As a cyclist I've noticed a, harshness, recently. In Ontario our premier did a distraction campaign where he villanised bike lanes. Turns out he was talking about a couple of specific ones but all of the sudden, after biking in town for years. People nearly hit me. There is no Lee way any more. I've been swiped by mirrors and pickup trucks try to roll coal on me (pretty sure you little dicks need a diesel and your just fucking up your engines for nothing) because I like a bike ride on a sunny day. Or want to stay in shape. Or need to get to work. It really does feel like "get a haircut and drive an f150!!!" around here and that wasn't always the case.

Ignorance combined with arrogance is a terrible cocktail

Who cars what science says, I love my penis-size-compensating huge truck, so I want more and faster lanes!

Well, mr dumbfuck, why don't you go to North Korea, they have 5 lane highways and only 3 cars a day driving them. Oh wait, true communists have no traffic jams? What?

Cars create congestion, so they build more roads, so things are further away, so the can sell more cars (and gas), so they can get more tax revenue, but more cars on the road creates more congestion, so they build more roads ....

It's one of those "guns don't kill people", but with cars. These people deserve to be run over by a licensed rifle

Cars don’t create congestion just like guns don’t kill people. Well, that line of thinking would probably go over his head too.

Oh look, another bootlicker (the Isiah guy not the responder). Just move along folks.

"Road rage doesn't exist!" - Road raging driver

This is the same logic that says the only answer to gun violence is more guns

A MAGA-before-there-was-MAGA family member of mine actually used to say "If we didn't have these big slow buses on the streets, and commuter trains blocking the rail crossings, we wouldn't have a traffic problem."

The Soviet Union is long gone. Communist should no longer be a derisive and should sound like a 20th century cliché in 2025.

I wonder (can't confirm) if the evergreen state of communist or socialist as derision is due to the far right propaganda industrial complex still pushing (hard) that anything that isn't capitalism is a moral wrong.

Shit, look at LA.

Communism is when you don't like cars. Apparently.

Well he's right. Cars don't create congestion, in the same way that raindrops don't create floods. Cars ARE congestion.
