess you are a very rational, thoughtful person compared to naive hippies like me, so why don't you use your skills?
- VLM 13y agoOK I admit I didn't answer anything. They'd probably bum rides off their friends with cars, just like I did as a kid. Which doesn't scale and is very inconvenient and economically devastating. There are some interesting real estate issues such that you'd essentially be implementing feudalism where a peasant comes with the land and cannot leave it for other employment. Or the parasitic FIRE sector would have to back off a bit so housing is more of a commodity. Either way isn't happening without much unhappiness.

- phaer 13y agoAs I wrote, I am open to keep delivery cars. Freight bicycles are also a good possibility for a lot's of stuff, but that's not my main point. My main point would be that cars do suck as a mean of transporting people as soon as you do calculate with external costs to the environment, health and quality of live for people living in the inner city.
