Exactly. Cars are horrible, they made everything worse for everyone except the few people with money to buy a car.

Cars produce toxic fumes, air pollution, noise pollution with their engine noises and horns, light pollution with their headlights pointed directly into my fucking eye, consume incredible amounts of resources to function, consume a fuckton of resources for road maintainability waste millions of man-hours in soul-crushing traffic jams, all that for them to be slower than me on my fucking bike inside the city.

Yeah the horse and buggy manufacturers were right, cars were a mistake. We just doubled down on that mistake.
