@artsyhonker yep. and the polluted air and the noise - how many city dwellers get sick from that? It has to be thousands of people who suffer, I don't get why we are doing this, why we are sacrificing so much for a not even very convenient way to move around.

in the end it's also so much about status and toxic masculinity, or a toxic show off of privilege. at least in germany, where cars are not simply things. many people here treat their cars as sacred objects, ranking higher than living beings.
