Why is there such contempt toward transit? This isn’t some hippie new-aged ‘hurr durr busses are just big cars and trains are just cars on tracks and all motorised travel dims your spirit energy’ thing is it? If you want to ban cars, you need transit. In a scale any larger than a small village, you cannot walk or bike everywhere, and there are people who aren’t physically capable of walking or biking that still deserve to get to places.
At first I was a bit confused but reading this comment, yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about. And it drives me crazy. In my experience it’s people who are really into crystals as well, and as you said, anti vax and really science in general.
