Is there a way that we can "solve" this with our tax money?


Clearly the solution is to forgive car loans for certain demographic groups.

This coupled with a new SECTION 9 Program to subsidize car payments would bring about equity and satisfy the cries of automotive injustice once and for all.

Is it even a remote possibility that some of these things cause accidents? Speeding, texting, drinking and drugging, not wearing seat belts, running from law enforcement. No, not possible.



Also, people who play with fire are more likely to get burned.

consider... putting children in car seats, not running red lights, not texting while driving and not being intoxicated/stoned while driving

Wait until the push for electric cars increases They'll really be left behind.

The war on poor people continues.

If the author would come ride with me on my morning commute from Collierville to Memphis on the 240 South Loop they could get a pretty good idea of why this is so

The goal of this piece is to encourage a mindset that cars are bad and people having cars is racist and causes climate change.

I still feel Secrion 8 is one of the most aptly named programs in history.

In the military, Section 8 means a discharge for insanity. And giving shitbags full rent via vouchers is pure insanity.

Much like a gun, a car can’t hurt me on its own. It needs the help of someone controlling it.

So......

They're "disproportionately impacted" by Covid, climate change, gas prices, heat waves, cold snaps, rain, drought, diabeetus, monkeypox, all flavors of STDs, food deserts, pot holes, gentrification, inflation, castration, retaliation, procrastination, population, police interaction, police inaction, and a lack of traction causing car crashes?

Did I cover it all?

So this article is saying that black folks cant drive? NYT said they don't know how to use the internet or get an ID. Liberals HATE black people so much.

When watching On Patrol, it is stunning the number of folks who have no license, insurance, registration and absolutely no guilt about driving.
