There is no place for logic on this sub!
Only endless complaining and pretending that everyone has the exact same situation. And god forbid we have choice too.
I'll take mass transit if it is convenient, I'll hop on my electric bike when I want, but I also will take a gasoline car or electric car if it makes more sense to do that or if I simply want to go cruise around for a bit.
It sounds like you think the only solution is one that works for every situation. "We all must have helicopters because that is the only way into my volcano lair."
Strawman argument. Try living outside of the dense urban bubble.
Dude. I have lived on a sailboat, a powerboat, a tent, a sleeping bag, a highrise penthouse and more. It's not a straw man. I am calling out your argument not making a new one. Stop playing to the camera.
Careful, your privilege is showing.
