This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

    Cars (like any technology under capitalism) are meant to keep people dependent, desperate, and exploitable.

        Definitely yes for tractors, you should see John Deere’s business practices and walled garden of maintenance and repairability! Peak capitalism right there.
