[+] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -78 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Oh look, it's a car worthless for a family! I find smart cars rather worthless and lack practically for like 6 mpg which is going to save 300miles per year. Look of these work for you great, but they really are worthless vehicles for most adults with family. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 57 points 2 years ago (2 children) there are a lot of adults without family.

We could read them as indictments of all the choices we've made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles. Choices like: under investment in public transit and rail Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs low density housing policies And, if we're being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago You have a far more positive outlook than me.
