most people overuse cars. They are, by and large, a convenience item. People can live without them

Throughout much of the country, going without a car would be a serious impediment.

Serious impediment =/= impossible

it's inconvenient and I cannot deny it

Most people in the US live in urban centres with public transit and have access to transit lines (not a huge majority, but most). American car manufacturers really pushed the everyone needs a vehicle thing, and American life got structured that way. It doesn't have to be like that. It can't stay like that, it's not sustainable. Shit needs to be evaluated and people need to be worrying, like, yesterday


I'm not talking about people living in urban centers -- although even there you have places where transportation is limited -- I'm talking about MOST of the country. Throughout large chunks of the country, going without a vehicle during winter is almost a death sentence.

Granted, even in cities you'd have some pretty major logistical issues if you didn't rely on automobiles for the transit of goods whether it's b2b or customers trying to bring their stuff home.

And "impossible" is setting a ridiculously high, completely insincere bar.
