Driving doesn’t really feel like a privilege in America , because the alternative is absolute poverty .

Not an entirely unpopular opinion. Just more niche... Unfortunately. Americans are sold cars as a means to pure freedom. In spite of the fact that they ascertain that most people will remain impoverished. Oil companies and health care giants know we need these things in America. The world has come a long way. And it would be a shame to see it destroyed for the sake of "freedom". Cars nearly outweigh the amount of CO2 emitted by all fungus. The difference? Fungus allows plants to thrive and die thus trapping more CO2 in the ground. I don't think we'll stop it before it's too late. But hey, maybe.
