    I can’t tell if you’re so illiterate and incurious that you genuinely don’t know that for most of human history those jobs have been done by people living where the work is,not if you’re just a disingenuous fuckhead who was hoping I didn’t know that. Either way I’m pretty sure that any further conversation had with you would be boring and pointless.

      And I don’t know if you’re just a moron who thinks they’re being funny, or if you really are that horrendously uneducated. Even farmers need to go to town from time to time for supplies, and perhaps to sell their produce. And towns generally aren’t where farms are, since farms, require, y’know, acreage.

      As for loggers, they generally worked where they lived because of company towns, which if you’re ignorant of that charming part of human history, were very, very bad.

        And thanks for proving there’s no point in even discussing what’s possible with you since you can’t imagine anything different from what is.

          ‘Different from what is’? I thought we were talking about

          People who use cars for personal transportation are sick, and need to be institutionalized for everyone’s safety.

          If that’s the difference you want, to lock up farmers, loggers, rural mail carriers, and the like, then I’d rather not imagine that, thanks.

          Curious on your take on what to do with commercial truck drivers. Or do you think things like cut trees and the bulk of most farmers’ produce just magically teleports itself to where it needs to go?

            Since you can’t understand the difference between “using a vehicle for work” and “personal transportation” there’s really not much hope of this conversation being remotely interesting or enlightening.

            A farmer driving produce to market in a truck is in no way ethically or functionally equivalent to a wannabe hermit driving 100 miles round trip for their kids pop warner practice in the next county over where they actually have enough people to build a football field.

            For the similarly illiterate and unimaginative:

            Delivery vehicles - good

            Work vehicles - good

            Emergency vehicles - good

            Licensed, insured taxis - good

            Buses and other mass transit - good

            Personal vehicles - bad

            Communities built to be unlivable without everyone having a personal vehicle - bad

            People who defend using cars for personal transportation - bad

              I know that. But your original statement had no carve-outs, no caveats. You just wanted to lock up every single person with a car. It was only after you got pushback that you ‘permitted’ some people to have vehicles.

              Kindly go soak your head.

                Your inability to understand that “personal transportation” isn’t inclusive of ambulances and work trucks doesn’t mean I didn’t say it exactly that way the first time. I didn’t break out the crayons to draw you a picture until you made it clear you’re illiterate.

                  I’m illiterate for objecting to you wanting to lock up farmers and loggers and other people who need personal vehicles? That’s a wild take.

                  How about you’re an authoritarian asshole for wanting to lock a bunch of innocent people up, and a shithead asshole for wanting to punish drivers in general instead of the people who made a car-centric society the only viable society in many parts of the world.

                    You’re damn sure illiterate for thinking that a farm truck is a personal vehicle.

                    Time to fuck off to the block list, carhole.

                    I hope the next year’s 38k includes someone you love, then maybe you’ll care more about safety and the environment than your stupid fucking convenience.
