What kind of liberal bullshit is this, asking us PROUD AMERICANS to stop using OUR FREEDOM CARS for some bullshit liberal environmental WOKEISM?!

As a former Texas resident: The Texas government can fuck alllllll the way off with that. Design a city that doesn’t need cars and people won’t need to use them. Residents HAVE to use cars because the place is so fucking unfriendly to pedestrians.
Houston is one of the worst cities I’ve ever been to. Fuck you if you’re trying to walk anywhere, fuck you right in the heart. That includes if you’re walking to and from your
car.massive truckAlso fuck you are you trying to drive? You fucking crazy?
I’ve hated only a small number of cities I’ve visited. Denver comes to mind, Los Angeles, Wichita Kansas, and if you took all the hate I have for those three cities, injected it with hgh and heroin, it would be a small shadow on the wall for the pure unadulterated rage I have for Houston Texas.
Gary Indiana wasn’t as hostile. Fucking Ferguson during the protests wasn’t as hostile. And I saw a carjacking 10 minutes after stepping off the fucking plane thé last time I was there.
Fuck Texas. Give it back to Mexico.
I have a friend that works in Texas and his IT department literally forced all their employees who have been WFH since COVID to start coming into the office 5 days a week again. So literally the opposite of what this article is stating. Companies need to be held liable for this shit, especially if they have infrastructure in place to easily adopt WFH.
I used to live in a very car dependent city and now I’m somewhere that I can easily walk or bike anywhere I need and get there within 15 minutes and I am very grateful for that. Our biking and public transport infrastructure keeps getting improvements, too, which is awesome.
If they want people to use their cars less they need to start making that an actual option. This is not on the individuals but the government.
People are pretty predictable ultimately, we take the path of least resistance most of the time. If it’s quicker or cheaper or easier to do something one way then we’ll do it that way.
I’m calling bullshit. Walking for 15 minutes puts you in a circle about 1-2 miles in diameter, a bike, maybe like 5-6 miles in diameter. You simply cannot pack every place you would want to regularly go to, into an area that small, and still have room for people to live unless you severely restrict your lifestyle and become a hermit, or live in Kowloon Walled City.
- But air quality aways changes
- Man can’t affect the air (weather)
- There is no consensus
- plants and animals adapt
- Ozone is Oxygen which is good for us

Don’t forget that this state is not one cohesive government. The CITIES where this is being said are largely blue cities that absolutely believe in climate change and do things to prevent it (though probably not enough). So please don’t assume all the governments here are as stupid as the state government
And the rural asshats are 100% going to drive into town in their giant trucks because city folk said not driving is a good idea…
Why would Republicans are about pollution? Pollution hurts WOMEN!
