RE: lets loose cars
i just think that we know how much they cost and how unsustainable they are and still we can't consider the back of them because they are ingrained in transport policy and social standing and profit circles and power plays and all the while the earth is being emptied and dying and we cant go back
I read a piece about the summer heat and how they had to impose speed limits to reduce pollution
I fell asleep in the back of a car and when I woke up we were going nowhere in the fast lane of the M1, there were 6 lanes full of card as far as the eye could see, all those billions in roads and cars all going nowhere
I saw a photo of a city once and figured 20+% of the surface was for cars, more if you tink of garages and dealership and factories
The MkI Golf GTI was 'over engineered' WFT is that
Ad then you have to pay for the privilage of NOT moving a machine built to move
Autos are a tax, they are designed to break down and cost you money, they build it into the equation, like HP printer cartridges
We are stupid and stupid and our children will not thank us for our shortsighted selfishness
I also read a guy who was panicking that the chinese gov was trying to get everyone to eat 2 eggs a week and there wasnt enough resource in the world to do that, well not without others loosing resource
