@UrbanCourtyard Grossssssssssss

The author writes this article as though it is an indictment of Trump’s tariffs. But the real indictment is car culture. When your people say they can’t get food without a car, that’s a problem. Society is broken.

“Like, the party of limited government is gonna go out and, ‘say we’re gonna have [a car tax]?’”

Maybe the party of limited government should stop being communist for cars. Maybe the party of fiscal responsibility could get drivers to cover their costs. https://t.co/86u9LaXzXi

These vehicles are out of control. Time to ban them.

This makes me wonder if the headlines in 1963 read: “bullet kills Kennedy”

[Driving Is a Sin @Driving_Is_Sin]

When will headline writers stop infantilizing drivers?

Another great reason to keep Lincoln Square car free! https://t.co/sEm38GBCwR

Perhaps these prices will start to reflect the actual cost of these products?

Let’s be more intentional about this #Degrowth

I sat in car free Lincoln square around some homemade benches last night and just gazed and the incredible ornamentation on these buildings. Could the loss of ornamentation and the rise of car culture be related?

@UrbanCourtyard Why stop there? Just pedestrianize the whole thing! Stem to stern!

@arbitrageAli @JGrantGlover Cyclists still much yield to vehicles with the right of way. So cyclists only don’t stop if no one else has priority. This doesn’t give cyclists permission to take priority. So a cyclists who comes to an intersection with waiting cars must stop and let those with ROW proceed.

@Boenau @Jalopnik It’s wild to me that this isn’t obvious to our leaders already! Plus, car payments are monies leaving the community. That $1k/mo wouldn’t just be back in their pockets, it could easily be spent locally! It could also just become fewer hours worked! And that’s the best. #DeGrowth

@cornoisseur Done.

⁦@cornoisseur⁩ do you ever read this absurd rag? Even a broken clock is right twice a day! https://t.co/n8qbFMRZ0q

@cornoisseur Glad my rep Hoan voted yes! Glad it passed! Idiotic that the free market loving GOP hate the freedom to make fiscally responsible housing.

@UrbanCourtyard @zachklein @AldMattMartin @40thforward Crazy how powerful car driving NIMBYs have become, isn’t it? We should install these on Wilson by Waters school because we know no politician will calm traffic there!

[Jeremy Glover @JGrantGlover]

Perfect illustration for why Lincoln between Leland And Lawrence should be *permanently* closed to car traffic.

Also, in order to pay our debt to ourselves we must burn down the planet.

Like, imagine that I owe my spouse $1m and to get it I have to sell our home and everything in it.

And imagine my partner and I both think this is an unfortunate but inescapable reality.

[Driving Is a Sin @Driving_Is_Sin]

Reading about the trump tariffs, this line kind of makes me chuckle. Earth is a closed system, so who could it owe its debt too? Meanwhile, another headline today said all the billionaires combined have more money than all but two countries.

This system, folks, isn’t working.

[Driving Is a Sin @Driving_Is_Sin]

Like, just think about the absurdity of this statement. Humanity collectively owes $318 Trillion dollars to itself, and therefore humanity has no money to pay for humans to take care of other humans (welfare).

So we’ll just have to let humans suffer unemployment and misery.

@RandyScottESPN Awwww, you’ve got to sit in your mobile living room a little longer. What a huge adjustment to your day this is 😆
