> join a car share program for the outlier trip.

Any kind of "share" program inevitably will wind up becoming "I have to compete for this resource when I want to use it, which means sometimes I won't be able to access it when I need it"

So that's a big fat no from me

You can share access to important resources all you want. I'm not playing that game




Share programs are not meant to be the main source of anything.

But here is another idea: what if the US were able to build an alternative system for transporting more people efficiently? Then the need for cars would be reduced and consequently no fight over one specific type of resource.

Maybe they could call it, I don't know, mass transit...


So I'm guessing you own a private jet as well?


If I could afford it, I would.

Are you really gonna hold up flying as an example of a "share" that works? Flying is notoriously a miserable experience, between security, delays, cramped seating...

Yeah, I mean, it'll get you to where you're going but it's not really an enjoyable experience.
