    Ugh, cycle lanes. Get rid of sidewalks too. Make more room for our oversized child mashers! What are these things? Buildings? What are they for? They’re just getting in the way of more road! Get rid of it all!

    I won’t be happy until we’ve just got 4 million square miles of pure asphalt!

    Personally I think all private cars should be removed from cities. This way city would know exactly how much traffic it needs and where. Now it’s just prediction.

    Wtf, has this idiot forgotten about what it’s like getting stuck behind a cyclist on the road?! Absolute brain-rot.

    Yeah, just like in Scandinavia. Those places are shithole countries because of the bike lanes. Right? That’s the case, right?

    I wrote a huge explanation and then deleted it. The TL;DR is that all cars are are traffic. Bikes are too, but look around, what kind of traffic do you see?

    And I will still continue to point out that places which have the most traffic congestion, like highways, also do NOT have bike lanes in them.

    Strange how that happens, eh?

    You’d think that without bike lanes, 18 lanes for cars, no pedestrians “jaywalking”, no stop signs or stop lights, “go as fast as you want” speed limits, and no speed bumps that you’d NEVER see congestion. But then reality kicks you in the balls.

    EDIT: It’s actually hilarious the level of stupidity that carbrains have.

    Here’s a map of boston’s cycling infrastructure:

    And here’s a current snapshop of their traffic:

    Notice how there’s only heavy traffic on roads without cycling infrastructure? Fucking morons.

      No no no. That’s not how campaigning actually works. You need quick sound bytes, and promises that sound good if you don’t ever think about them. They don’t even have to be true. They just need to make the voter feel good. Just quick promises that can be said in 2-3 seconds, and doesn’t require you to think. Once you try to introduce free thought and critical thinking into politics the whole concept of elections falls apart if your whole agenda is to herd the masses.

      Which is why if you elect me president, I promise that no more airplanes will be used to hit the twin towers. Also bacon.

      I support your overall point but can you please keep the pejorative insults in the fuckcars community?

      It’s actually hilarious the level of stupidity that carbrains have.

        “Carbrain” is a real mental disorder, though. How else do you describe somebody who looks through a windshield and sees a long line of idling cars into the distance, and thinks, “clearly the problem here is bicycles.”

        (e: improved punchline)

          I’m not going to argue with you. I asked politely because the aggressive negativity is exhausting and there’s already a place for it. If my request bothers you that much then downvote and move on and at least I’ll know who to block to keep it out of my feed that way.

    I’ve read that if you want to kill someone, the best way to do it is to hit them with your car. The authorities will just be like “Oh, well, he was walking and you hit him what a terrible accident. Well, couldn’t be helped.”

    Maybe Kraft has a murder fetish. Probably he’s just a scumbag, though.
