Remember this is all being done while our roads and especially our bridges are starting to seriously fall into disrepair.
:^)
Honestly we need to start radicalizing truckers and explaining this to them. If we let truckers go become reactionaries en masse then we're seriously fucked.
I don't know why, but I find it hard it's not retail or fast food worker as the most popular.
Undeniable truths, comrade
These sort of articles bother the shit out of me. American media is cancerous
There are many reasons for it.
- Boojify the middle classes by making them feel like they live in isolated little castles.
- Car companies control the government, part of a fascist conspiracy involving Henry Ford.
- More spread-out = less vulnerable to air raids and ICBM nukes, supposedly.
- More spread-out = harder for workers to organize
- Easier for tanks and APCs to traverse loads of roads instead of dense cities. Harder to make barricades. etc.
It really is a headscratcher that not many people mention. Public transportation advocacy is becoming hot now and socialists are often (and should be) involved.

Chill with the workerism lmao
I mean there are the Subaru socialists in Park Slope who care way more than the millennial marketing hipsters who co-opted socialism as an "thing" in Williamsburg, but there's a ton of diversity in NY and it may have more leftists than any city in the US, despite being the heart of capitalism.
This is the truth. The suburbs killed solidarity with the notion of the temporarily embarrassed millionaire("classless" middle class), hyper consumerist, not caring about your neighbors shtick. We would have been better with large dense cities surrounded by small dense towns surrounded by farmland and all connected via railways. Rather than this unnatural urban sprawl into suburban sprawl into farmland into suburban sprawl into urban sprawl. It's killing our environment and for commuters it would be much easier to go via railroad rather than by car.
