Then you’re not good, you’re just law compliant.

Strong Jesus win here

Sorry about your dog. But your example only highlights a tabu issue in these discussions, the negative impact that having a pet has. They consume meat, packaged food, are driven around, attack wild fauna (cats especially) etc. Pets is one of the items everyone should cut, but they’re only becoming more common, like SUVs.

The person under an abusive situation easily loses the car key to the abuser.

Ambulances get stuck all the time in congestioned cities and that’s a problem.

A car should never be someone’s night shelter, that person is homeless in that case. Houses, not cars, can solve the problem.

Want to do a special trip where car is the most convenient option? You can rent one out. If you only use a car a few times a year, buying one is a terrible waste of money and street space.

I think you meant 3706 years old.

I use them for running during winter and that’s a non issue.

As far as I know these anti-theft measures they demand are optional in Europe and you pay extra for them. If crime is low is not such an issue not having them. So maybe Chicago should bet on reducing crime instead?

The retirees don’t last so long (sorry), but overtourism is indeed a problem. Finding the right balance is the secret but clearly our politicians are not aiming for that… but in fairness, tourism was fantastic for many years to promote Porto’s renewal. But now it’s time to put a break on it but no one is interested in that :/

As an European I’m extremely confused by this news as well… so Chicago has a high crime problem and the city’s solution is to sue Asian carmakers? Sorry but this only makes sense in the US, I guess…

PS: maybe Hyundai should also sue Chicago city for failing to curb crime, a failure that leads to many car thefts?

You can buy very decent wine for less than 3€/bottle in any Portuguese supermarket 😅

So you want to dismantle the west, that is the most functional, equal and free region of the world and only then go after the “smaller threats” (that is f* Russia with its second biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, currently involved in a genocidal war to increase its territory, besides all the side conflicts from Syria to Niger). Just wow at your total delusion, that’s what speaking from a point of privilege is.

Oh America, come on:

• end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

• change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

• take religion out of the money.

• and since I’m at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

Thanks. I would love you so much more.

Swedes pilling up Qurans for the winter to save on wood in 1, 2…

• lioness 😅

This can easily be worse, saddly.

I upvoted because this message still didn’t reach everyone, but I guess it’s just that people are in denial… like, isn’t this obvious? And weren’t there already dozens of studies proving it?
