I’ve said for years I would love for a law that made everyone leasing their vehicle put the % that their monthly payment is vs their monthly income on a big sticker on the vehicle.

I work in an industry with essentially bottomless overtime. We have a lot of 20-somethings making six figures for the first time in their life. Our parking lot is full of Raptors and F-250 King Ranches all with huge wheels/tires/lift kits. Even knowing what they’re making, I still ask how they afford that. Most of…

This is why Texas is dumb. Pick a side, Texas, person, or no person. 

Holy shit. Ariel is building the car that all 7 year olds inside of us has always wanted.

To play devil’s advocate, the idea of an HOV lane is to reduce congestion and pollution by getting 2 or more cars worth of people into one car. It could be argued that an unborn person doesn’t factor into the HOV policy because they have no choice in the mater and no bearing on reducing congestion or pollution.

And it begins.

I still don’t think people realize how much fossil fuels are powering the generation facilities that creates your power. We moved the pollution from the tailpipe to the generation facilities. Yes, exploration, drilling, production and refining take power to happen as well, as crude doesn’t just bubble out of the…

Cars of the People is such a gem; I wish they’d make more seasons and tell us about Dacias or Paykans, or something.

Well, I’m glad to hear this made it in there.

Even cheaper cars are still a huge luxury to buy new. Nearly everyone I’ve ever been acquainted to, their budget when buying a car is < £1000, and buying used is the default. I’m in my 30s and I think I’ve been in a new car like twice or three times in my life. I’m not poor, either.

I believe there is, maybe not consciously, but once people get a good rhythm with using public transport for their 9-5s, their interest usually switches over in favor of trains/busses.

As for using e-scooters/e-bikes for the last mile issue, in Paris the availability of those on a large scale pretty much revamped how…

You should argue 1 because it is incorrect lol

I think your point 4 could be solved within a few years, based on current infrastructure.

Make all the surface streets that are two lanes one lane, then use the second lane for buses running every 5 minutes.

On the highway, make two out of the 4 or 5 lanes bus-only and bicycle-only lanes. Put in those concrete barriers…

This.

You think for one second that jack ass thought about how it affects anyone but himself?

Its laudable - but laughable. Not because we shouldn’t shoot for the moon, but we aren’t able to meet that target right now with current battery tech. And before people say that 2035 is a long way off...it isn’t. We have basically 5 years to figure out how to make WAY more batteries and/or figure out how to do more…

No one will be rolling in those blackouts...  

Tres macabre, but i just couldn’t help myself

My bad, forgot about that!

Way to advertise that you didn’t read the article at all. Congrats!
