So I often come here, even though I oppose the idea of saying “fuck cars”. And yes, I do know it’s not completely literal. However, I understand the logic.
With that being said, many people are using cars to be delivery contractors. It’s not a necessary utility, but it is useful and is used by the vast majority of (I’ll assume) 1st world countries. If vehicle use is reduced, what do you think would be a good strategy to keep this industry going? Yes, bicycles can still be used, but it would take more time, which would raise prices (capitalism). And another obvious solution would be to just do away with it and just go to restaurants. Do you have any opinions beyond those two that solutions I’ve already presented?
I think about this a lot. I’ve been trying to cut down on using my car and rely more on my electric scooter and recently purchased e-bike, both of which I got from Amazon. Man, I’m addicted to Amazon. I get deliveries almost every day. lol
So, while I’m okay with delivery trucks for things like that, I really wish cities, including mine, did more to promote bikes and scooters for everyday use.
Unfortunately, my city here in the US doesn’t even have a train system, and the bus system is pretty terrible, making it harder to avoid cars altogether.
