    IMO, I can’t see how making progress on car maintainability would be easier than on car dependency.

    One depends on local politics, the other on national (or maybe even national to a foreign nation) politics or somehow convincing a global oligopolist to lose a bit of money to help your cause.

    But if you want to work on it, good luck and all the power to you. Don’t stop just because another problem exists.

      Oh, I’m not trying to say either are going to be easy, but they both have their individual benefits and there’s some overlap. Having more community-based knowledge of internal combustion engines could still help people switch to motorcycles as a start.

      You also never know when someone will make a connection that’s never been thought of before, and completely change how we think about transportation, and the more knowledge in more people’s hands, the better.

      Just trying to say it’s a “Yes, and” situation.
