    Walking, biking, public transport, EVs, electric bikes, ride sharing? No no no, that requires personal reflection, effort, and changing my ways.

    Why can’t the government just prop up my unsustainable environment destroying way of life?

      As much as I want to pile on, she’s essentially asking whether or not it would be a good idea to switch to an EV, to which I would emphatically say it’s a no-brainer. But I still feel it would be better for everyone, if she walked her kids to and from school.

      She should just ignore bad governance and pull herself up by her bootstraps, overcome gargantuan geopolitical forces with personal willpower.

      This mother should take personal responsibility. Otherwise the rulers would have to rule effectively.
