Do you understand at all how much damage you do to the cause of fighting climate change/environmentalism by playing these silly semantic games? How can I take you seriously when you arbitrarily redefine stuff you don't approve of as 'luxury'?



How can I take you seriously when you arbitrarily redefine stuff you don't approve of as 'luxury'?

It's not approve or disapprove it's afford or not afford in a wider sense than your personal affordability.

I don't disapprove of you or your life choices. I disapprove of a system which necessarily hangs up on this individualistic story against aggregates.

Not wanting to drive (hah) too far on this, the road system you drive on is a state and federal investment. If the heavy goods went by rail andnot road, and we did focus on deisel abatement and NO and particulates reduction you might have upsides.


Is it not generally accepted that a personal car is a luxury? The vast majority of people in the world do not have one.
