6·8 months agoIt’s one less Tesla that’s bought new and it devalues the car.

2·8 months agoA big part of the plan was that in addition to reducing car usage, the revenues collected by congestion pricing would be used to make huge investments in improving public transit, thereby reducing car dependencey even further. Win-win!
Cars should not need registration, licensing, or insurance.
Waaaaait a minute, what?
Sure, I can ride a bike, but I could never ride a bike 300 miles for a weekend trip to any arbitrary destination
This is a strawman argument. 300 mile trips are better suited for trains.
Better for people with physical handicaps
The majority of physical disabilities prevent people from driving, resulting in a loss of mobility and freedom when they do not have viable alternatives. Many people who do not bike for transport and do not talk to people who bike for transport see a handicap parking spot and assume that everybody with a handicap drives.
People cycling and using public transit free up road space for the minority of people with handicaps who drive. I know two utilitarian cyclists with disabilities who cannot drive but use a bicycle as their primary means of transportation.
Can be more easily/comfortably used in extreme weather
Wear a jacket. Many of us go for walks in extreme weather. There are very cold and hot countries all over the world that have high rates of bicycle usage for transport. The problem usually lies in cities designing and maintaining their roads in a hostile way to all forms of transportation other than bicycles in the winter. Look at Montreal and Oulu for counter-examples. Even the Netherlands gets constant rain.
This is a great video on the topic.

2·8 months agoEverybody, do yourself a favour and actually read this article.
9·8 months agoLibreWolf relies on Mozilla’s Gecko engine, so LibreWolf mostly doesn’t exist without Firefox/Mozilla. I wish there was a way to just donate to the Gecko engine maintenance to keep a Chrome alternative running without supporting all the other Firefox/Mozilla stuff.

171·9 months agoDOGE defunding public services and letting laissez-faire capitalism consume everything?
It’s just neoliberalism with
extrafewer steps!
Going all in on oil and AI is short-sighted to put it mildly.
Nailed it.
