It sure get’s better when 200 people, mostly from the US, get in their private jets and travel half the world. That’s how that works, right? Right?

I think the opposite is true. If cars weren’t treated like they are a necessary part of the personality and instead just like a thing, the owners may stop valueing them less than other people’s lives. Like ‘I am in a hurry, I will just overtake that cyclist in front of me with an inch if distance, because I am so much more important.’
