'cause privately-owned cars are a significant contributor to mortality, and take up, like, 99% more space than is warranted?
I mean, everyone (well mostly everyone) is absolutely mortified by commercial aviation, which, like, commits literally 0.01% of those sins on a global scale?
If you think mostly everyone is absolutely mortified by commercial aviation, I think you must be in some sort of bubble. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I don’t agree with you on aviation, but on the car front you should also consider that they are an underutilized asset that sits idle for the vast majority of their existence.
"Mortified" means "extremely embarrassed". You seem to mean "terrified".
