Fuck PU, I'm not going to give them the fucking views

She starts of saying cars represent freedom and spontaneity and are better than the socialist public transports with their fixed routes and schedules, as American cars are most used for taking Americans to and from work on fixed schedules called rush hour.
Also the bit about cars keeping Americans together... most don't even know their next door neighbors.

My favorite part was their nightmare scenario where a parking lot gets replaced by a public greenspace.

On the long list of PragerU's awfulness: that hack orange & blue color scheme.

But those cars COULD be used to drive women to abortion clinics!

Boy I don't have enough stars for this evil.

Developers spent decades dismantling pedestrian infrastructure. The most pragmatic of them will blatantly tell you that owners of McMansions don't have 'neighbors'. There is no community anymore so you have your fortified castle with busy, adjacent roads becoming concrete and asphalt moats. Moats that keep 'those people' away. And if somebody doesn't have the elevated status to own a vehicle certainly sure as shit ain't welcome. In fact NIMBY efforts to thwart efforts to build sidewalks in suburban areas are a very real thing.

So public transportation being sabotaged and demonized is a no brainer. It allows the poorest of the poor to escape their containment zones. Unacceptable.

I live on the East side of Cincinnati. Bus routes were altered years ago so what would take 15 minutes became an hour bus ride to reach the downtown area. A not so subtle 'fuck you' to keep people on their side of the tracks. Same Jim Crow, different packaging.

So anyways vehicle ownership and civic planning has become a way to isolate undesirables to specific areas. Which you risk being struck by traffic if you try and leave on foot. Because you're not supposed to leave.

Growing up in the Atlanta area I was well aware of the fear mongering used to keep MARTA out. Cobb County is the worst offender and now they have the Braves and no public transportation. They essentially said F U to the people who actually live in Atlanta and want to see the games. I'm a Mets fan now.


Cena_mark - 2021-09-06

I recall reading an article where people went to a city hall meeting to oppose MARTA expanding into their neighborhoods. One woman expressed her fear that people would be coming in and out of their town stealing TVs. Like who's going to take a stolen TV home on a bus?

A Mets fan? How do you cope?


Cena_mark - 2021-09-06

Same as being a Braves fan. You just get used to mediocrity.

The whole turd of a process floated along just fine when America had a large middle class, but now that the oligarchs are increasingly pushing as many people possible over to the other side of the tracks, those once satiated nimbys are getting “economic anxiety”.

If it were about "freedom," Id suggest they no longer submit themselves to traffic laws and just walk.


Cena_mark - 2021-09-07

Traffic laws, registration, licences, insurance. Cars don't make us free. They're putting us in debt.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2021-09-07

If there was such a thing as "Christmas Cars", the wouldn't have a chance.

This is a great example of what H Bomb said once: Check out Prager U's topics, and it'll be easy to figure out who their donors are.

I think Mickey Rooney’s foundation funds them to continue his legacy of ranting about how scary change is.

At this point, 1 in 5 youtube ads I get are PragerU.

I try to rest easy knowing everybody immediately skips 5 minute long ads.
