        The main problem was that every car became an SUV so they could avoid the regulations. I just hope now that small cars don’t have to worry about them that more of them get on the market again.

    US government evolution of transportation ideology

    1. Walking is for the poors and the idiots
    2. Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
    3. Public transit is big government and communism and you’ll get mugged
    4. Cars are driving up gas prices
    5. ???
    6. PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)
