It's like a one minute metaphor about how our obsession with electric cars and general incompetence at operating them and our transportation system has doomed us to decades of and killing 40k people with cars every year while saddling future generations with impossible debts. Can we just get the cars out of the way?

Not try. Do.
I suggest not calling names; adult =toddler, too lazy to bike, parents driving kids to school = too much traffic near schools, traffic engineers wasting our time …
I’m sure you have useful suggestions. I’m also sure your ideas will get a warmer reception when put forward with a positive tilt. Just sayin’

Why is a narrow neighborhood street with no bike lanes (and barely a sidewalk on one side) carrying all of this car traffic to/past the schools? Car traffic will *always* expand to fill the space it is given. And because drivers behave like toddlers, most people will not choose to bike that mile or two. If your doesn't account for human nature, you are wasting our time, money, .
