The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

most people drive daily to work and back, and way too many who could do homeoffice have to do this only because of the corporation just "wanting" it, who's the owner of the corporation? other corporations, funds, banks, following the money, guess what you'll find? more malicious money.
How do you propose to solve these issues? Find a new job for everyone that can be done at a computer? Bring down multinational corporations?
Or make the situation slightly better by removing those daily emissions?
No, yes, and yes
there hasn't been a single solution for all problems since humans sort of know that solutions can exist. a bit of every step towards a better situation, and a bit more and more until it fits. i cannot say when it will fit, but destroying the future of whole generations is more like the definition of unfit than an achievement. it might be seen as glory by some confused and rich, but its filthyness in reality.
reduce demand-producers, reduce overall irrelevant work, that is i.e. all work done solely for increasing numbers on bank accounts that don't even change anything for that account owner any longer. we do ship things around the world that really should get processed locally. there are many things that are wrong only for keeping the pyramid schemes of the rich active.
Yeah, so in the context of cars, a small step in the right direction is the introduction of electric cars to replace ICE cars. It's a feasible and available step. I'm not hearing any other currently feasible ideas, and saying "just use public transport/bikes" is not a solution for every human who currently has a car.
And what about all the power needed to manage those systems and networks? Should we just go back to hunting and gathering?
