I’m just tired of seeing the extremes, including the “people who drive cars are evil” stances. When in reality we’re all getting fucked by uneducated assholes, rich car lobbyists and corrupted gov’ts who push against good public transportation—among many other things for public good.
Re: emergency. They didn’t drive themselves, but one parent drove the other one. My grandma once had to take a taxi because the ambulance wouldn’t come. Yeah, things are fucked in my home country. Many of the reasons I emigrated and why I don’t plan on going back.
I do agree that the people that need cars now just have no other choice, but we must keep that into perspective. What I am trying to say it that the “no cars” viewpoint looks extremist only from our current angel.
Compare it to gun culture in the US. If you propose removing all guns people there will go crazy, but at the same time the people having guns where I live(Eastern Europe) are seen as a but strange and maybe a bit dangerous.
About the emergency I hate it is that way, I hope it gets better because that works only until both your parents can drive and that will not always be the case as you can see in my example.
