It's looking more and more like austerity isn't good.

For me it's that first worlders (and to a lesser extent the top 1% in the global south) should reduce excess consumption. Oversized trucks and homes, high meat and dairy consumption, buying new phones every year for the sake of it etc...
The Argentina situation fucks over everyone except the top percentiles who are allowed to consume as they please.
while those are wasteful things, we shouldn't be individualist about it. emissions regulations, licensing and taxes for large vehicles, ending cow subsidies, and central planning to eliminate over-production are real solutions while magically changing individual liberal habits are not.
Yea of course, car centric design has to go. i agree its not an individual issue.
