‘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.
