Very interesting

I find this topic very relevant in what has happened to society. The reason cars are so convenient is because every facet of life is built around cars. Just think how we cater to this one product. Yes cars are a product. Roads and cities are designed for >> cars. The taxes are collected for>> road building. We go to war to secure fuel for >>this product. We constantly bail out car companies, because they're too big to fail. Our economy is so interwoven with this industry it's mind boggling , tires, steel, aluminum, paint, plastics . So when we say they are "convenient" , there really is a lot of catering, to this 1 product, for the illusion of "convenience ".
Hopefully at some point and time humans wake up to how unconvienent cars really are . When you factor in the pollution /war cost especially.. then you realize the true cost$$$ , goes beyond dollars.
