Fuck Cars

This is maybe more like 'wtf cars'.

This study aims to expand the understanding of public acceptance of carbon taxes by exploring the role of habits. Habits play a pivotal role in guiding our behaviors and reasoning and can even influence our self perception and identity but remain an underexplored variable in relation to public policy acceptance. We employed a large scale (N > 5200) national survey to measure public acceptance of higher carbon taxation in Sweden, also capturing car driving habits, car usage, and other relevant variables. The findings show that habit strength is negatively correlated with policy acceptance, regardless of self reported driving distance, while also appearing to moderate the relationship between policy acceptance and environmental concern and political leaning, variables previously shown to be of relevance. The study suggests that the influence of habits needs to be recognized to better understand the formation of climate policy acceptance, and exploring this perspective paves the way for future research.

This is what forming your entire personality around hating bike lanes looks like.

This dude actually wrote a Christmas-themed poem praising "Saint" Doug Ford for his plans to destroy bike lanes.

Campaign by the US government to save rubber after the Japanese blocked supplies from Southeast Asia.

Wow, I'm sure those sweet, sweet, extra lanes will get you 2 seconds faster to work each day. At the cost of sustainable city and cyclists wellbeing.

On the line were 5 billions of swiss francs for motorway projects

Doug Ford's conservatives may not hold a monopoly on stupidity, but they certainly are majority shareholders.
