So breathtaking! Could you see any glimpses of color with your eyes?

If definitely will be at first and not just that but they will be tools of capital to continue to drive collapse if we don't fit to take it back.

Also y'all please watch AMC's Pantheon it's the absolute perfect singularity tv that also lead me to here and have been thinking about singularity ever since I watched it

I agree with your points absolutely but at the end of the day 50 years of car culture eroded the walkable cities and made it so that speawl makes transit not economically as viable. Not enough people per train track mile etc. We can fix this and we absolutely 100% should. Trains don't need batteries lithium etc like cars, and busses could easily use hydrogen fuel cell, my town is switching. But we need to defeat nimbyism and change the infrastructure. We absolutely 100 should and I love living in my small micro urban midwest town of 200K where (in the summer,) it's a 10 min walk to an international grocery store or a bank or the downtown bars pharmacy several friends apartments etc.

But please remember in the mid west that intra city transit is so few and far between. And that's how a lot of the country is. We totally could and should rebuild the massive amount of train lines that used to connect these small cities but it will be an uphill challenge requiring buying huge plots of land. I don't think it will happen under capitalism.

So that leaves us with electric cars. Personally I used to be a massive simp for them even convincing others to get them. But they are becoming disposable like the iphone and not like the 25 year old Hondas still kicking. Hybrids are a good alternative tho. All of these are harm reduction we can and should change to public transit. But we will not be able to do so before climate keyhole disasters so we need to simultaneously build electric cars, nuclear fission gen 5 plants and then still work on transit.

Also you need to consider so much of the west cost is territory that is rigged roads. Buling 5trsins would be insanely expensive, when I wat to be able to get away from society sometimes. Same in the city, not have had great experiences with people on public transit. Drivers suck but at least I don't have to be in and enclosed space with them, I can drive and get away. I can pull over somewhere and now without the threat of Traffic the car is my safe space. Plus the weather. No way in hell I'm waiting 10, min for a bus in this weather. Or willing to walk more than a few blocks

Anyways one final point, that Car go Vroom and I like it 😎
