Being snarky towards homeless people! You’re really showing them! Stick it to those stupid boomers!

The vitriol towards baby boomers is disturbing. Blaming a single, entire, generation for all of the current problems in the US is insane. It’s like if we blamed millennials for the Trump craziness.

I mean, the fact that we don’t bring out the gallows for the leaders of this insurrection is the biggest tragedy.

I haven’t even watched half the seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm yet

You’re in for some amazing content! I wish I could watch that show for the first time again.

It’s like conservatives with [insert 99% of media they consume, excluding Fox “news”]

I highly recommend the show “What We Do in the Shadows.” It sort of covers this

Maybe if you play like a grandma, clicking once every 5 seconds

VLC: Very Large Cone

Well, considering the amount of memes with broken English that Trump supporters shit out, that’s probably not the best indication.

You’re very much right

Based on your replies to my comments, I agree with you a lot. I haven’t been saying that we shouldn’t transition away from car-focused infrastructure and living. Rather, OP’s pipe-dream of banning cars and solving the infrastructure/living issue in 5 years is ridiculous.

Yeah, OP has no perspective on logistics for that undertaking. It’s quite comical that they actually believe that it’d be something possible in 5 years.

Which is why it’s not the right solution to emitting less pollution. It would take far longer than we have until we’ve fucked the planet completely at the rate. That’s why switching to green vehicles is a far more achievable goal. Humans are selfish and they’ll burn the world if their short-term livelihood is at stake.

No, most traffic isn’t. A large portion of the population would be just as well off if they used public transport. However, there’s also a portion that the complete banning of road vehicles would be extremely detrimental to their livelihoods.

Where’s all this rail infrastructure coming from? If cars are banned it will take exponentially longer to complete. What does the population do in the meantime?

Just curious, are you a white-collar worker?

You guys are acting like urban is the same thing as metro. Things in urban areas are still far apart a lot of the time. Urban sprawl needs to be fixed (which involves relocating millions of people) before the banning of cars would even be even somewhat reasonable.

Let’s say you need a plumber to come fix a leak. How does he get his tools and supplies there? On his mule and cart?

For this example I’ll use the US average commute of 27.6 miles (44.4 km) one way. Based on what I looked up, a donkey pulling a cart is ~4.5 mp/h (7.2 km/h). That’s 12 hours of travel time there and back. Help me understand how this is reasonable.

Have you ever even been to a rural area? Based on your comments it seriously does not seem like it.

Ban cars and force the entire US population into a Kowloon-type city. Boom, easy fix! /s
