Cars are one of the biggest scams and money pits in western society. So much of our personal and civil resources are used to maintain cars and the infrastructure necessary for them. While I do love the act of driving cars and find them cool as hell, I really wish I didn’t have to rely on one to work and survive.
You’re onto something here, playing with the mark fisher quote, cars are so important for our current paradigm of society that it is easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of cars.
The solution proposed by our genius billionaires is to replace fossil fuel cars with electric cars lol.
For real owning a car costs me at least 100-150 euro’s extra each month. And I barely drive it. My gf needs it because she works in some remote part of the country without proper public transport connection but otherwise I might as well save all the money and buy a train subscription or something.
