I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

    TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

    Choices like:

    • under investment in public transit and rail
    • Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs
    • low density housing policies
    • And, if we’re being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy

    All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

      You have a far more positive outlook than me. I’ve seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers.
