Whether society wants it or not? Quite, um, authoritarian if I do say so, sir.
What on God's burning Earth is authoritarian about a government implementing public transport? Genuinely, how the fuck?
The key thought there is "whether society likes it or not", not that the government implements a public transport system.
I apologise, I read your comment wrong.
No worries. Un-downvoted.
Is having a finite amount of lithium to make electric cars, asphalt to make roads, etc authoritarian?
We should revolt against the constraints of our physical world.
That's basically what the market does.
How? Last time I checked, it was pretty abysmal at rationing...
