Between rising costs of living, student-loan debt, and the too-easy doomscroll-to-checkout pipeline, of course we’re overspending more than ever.

          It sets a direction.

            Political action sets a direction. Telling people who may not have the option that they should just do it, does nothing.

                No it doesn’t. It turns people against you when you act as if it’s just an option for everyone.

                  Why shouldn’t be an option for everyone, eventually?

                    Disabilities exist.

                    That said, my rural county has this neat shuttle service that people without cars can use to get to their jobs and the grocery store. There’s no reason every rural community couldn’t have the same thing.

                Ok I’ll tell my mother in law with water on her brain that she needs to bike to the hospital. It will broaden her view. She can’t walk without assistance. But you know, broader

                  Are you trying to be sarcastic? Riding a bike implies being able to ride it.
