Yeah cool bro just swing around slowly and back into the park tail first while a huge line of people are waiting to get past.

I am fully convinced that car dependency was a sadistic tool designed to torment poor people. For all the elitist snobbery about how public transit is "for poor people" that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm poor and I'm forced to live in a very remote small town because walkable cities are a privilege for the rich. Have you seen rent prices in places like NY or DC? San Francisco is one of the most walkable cities in the US but has offensively high land values.
Oh, and it's bad enough I have car payments on a depreciating "asset": I am required by law to buy useless ass insurance that will do nothing for me, be at the mercy of oil companies who are currently price gouging just because the president has the wrong color tie, the annual oil change and inspection and repairs that even the most reliable cars need. Oh, and if you're particularly unlucky: you could get a ticket that's becoming more and more likely thanks to the ever growing surveillance state and if you're even less fortunate than that, could get into a crash and be financially ruined.
TL;DR: To spare you all a BMF-tier rant. Car bad, train good. Even porky understands this and wants to keep train all to himself.

The only car insurance you're forced to have is liability insurance in every state I'm aware of. And that's important in a place with no healthcare. I'd say that in our current system, that's a good thing.
Obviously it's better to get rid of the orphan crushing machines themselves, but liability insurance is the literal least a car driver can do.
