Yeah that is very low, but i don’t know what is normal in those elections.

And it is going to get even better: https://www.dw.com/en/france-paris-to-increase-car-free-zones-after-referendum/a-72019387

The news stories of people getting detained on arrival are becoming more frequent, so you can bet this is going to get a lot worse.

Lets revisit this in 6 months.

Well that, and fear-mongering and lying on the other side of the aisle.

I love that. We even have something similar on my street - it makes a world of difference.

Still mostly cars though.

Sure, here too. But cargobikes take up a lot more space than regular bikes.

Meanwhile a battle royale between cargobike owners about parking unfolds in backyards, at schools and shops.

But i aint never seen car spots designated for cargobikes although three families could benefit from just one car space.

What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.

Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.

Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.

How far is in miles or kilometers? It sounds very doable if infrastructure is not forcing you a long way around :)

In my dense Europen city, even regular bike is faster than cars if we are talking in the city.

In the cities, sure. Outside the cities i think e-biks help a lot. 5 kilometers is fine on regular bike, maybe even 10 - but more that that is a lot easier on e-bike.

And i saw some research and how most trips are actually really short (where i live at least).

Also people have become way too unhealthy so just getting started, with all the sweating and exhaustion and wind is a barrier. Self-imposed, but still a barrier.

In that case, you’ve re-earned my respect (some of you).

I get you’re economically shackled already, but I just don’t believe the ‘too big/diverse to strike’-argument.

It just needs to start somewhere. And it probably evetually will now your president really fucked us all over.

I wouldn’t not protest to save the economy now, since that is out the window.

I don’t know if occupy accomplished anything, but the George Floyd protests were massive.

Americans can protest. I just don’t get the late stage capitalism stockholm syndrome.

I’m not asking for all of you. Just the ones that doesn’t want this to happen.

Will do.

But could you all please like do a general strike, or lock down cities by protesting this shit?

Sure but counting on this as a forever state of the US is … risky.

This is wild. Russia claims to feel threatened by Nato and then attacks Ukraine. But Americans in Greenland is not a threat to them?

This is all bollocks.

If you can’t leave social media, then at least follow something that bores you today. It will make you less addicted and their data less valuable.

This is a horrible idea.
