“But tires”
Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.
Profit for few vs humanity’s existance… which should we choose?
A lot of it has to do with propaganda, both the oil and car industry have successfully convinced people that they need petroleum and a car
My city’s sporadic adoption of partial suddenly-ending bike lanes that top out at like 3 feet wide, and urban sprawl that puts any necessities at 4+ miles away, have convinced me I need a car. :(
I think the oil and car industries convinced city planning and zoning officials that the happiest city is one with heavy idling truck traffic jams and winding suburban labyrinths on the fringes.
My life has convinced me I need a car. I don’t necessarily need petroleum - I’m willing to shop electric but the price needs to be good too.
