Hey, why is making everyone use public transit instead of wastefully having everyone have their own private vehicle treated as “lowering living standards,” huh?
Especially in a world where there’s so many fucking cars that you can get stuck in traffic for hours and hours. We’ve rounded the bend where actually having serious public transit, that was moving on every public street every ten minutes, you’d suddenly have a lot more freedom of movement than you currently do with hours and hours of traffic. Public transit literally could be faster than a car in many big cities but people are too hung up on having to be around other people.
But nooooo, somehow freeing people from the logistically stupid nightmare of every human having a car and focusing on transit, we have to call that a “reduction in living standards.” Get the fuck out of here.
Money talks and Israel has the money, Palestine doesn’t. Same as it ever was.
