Criticizing cars and our transit system really does bring out the most reactionary ignorant side of people. Like "I know technically the car is completely at fault every time and the dangerous behaviors that caused this incident happen all the time because the system is very clearly about profit to the detriment of public safety, but that's just how things are".
Yeah, so millennials are supposed to give up having a house, making anything above minimum wage, and the good life for the sake of shareholder value....
but boomers should not give up their treat-mobile for the sake of clean air, clean water, and livable communities?
Cars turn people into something between solipsists and egomaniacs. No matter their usual ideological position about laws that aren't really enforced, with cars it reliably lands on road anarchy for me, stringent enforcement for everybody else, including some rules I just made up.
