      Op, and this thread isn’t mocking the person imprisoned by a Honda Accord for not simply taking a 200mph train through the Alps while sipping a glass of wine to get to work, its mocking them and you for not understanding how bad things are and defending such a terrible system. Better things are possible, but it requires systemic change, nobody expects tragicinfo to personally build a high-speed rail network.

            So can uninformed brave keyboard warriors, squabbling for internet likes. Put your child on your motorcycle and take them to school if you’re so anti-car.

              I see children on motorbikes every day here in vietnam, its how people get their kids to school.

              Under 14-16 the parents or older brother drops the kids off, sometimes you see a mom with 2 kids between her legs and 1 one the back. Around that age they tend to get electric scooters and drive themselves and maybe 1-2 friends. At 16 they can get a 49cc bike, but a lot illegally ride a 110cc.

              Its not possible in America because we designed everything around cars. Look outside your bubble, things don’t have to be so bad.
