If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.

@humantransit mf really made a worse subway and people suck his dick because he posts about memes and crypto scams he profits from @humantransit I don't understand. It looks like a Uber in a tunnel that's sold like a ride and a giant ad for Teslas.. that doesn't even make them look special. |
@humantransit
Yes, the government should reimburse us 100% of the cost of the car we aren't buying
@humantransit If you're not driving an ICE vehicle, there's no gain in giving you money.
Also worth saying that even people who don't personally own a vehicle benefit from the use of ICE or jet-fueled vehicles in the form of public transport, cartage of goods, services like ambulance, fire brigade and more.
@humantransit ah, but filthy car non-owners aren't contributing to the GDP by not buying a car and really in what sense are they even human if so?
