Sorry Ars Technicha, the time for Americans to embrace small cars was 50 years ago.
It’s too late for that. The planet is literally on fire.
It’s now time for Americans to embrace bicycles.
This article is really a whole mood: "A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility"

Can we have other articles on alternate electric transportation #ebikes #ebuses #trams #trains rather then the non solution #ecars are
Also articles countering the myth of ecars as any kind of solution and the danger and stupidity of transitioning to ecars ? Repeating car industry propaganda myths doesn't make it a good idea.

"Only by curbing all motorized transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possibly can we tackle the climate and air pollution crises"

Per brother reporting from #Roslindale, the entire building hit by a car has now been demolished. One entire city block taken out by a driver with no explanation provided.

"Remember kids: Don't cross the street unless you, a child with an undeveloped brain and relatively little knowledge for how things work and their consequences, are sure it's safe!"
How about don't drive on the fucking street unless you, an adult with hopefully a mature brain and the ability to properly analyze situations using logic, statistics, and science, are sure it's safe for children?

Reminder that if everyone who normally rides the oldest, most inefficient diesel train all decided to switch to driving the newest and most efficient Teslas, their environmental footprint would go up, not down.

That moment when you search up passenger #trains in your Canadian city and you realise that there were more lines, higher service frequencies, AND shorter travel times in the 1940s compared to now.
Feels bad man. Thanks #carculture!
