I can’t believe people pay $18-50 to eat at a crappy chain.

That’s cool that your trash pickup incentivizes people to create less trash (at least in theory). We can go 6+ weeks before we fill up a 30 gallon trash bag because we recycle and compost and yet we have neighbors that will have two large trash cans every week and we all pay the same.

I’m anti-car dependence in general. It’s just that the replacing of ICE cars with electric is not a solution to anything other than continuing to make car companies money in the long term. I also don’t know where the truck comes in here, but if you’re arguing that people shouldn’t be driving them I’m in total…

The only problem is tire emissions are actually worse than a modern car’s tailpipe emissions and those only get worse with heavier EVs.

That’s frustrating. Detroit has been doing some good stuff in terms of biking infrastructure. This is a step in the wrong direction.

We need to fix regulations so people are incentivized to buy smaller cars. Or maybe disincentivized to buy bigass trucks and crossovers.

E-bikers actually get almost as much exercise as regular bikers as they ride longer and more often.

I noticed this as I drove back from Ontario to Georgia the other day and there were trucks lining highway ramps as it got well into the night. The amount of semis on our highways these days is utterly insane, and they only seem to get worse at driving as time goes on. 

Just one of the 40,000 examples per year why we need alternatives to driving cars everywhere.

If only this country wasn’t so dependent on cars kids could actually walk or bike to school...

One unnecessarily large vehicle down, too many to go.

If Texas wants people to stop dying the only solution is to actually design the roads with safety in mind and enforce appropriate speeds in cities. And give people safer forms of transportation.

I haven’t been in a ton of rideshares, but the worst was probably the Tesla Model 3 driver that thought it was necessary to gun it after every stop. This was in London so it was a lot of accelerating and decelerating. 

If only they had a door keypad like most Fords have...

As long as they don’t allow any other vehicles to be sold that emit above 160 g/km).

It’s bad enough that the U.S. is so reliant on cars to get anywhere. The fact that everything is getting bigger and much more expensive on average just makes it that much worse. But maybe it will convince some people to get around without a car and it will drive more funding into things other than widening roads to a…

Not surprising at all. That money would be so much better spent on subsidizing something like e-bikes, which are an actual form of sustainable transportation.

Not the current generation.

My mom’s ‘22 Explorer’s transmission is terrible as well. I mean, it’s not dangerous, but it’s so incredibly unrefined. It’s hard to brake to a stop smoothly because of how abrupt the downshifts are. And recently we were in the mountains and I put it in sport mode so it wouldn’t lug so much and it was doing all these…

Well, I guess that didn’t post, but just imagine a Hummer EV running over children.
