So the whole plot point about "Should I start worrying?" was that a reference to gun violence?

If you're wondering about the "should I start worrying," it's in reference to events in the US. The Camp fire. Now people are wondering if maybe they should worry

youre making far too many assumptions. you make it seem like finding work, moving, etc. are all easy things to do when that isnt remotely the case. just because you have a cushy life where everything gets handed to you on a platter doesnt mean others do. cars are a necessity. period.
the argument you should be making is for cleaner modes of transportation, including electric or solar cars --- Voted best user on CE 2017 hahahahah lmfao ... Copied to Clipboard!

You've made a huge pile of assumptions about my life I'm not saying it's easy, the issue--and what the episode hammered home--is that people will not modify their lives or lifestyles even when the change is desperately needed cars and ice cream were stand-in objects for the two worst GHG offenders, fossil fuels and animal agriculture https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/veganism-environmental-impact-planet-reduced-plant-based-diet-humans-study-a8378631.html https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/04/animal-agriculture-choking-earth-making-sick-climate-food-environmental-impact-james-cameron-suzy-amis-cameron https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/climate/cows-global-warming.html https://www.skepticalscience.com/how-much-meat-contribute-to-gw.html ice cream is straight up unnecessary, and animal agriculture is worse than transportation for the environment I support cleaner transportation and I also support plant-based lives. I put that into action by not consuming animal products, limiting my driving, and I am in the process of moving to closer to work.

People can live without them Serious impediment =/= impossible it's inconvenient and I cannot deny it Most people in the US live in urban centres with public transit and have access to transit lines (not a huge majority, but most). American car manufacturers really pushed the everyone needs a vehicle thing, and American life got structured that way. It doesn't have to be like that. It can't stay like that, it's not sustainable.

Throughout large chunks of the country, going without a vehicle during winter is almost a death sentence. Population-wise, it doesn't apply to most Americans as most Americans live within accessible distance to public transit Most of the country is nothing It's the same in Canada... but most of Canada's population has access to transit. Zeus posted... Granted, even in cities you'd have some pretty major logistical issues if you didn't rely on automobiles for the transit of goods whether it's b2b or customers trying to bring their stuff home. I managed for nearly an entire decade in several cities, no vehicle. it sucked sometimes but it worked. the sole standard I set is that people can live without cars. no more or less. how inconvenient life gets without the vehicle is irrelevant. people can live without cars, and most Americans can. Imagine how much more quickly public transit would improve if everyone had to deal with that hassle and make it a priority --- Never write off the Doctor! ... Copied to Clipboard!
