The War on the Freedom of Movement Continued

The centrality of the car in the social and economic structure of society is evidenced by how citizens have voted with their pocketbook. A car is the single most expensive product that 98% of consumers ever purchase.

The goal of the bans is deceptively said not to be about denying any citizen the ability to own or afford a useful car. In fact, they go on to state that the efforts at the ban are in service of the goal to cut carbon dioxide emissions by mandating the use of so-called zero-emission electric vehicles.

In fact, as they claim, the process of “transitioning” to EVs for everyone, everywhere, will be painless because EVs are inevitably taking over the entire automobile market because they are simpler, better, and easier to use, and “cleaner.”
