We're fighting the war on car dependence.

Cars are fine but car dependance isn't, our cities shouldn't be built in a way that requires a car for everyday like.

Requiring that your citizens own a $10000 - $35000+ depreciating asset just to live life is a tragedy that lessens economic mobility and punishes your most vulnerable.

I live in Taipei. It is one of the most dense cities in the world.

We have an amazing subway system, but I still own a car. I also own a bicycle and a stand-up electric scooter.

I take whatever transportation is the most convenient. Sometimes it's the bus. Sometimes, it's the subway. Sometimes it's by car. My point is it's a city infrastructure, not the mode of transportation. If you vote for a government that cares about infrastructure, you will live in the city you want.

I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I'd be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine how smooth your travels would be, if the 70% that could work from home or use public transport would do so.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

[–] EchoSnail@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

You worked remotely with dying humans?

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 27 points 16 hours ago

I get brainwashed outside the pod too, so there

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

...brainwashed by electromagnetic radiation? Do you really believe that statement?

[–] lazyViking@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think you might have missed what community this is..

I almost did too, as this reads like the most sane /fuckcars post

[–] Soulg@ani.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah I was getting ready to post some similar comments because it's just too close to the weird shit they post

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

I think they were talking about talk radio

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

It's another way to say "radio waves", so when people actually listened to the radio it was a true statement.

Now it's podcasts.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Podcasts are just on demand talk radio.

[–] dzsimbo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Which are still radiated at you through the ether ;)

I assumed this is where I was

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (3 children)

Wrong.

Edit!

Also, notice this:

And this dude (lower left, immediately 9 o'clock of the "Y"):

See ya.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

they want you to sit on a metal box

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

15mph max is a bit disappointing, I'd like to see 20-25 to at least compete with my legs, but I'm down for something like this.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Honestly, at first glance I kind of laughed at this thing but the more I think about it, the more I want it. I have an e-scooter that I don't use often(I end up using rentals more often than not) just because I have to store it in my basement but this would fit by my door no problem

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Not entirely - assuming you work in a building, aren't the "return to office" mandates the same? The cubicle is just your particular pod out of a massive collection of them inside a larger metal shell.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Can't speak for others, but I don't participate in the stereotypical mad rush from the suburbs to the city and vise-versa every day. My commute is about 7 minutes, provided I don't feel like deliberately taking a detour to meander through the countryside on my motorcycle after work.

Due to the nature of my work I do have to be in the office, though, to interact with... ugh... clients.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 15 hours ago

No cubicles, just "open concept." Ha, checkmate! /s

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like the blue ridge Mountains. Super pretty!

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

It's (near) the top of Spruce Knob in West Virginia, looking West over the Appalachians, into the Allegheny Plateau.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 6 points 13 hours ago

Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 7 points 15 hours ago

Jokes on you, I love my brainwash pod. I still take the train anywhere I can though, the Seattle light rail system is dope.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I don't have a car, I ride my non-electric dope ass bike everywhere, and I listen to old Dead and Phish shows I downloaded to my rooted Android phone.
We are not the same.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

It's this dissing the radio?

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Not if you don't live in the center of a very large city 🤷‍♂️.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I work from home and haven’t driven a car in months.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Until Trump decides to enforce a universal RTO edict - including removing all financial "home office" breaks from the tax code.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Focus Mk1 radio!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Nope, that's why I work remotely.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works -2 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I drive electric and listen to podcasts. We are not the same.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

That you get your brainwashing from an alternate source doesn't change the fact, and you're still paying a fuel tax even if it's of a different variety.

EDIT fix swipe keyboard error (you're).

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

You will pay the electrons subscription
You will be brain washed by higher frequency electric radiation

[–] griff@lemmings.world 1 points 15 hours ago

still, your tyre dust is eliminating pods of orcas
