Jokes aside, the #Enshittification and #Enfattening of #Cars as well as spread of #CarCentrism #Propaganda from the #USA is a massive issue.
- #Affordable, #accessible and #available #PublicTransport is a non-negotiable necessity even if we don't give a fuck about #ClimateChange simply because at this rate, people will soon be unable to afford anything.
#Greedflation needs to be actively combatted by #regulation and that also means setting the right #incentives...
For example, keeping Public Transport affordable and thus induce demand (See #DeutschlandTicket) is one way.
Another Option is to prioritize #PersonalLightVehicles over #SuperUselessVehicles in terms of #RoadTax, #Parking and #regulation.
The #Netherlands were once almost as #CarCentric as the #USA [ @notjustbikes can propably vouch for that looking into the History, digging up 1960s & 1970s Amsterdam as example.] but they chose to do something about it with the fact that as a #German I can vouch for the fact that the Netherlands have excellent roads and far less traffic due to viable alternatives.
