    yeah right americans will totally overcome car-based infrastructure brainwashing and learn to hate the thing that they base their identity on totally

    just like the confederate flag, totally died out when racism became uncool. and I think you’re especially accurate that a widescale global disaster will definitely change people’s thinking, that always happens and never redouble their biases with insane conspiracy theories driven by billionaire backed media campaigns

      You’re disputing something I didn’t actually state.

      I very explicitly went for SUVs because I actually believe the same as you when it comes to cars in general: 20 years is far too little time for people to completelly turn away from the, especially in car-loving countries with horrible public infrastructure for anything else, like the US.

      Sacrificing a minority segment of the car market to appease the masses is not all that hard in 2 decades, whilst completelly changing the transportation infrastructure is damn near impossible.

        Fair point! I still disagree insofar as I doubt it will happen in 20 years, but that seems less absurd to believe when you put it that way
