Is there a way to profit from the millenial/zoomer rejection of cars?
Young people despise cars and love to walk, bike and use public transport, is it a good idea to bet against companies like Ford in the long run?

The bugbrain subset of society doesn't understand that people like cars. That they seek out cars. That they like the freedom, the comfort and roominess, the looks, and the feeling, and that no, there isn't a major global conspiracy to force people to use cars over dirty poop covered subways and busses, they just like cars.

We are not all mentally ill collectivists.

Maybe Ford needs to fucking reduce their prices to sane levels so their shitboxes are appropriately priced. Maybe make car dealership bullshit illegal so the whole car buying process isn't a miserable experience with rip-offs at every turn.

Why can't I buy a new reasonably priced car with the ease of picking up an appliance?

What's so free about having a big chunk of metal outside I have to take care of and worry about. It's just one more annoying worry in my life, I don't need it. If I lived in the countryside and had a big garage then yeah, it would contribute to my freedom. In the middle of the city it's just yet another thing that annoys you.

car centric infrastructure is literally the most retarded thing ever. Complete 180 but still the same concept of Japanese people packing themselves like sardines in trains. Except in America you have obese middle aged people stressing the fuck out in stop & go traffic on the highway at 7:00 AM every

The “car problem” is so fucking easy to fix, just don’t let cars around city centers and the entire fucking issue disappears. Car bros are right in that there’s no other viable way to travel long distance between states except a 400 hour train ride or planes, but urbanist bike people are right that there’s better alternatives in a very dense area. And I haven’t met a single car guy that likes cars because they get to drive them in commute traffic, they just like going overlanding or racing

This would be an argument if leftbugs had principles but they don't
The diversity, equity and inclusion bullshit is mostly just the moral justification for seizing power for their corner of the big tent (women, blacks, jews). They'll happily discard any pretense of that morality if it means advancing their power (case in point, there was that video of some leftist fat fuck teacher yelling at some Muslim student to get out of Canada because they were absent for a pride parade event)

Not really. It’s a cope for having unlivable cities, which we all know are unlivable because of crime and drugs and not because of cars. They can’t admit the real problem though so the cars get scapegoated. I mean, don’t get me wrong. Car-centric planning is terrible, but it’s not the main thing. It is a cope to focus on it so much.

We already have the infrastructure for cars. Cars are staying. Maybe we will one day have more use of self driving buses that transport you between cities and then you transfer to a smaller self driving vehicle once you reach the city. But we’re not going to build new railways between all our cities instead of using the highways we already have
