People crying about Nintendo Online pricing. First off, it’s for an entire year, not by monthly, so I don’t know how that’s a negative. That’s just an example.

The price of petrol/gas. If you’re not happy stop buying it.
Get an EV. Use a bike. Use public transport. Use your own two fucking feet. Fossil fuels are dying anyway, quicker you get off it the better.
Public transport. Doesn’t really exist in this area
Use a bike: works great unless you are older or there are no safe places to ride or both
Use your feet… it’s 5 miles to get to the hardware store, 4 miles to get to the grocery store, 6 miles to get to work. How is that going to work in sub zero temps or when it’s raining
Get an ev . They are expensive and I can barely keep my car on the road.
I live rural with no car and pretty mediocre public transport. No spring chicken and not particularly active. If I can get by anyone can. US is a bit different but thats cos you fetishised automobiles.
Okay, what about ebikes? What about electric mopeds or scooters? And infrastructure helps but its definitely not essential.
Obviously walking is only ideal for shorter journeys. My grandparents used to walk 5-10 miles daily cos there was no other way to get about. You wrap up warm, and to be honest when theres ice/snow on the ground I prefer to walk.
Nope. Healthy second hand market these days, and plenty of cheap little ones most governments will give you a grant for. Cheaper to fuel. Cheaper to maintain cos less moving parts.
“If you don’t like the price of gas just buy an EV”
Gives big “if you’re homeless just buy a house” energy.
Look, EVs have been around a long time now. Healthy second hand market. Lots of cheap little brand new ones and most governments are throwing grants at them. Cheaper to run and maintain cos of less moving parts.
There was a time when they were the preserve of the wealthy but thats just not true anymore.
I mean that’s all true, you can get a decent EV for $10,000. Assuming you’re also able to charge it and stuff. But a lot of people aren’t in a financial position for even a $10k car loan with no money down. Those monthly payments would put them over the edge. I’m sorry if you didn’t mean it that way. This was my knee-jerk response to hearing “if you don’t like high gas prices then buy an EV.”
Some people can of course and they should just buy an EV instead of complain about putting $100 in their F150. But II think they are a small minority of people who also thought a huge tuck was perfect to commute 20 miles to their office job.
I’m assuming you’re in US, and your comment kinda sums up your biggest problem.
You’ve focussed on automobiles and dismissed public transport, bikes etc. You dont need a car, you want a car.
