    Think of people who are disabled and can’t walk the 600 meters to the metro station or get on a bike.

    To be clear, those people should have mobility options available to them. But why do we put primacy on disabled people who can drive over disabled people who cannot drive?

    But a car or some other form of stable four-wheeled transport that can move them from door to door is necessary for a disabled person’s mobility

    Which disabled person? Disabled people are not a monolith, and many are unable to drive but perfectly capable of riding a bike, adaptive or otherwise.

    Disabled people and poor people are both disproportionately negatively affected by automobiles. The idea that they "have" to have access to a car because they are disabled isn't proof that disability requires cars, it's proof that even the people who can least afford it are burdened with having to have a car.

    I don't know if its my instance but I don't even see an article link. So from my perspective its not even close to nottheonion faire which is supposed to be real news articles that you would think came from the onion or other satirical news sites. Honestly its far to easy to find nottheonion articles now which is so sad.

    yeah see I do not see a link to his comment or anything with the post here so I assumed it was a post he did that was the picture. So heck Im confused by what he posted here given it does not explain enough much less what he had in nottheonion. I think he is going to get a lot of poor feedback from poor correspondence and I fully realize im all over the place with my fediverse things so its a bit like im the pot in this situation.

    It’s about a 10 year old who is advocating

    So you're going to accept whatever children say? That's all the more reason to question it.

    It’s beyond utopian to think zero cars is feasible in any way in the coming decades or so.

    It's actually the dystopian reality as oil and other resources become unaffordably rare. The extreme privilege of cars is only sustained through violence against humans and the planet.

    there will always be a necessity for cars,

    Wrong comm.
