Bike lanes are proven to increase revenue for businesses in their vicinity. Car parking takes up valuable space in a city which could be used more productively.

Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

This map helps answer the question ‘what will my city’s climate feel like in 60 years?’. By selecting your city of interest this OSM-based map will show you what current location has the most similar climate to that forecast for 2080.

Hear me out, so we make a ton of hydrogen for cars, heating, etc. But it takes lots of methane to make hydrogen. So we give oil companies subsidies so they can do more fracking which is how we get the methane in the first place. This will be great for climat cha—wait a minute...

We shouldn't test code in production, so why are we testing safety critical systems around people who could be fatally injured by cars?

Our prisons are designed for revenge and punishment not just to those going to prison, but to have a terrifying affect on others.

So ironically, the use of 5 years prison time is the real terrorism, in the literal sense of trying to make people terrified of protesting and of putting someone in a cage for 5 years.

I think they're referring to right-wing libertarians specifically.

My interpretation of it was that it was satire and not proposing the creation of a fake group. In short, I perceived it as being in agreement with everything you said.

Small-scale, local farming is where it's at. Growing a bucket of potatoes on a balcony or helping out at a community garden are small but achievable steps to bring the food closer to us. In addition to sustainability, it promotes knowledge of how to produce our own food and reduces dependence on large-scale monoculture farming.

It's nice to walk a few paces and pick up an ingredient for dinner with the satisfaction that you nurtured it. But mainly, I just don't feel like going to the grocery store as much lol.

E-bikes and infrastructure would have been a cheap and effective alternative for those subsidies as well.
