      Cars are fucking terrible for the economy.

      Possible productive hours are wasted with long commutes, because driving takes effort and work.

      They caused us to build urban areas spread out in a density that is not self sustaining.

      Its horrible for the environment, and climate change is gonna be absolutely great for the economy in the next decades. /s

      Not too mention all the money and engineerimg that went into the technology of ICE cars that’s now obsolete.
