I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

You mentioned youtube channels with "urban" and "city" in the name. I hate cities. I hate the filth, the graffiti, the constant barrage of people invading your personal space, the endless rows of concrete and steel buildings covering what used to be nature. America is a beautiful country that still has plenty of rural areas that people like me can call home. For people like me, cars are a necessity.

As far as cities go, I strongly believe that part of problem with traffic congestion is a lack of space for automobiles. Remove the bike lanes, remove the sidewalks, and convert them into extra lanes of travel for cars.

Stay away from the cities if you hate them so much! Let the people who live in them have the bikes, busses, trains and the like. Problem solved! Everyone's happy, it's a win win actually.

You've mentioned in another comment that cyclists make your rural life inconvenient. It's same with cities, your car's presence makes city dwellers' lives inconvenient. Are you willing to have a compromise that cyclists will not use the rural roads as long as you don't drive on city roads (I am only suggesting this because you wanted cyclists off the road)?

I also have to point out that you really speak like a guy who haven't watched any of the channels I mentioned. The problems you mentioned have been already solved elsewhere.

As far as cities go, strongly believe that part of problem with traffic congestion is a lack of space for automobiles.

Your belief doesn't align with data. It's been shown time and time again that no matter how many lanes you add, congestion levels always return to original levels. On the other hand, when lanes are dedicated to buses and trams, congestion is reduced. But you must have known this already if you've watched NotJustBikes' video titled "The best country in the world for drivers"
