God this would help so much. Some govt asshat decided my schedule needs to change now I can't take the bus too and from work. The bus is 5 minutes away. Now I have to drive 30 minutes away to catch a passenger train to work.
Push for public transportation for work. Let's ban cars completely.
Yes! Yes everywhere!
Driving less is good. Not probably going to do much for prices tho.
they said that about water prices here once. lower consumption will result is better pricing for everyone.
months later, they didn't have enough income from the people using the water and jacked rates permanently...
Also consider stop bombing children in states that can shut access to oil.
Why would any self respecting sociopath advocate for less earnings/pleasure to the people who gave him power?
Sounds like the usual level of "brilliance" one would expect from the should-be-inmates running the place.
Hmm I wonder if the size of the vehicles also has something to do with it...
are you saying I got a small Truck?
the trick to lowering emissions is to have less billionaires.
And of course, most cities have shitty public transportation, in an effort to get us to drive more.
