La soluzione al #traffico era già nota nel 1927
In un manifesto dell’azienda di trasporto di Wichita Falls, si chiede di dare priorità al trasporto di massa, perché molto più efficiente: in un #tram possono sedersi comodamente le persone portate da ben 28 #auto (con 2 persone per auto, stima ottimistica).

COUCHES THO
Capitalism thrives on violently enforced inefficiency.
You might even be able to sell a “solution” to the inefficiency you created out of profitability.
So true. That’s a huge fuckin street car
Most on the main road in my area is one person. How many times have I missed the bus and had to wait 20 mins for the next one, because I can’t cross the road to the stop, because 4 people need to get by in their cars.
yea, but how can i show off my gigantic clownshoes pavement princess with truck nutz if i’m sitting in a street car?
I do my best to be the change I want to see in the world and always de emphasize the significance of a vehicle as a status symbol.
I do it in small ways like not noticing what other people drive. Not taking a specific interest if someone wants to talk expensive cars. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but I don’t want to give people the satisfaction over something that’s harmful to humans and harmful to the environment. Going out of my way to complement others about driving a vehicle that clearly meets their needs.
In general, I think we’d do well not to celebrate excess. We should recognize enough when we see it and strive for enough.
lol i’ve been doing this since high school. one time i rode with a buddy in his brand new mustang and i just kept yammering on about whatever we talked about back in the day, giving zero reaction or comment to his peeling out, stunt car driving etc. you could feel the inflated sense of superiority evaporate from the vicinity
Maybe you could start with wearing the truck nutz yourself?
