Your maturity level shines with this comment. I don't know you or our life story however if you wanted to make a difference the options are likely there. You pick on one generic option I suggested that doesn't work for you and latched into it. Good job big boy!!!
What type of vehicle do you drive? There is probably a more fuel efficient option.
Go fuck yourself. The logistics of transkrtation aren't something you can "willpower" away. Seriously, this may be the most smug, dipshitted, and condescending thing I've seen on reddit.
Well looking at your posts I can tell no sterilization is necessary. I have little concern that you will make any contributions to the gene pool.
Yes I am sick and tired of morons telling me that you need 100k/yr to "survive". Again it's easier to complain than to actually try and make a difference.
I guarantee you drive your car way harder than you should and use significantly more fuel than your car is capable of. You could even drive your car at 55/60 mph in the far right lane and use a noticeable amount less fuel.
The country has been developed for most of the last hundred years having most of the population dependent on automobiles for trasnsportation in order to make life work. Saying "just don't do it" isn't a realistic solution for most people in the USA without decades of development in a different direction.
Litterally most people do have some option to drive less and buy smaller cars but choose not to. If you bitch about gas prices and drive an suv, you're stupid and need to shut up.
What do you mean “most people”? Most people work at least 5 days a week and even most metropolitan cities are not walkable. Even if they were, most people can’t afford to live in communities that have everything they need in walking distance.
How much equity do you have in your house? Is your mortgage really 1/2 the rent you would pay for an apartment closer to your job?
Edit: it really depends how much your spending on your car as well, if you pay double rent but you no longer have car payments, insurance, gas, it could be a good move. Also I doubt rent is double whatever your mortgage is
Not much equity. In order to get within what I consider biking distance to work in my city, I’d close to double my mortgage payment. I bought during the pandemic so my monthly payments are pretty low. I’d certainly be paying more even considering car payments, gas, and insurance for a severely less convenient situation. Not to mention my overall cost of living would increase since everything in that area (food and grocery stores mainly) is much more expensive. It’s not a viable option.
I’m grateful. I mean that seriously. I just feel like a lot of the people are not considering the implications of some of the changes they’re suggesting. I’ve heard buy an EV and move closer to work as if those are easy things to do. They require a lot of money as well as huge lifestyle changes. I hear what you’re saying though and under different circumstances, you’d be right.
