Yeah, I commute into work both by car or train, depending on the day. On the days I take the train it's so much better. Just zone out listening to music or playing on a steam deck, no need to worry about keeping an eye on the road.
Same! I take the metro, rented bikes, and walk to get pretty much everywhere. I have a car, it’s a sportscar that I’ve been to the track woth several times and maintain myself. I’m a better driver than them, even in the commuting sense, and I know far more about my expensive purchase than they ever will, and yet their the ones screeching about their bullshit “war on cars” that isn’t even real.
I’ll never go back to needing a car to do basic daily life things, it’s fucking horrible and I don’t know why anyone would want to live like that.
Someone needs to just start mimicking all this MAGA nonsense à la the Onion, but maybe with more specific references.
"BREAKING: Dozens of lifted pickup trucks covered in cult symbols show up at Trump rally. Parking lot is filled despite only 1-2 people per vehicle. All of them appear to wear identical hats.
Why do these weird sightings only occur at Trump rallies?"
I live in one of the top 10 largest cities in the US and the concept of a functional public transportation system is alien. Gotta be at work at 630 or 7 am? Gotta get home from work after 7pm? Too bad that's too early or too late to make it because the bus doesn't run 24 hours.
I'm actually surprised that this isn't how it works at Trump rallies considering he is a former president. When I went to see Obama at the Lincoln National Cemetery, they had everyone arrive in a different location and then had them go through security before getting on busses to the real location where his speech would be. I'm assuming that's what is happening for Kamala's rallies as she is the current VP. But it also just makes sense from a security standpoint of a former president? I'm also no expert and just speculating.

Public transport? Sounds like socialism to me.

We live in a high transit city. Some colleagues live in the suburbs and can’t get that we don’t have a car.

People sharing the same vehicle? Like sitting next to each other and breathing the same air? Easily communism.

Why are there so many buses taking people in sports jerseys to the stadium on game day? It's a conspiracy, those people must be paid actors!

I dont watch sports and can't see why anyone would pay to watch it. Now it all makes sense.

It’s because Abbott spent $225M bussing migrants around the country for no reason. The Republican budget is obviously tapped for mass transit.
