    All that being said, better car is still better than a worse car. I live near a big road, and it kinda sucks. Back then when all cars were emitting poison from a tailpipe instead of only some doing it, it didn’t just suck, it was a fucking nightmarish hell, dirty, loud, smelly, poisonous dark hell, and some people from my family died prematurely because of that.
    I don’t think the community in my city can persuade carbrains to quit caring any time soon. They can convince them to start with being slightly less damaging, for starters.

      Yes, a better car is a better car. That’s perfectly reasonable harm reduction logic.

      I just would rather people not forget that that’s all it is, and know that there are much better communal solutions. Even if they seem utopian, they’re actually very sensible and pragmatic.

      Materially speaking, we could start building a better world tomorrow morning. We don’t have to wait for tech to save us.
