    Yeah, but no train takes me from my front door to my job/the movies/my vacation place. And my car works even if the state decides to shut down the trains/buses.

      You seem to have a serious case of car brain, which is odd because you are commenting in the fuckcars community

        This meme is on the startpage, so many people outside of the typical c/fuckcars community will comment.

          eh, it’s a quite shitty extremist meme.

          Just like EVs and Autonomous cars aren’t a magic bullet to solving traffic, the trains aren’t either, they are an important part of a well-rounded public transport network and an effective part of distribution networks, they are not magic bullet (train)

      What if the state decides to shut down oil supply? Or the electric grid? That logic applies to cars as much as trains. Those all rely on government oversite, even when privately owned.

      We decry the government, claiming it’s inept. We listen to and vote in people who say the government is inept. Then when those we just voted in do a horrible job we then point at the mess and say, “see the government doesn’t work”. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

        I can make my own electricity at home to charge an electric car. Can’t do that with a combustion engine unless you run ethanol.

        It’s not like there are privately owns oil wells or power generators, after all…

        Plus, the government is inept even when people vote for state-loving politicians
