Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) sitting at a lemonade stand, smiling, with a sign that reads, “Trains and micromobility are inevitably the future of urban transportation, whether society wants it or not. CHANGE MY MIND.”

    That didn’t stop people before cars. Back then people built small railways if we are talking about construction.

    We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it weren’t for vehicles like mine keeping up the internet infrastructure up.

    There’s also no fucking way you going to put train tracks everywhere to keep up infrastructure. That sounds really fucking stupid

    They need specialized equipment. They need heavy equipment.

    This statement makes me feel like I’m responding to a 14 yr old with no life experience. Not even going to bother answering it.

    A car is a car. Another motor doesn’t turn car into magic.

    Electric vehicles have no emissions so there’s no reason people can’t use them specifically for work.

    PS: You can respond but I’m not going to bother with you. There’s no point in having a discussion with someone with illrational and militant about their ideals

      There’s also no fucking way you going to put ashphalt everywhere to keep up infrastructure.

      That sounds really fucking stupid

      Yep. Didn’t stop from building roads.

      Electric vehicles have no emissions so there’s no reason people can’t use them specifically for work.

      You are correct, vehicles. Car is not the only type of vehicle, it’s one of many. And what I was saying emissions is not the only problem of car.

      You can respond but I’m not going to bother with you

      Ok.

      There’s no point in having a discussion with someone with illrational and militant about their ideals

      Indeed. See, there are topics we agree upon.
