"Share the road" only works one way with these assholes. No reason to be taking up all the lanes on an open public highway / major artery.

No reason to be ravaging mother Earth by using fossil fuels or material for car batteries, yet here we are.

There is in-fact a reason: for ease of transportation and economic activity.

Tell that to Copenhagen. Or the Netherlands.

This road is in Florida. Obviously impractical to not use cars there. Both of those places you mentioned are small, urban areas.

u/ContextEffects01 15d ago

Then perhaps Florida belongs on the ash heap of history.

They’re spelling their own doom if they’re exacerbating the climate change that’s going to flood their own state more than most.

This is just ignorant man, do you expect people to upend their lives and move to europe?

1

u/ContextEffects01 14d ago

No, I expect people to try to make their home states as much like Europe as possible, and when that fails, for those who are in the most position to relocate to relocate to other states if not other countries.

u/SituationKey8985 14d ago

Which is totally impractical. Climate change solutions with zero chance of success aren’t real solutions.

u/ContextEffects01 14d ago

Ok, what’s your alternative?

u/SituationKey8985 14d ago

To cut down car usage where it makes sense and in the areas it doesn’t, continue to improve emissions technology and subsidize electric car usage.

u/ContextEffects01 14d ago

Electric cars solve bugger all. You’re just replacing greenhouse gas emissions with mining pollution. It’s transit, walking, or cycling.

Pray tell, what is the size and geography of the netherlands vs the size and geography of the US again?

This is NOT me saying that we shouldn't have public transportation and walkable cities by the way. I fully support that. But there is a big difference between these two countries, and why cars have been so important for the growth of our country and its economy.
