In Belgian French it's 70, and in French² it's 1000
Oh I am very aware and compassionate towards the dire state of mobility in the US. It's just that you were dismissive of biking as if it had inherent insurmontable problems, whereas alternatives to cars are viable but have been suppressed politically.
Second point, it is not realistic to bike 3h one way to go to a far away park. But the question would be: does it make sense to go that far for a single day getaway? Wouldn't it make more sense to have nice spaces in or around cities that people could go for an afternoon, but not expect to have true natural reserves commodified? People should have the right to accessible natural spaces, but the priority of reserves should be the nature, not the people. A massive presence of humans does damage.
Two common strawmen in favor of car dependency.
There are cheap electric bikes out there (at least much cheaper than a car). No need to be an athlete.
Disabled people are among those who suffer the most under car dependency. There should exist public transportation to go to parks for everyone, including disabled people.
I appreciate that they provide explanations and try to do a little bit of education/debunking. Whether the actual debt they want to recover is justified, ethical, or just capitalisy greed is another subject of course.
Signing a petition will do nothing, won't it? Is the IA.BAK project still working after its shutdown?
You need three ingredients to understand them.
- "Being different is shameful."
- "My family is the reflect of myself."
- "My child might join them if we allow them to exist."
Bam. They're protecting themselves by oppressing queer people.
Quantum electrodynamics in a nutshell
Yep, we agree. In Western Europe I was thinking of Portugal and Eastern Europe the Baltics etc.
E: and the current ones are Russia and Belarus
The last dictatorship in Western Europe was 50 years ago. Eastern Europe was between 35 years ago and today.
Good point.
Well, if they tell the truth then it's fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).
Well, you do need a flat surface below the tram. A lawn will dampen more sound and re-emit less heat than concrete or asphalt.
