World Economic Forum Says It Is 'Time to Look Beyond' Private Vehicle Ownership

[hadit]

Actually, China is ahead of us on alternative energy

They also continue expanding their use of coal.

It comes down to do people have the right to personal choice. The majority of people prefer an automatic transmission in their vehicles, I have a manual transmission in my truck because I like it . Should those in power force me to do otherwise?

According to the paper, “The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time.”

Could make sense to belong to a car sharing program

You’re inner Commie is showing.
Yeah, they OWN cars because they don’t want to.

Ever been to where they have public use of bicycles? You find them in creeks, woods, etc.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Subscriptions are gonna be a way of life for some. Many companies belong to a co-opt for plane ownership. Makes sense in cars if you dont utilize all the time. Why is this some freedom restricting red flag?

That’s called PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, Shitforbrains.

 

[Weatherman2020]

ICE will go the way of the horse and buggy

Auto manufacturers are no longer investing in them

Free market, Commie.
And a lot of companies make buggies in 2022

The cars would be driven to Mexico and sold for real money.

Oh come on!!!
You know they'd have tracking devices and in car cameras.
With a kill switch for good measure.

We give up freedoms so easily. Going on an airplane is a miserable trip because of the same thinking today.

Yep....
I remember when flying was fun.
The airlines went out of their way to make your trip pleasurable.
Sky Bars were the norm on larger craft.
Now days it's a pain in the ass.

That's been number one on their list since at least 2016 - 8 predictions for the world in 2030

"1. All products will have become services. “I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes,” writes Danish MP Ida Auken. Shopping is a distant memory in the city of 2030, whose inhabitants have cracked clean energy and borrow what they need on demand. It sounds utopian, until she mentions that her every move is tracked and outside the city live swathes of discontents, the ultimate depiction of a society split in two."

Sounds utopian? Not.

It is bad for your wallet if you have to make a car payment, registration and insurance on a vehicle you rarely drive

My truck is paid for and I dont pay much for full coverage insurance because I dont drive it often.
Registration is $60 bucks a year which is chump change.

We're getting rid of 90% of the passenger vehicles, both piston and EV ... what kind of lazy pig can't bicycle to work? ... an AMERICAN lazy pig !!! ... God, I kill me ...

Not everyone lives close enough to there place of employment to make that feasible.
I rode my bike to work when I was a youngster 20 miles each way. But then I worked at a bike shop and riding was part of my life.
And then of course you have inclimate weather to deal with.

Why do you hate freedom?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I for one refuse to use public transportation.

the thought of being packed into a bus or a subway car like sardines is enough to give me nightmares

I was subjected to mass transit when I was young.
Two and a half hours each way to work sucked!!!
Especially when it was a thirty minute drive by car.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

It is not so much what you can afford , but what your priorities are

If you can save $1000 a month by using a car share vehicle, you can afford other things

I'll gladly pay that for the convenience of owning my own vehicle.

It comes down to do people have the right to personal choice. The majority of people prefer an automatic transmission in their vehicles, I have a manual transmission in my truck because I like it . Should those in power force me to do otherwise?

Absolutely it does. Your refusal to go along with the majority makes you a suspicious person.

Nothing that can't be overcome. Next, your house is too big. The government will give you roommates to support.

That’s called PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, Shitforbrains.

What’s your point?

Captan Hyperbole strikes again!

 

[Weatherman2020]

What’s your point?

Funny how all Commies can never grasp economic basics.
If the FREE market wanted loner cars from the government they’d be asking for it, Commie.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Captan Hyperbole strikes again!

Says Commie demanding state run transportation for all travel.

 

[Desperado]

You plebes are too dangerous having the liberty to freely move around on your own.
