An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Your Lemmy instance is running under Estonian domain and yet you still imagine the world as just USA

I mean I live in America, my perspective will be American. I'd argue Americans are typically really into cars and the freedom of the open road. I mean we pretty much made electric cars popular so I don't get your point.

I don't know the state of Estonia but I do pay attention to the rest of the world. Most European countries that embrace and properly build out public transportation have happier citizens, livelier public spaces, and healthier business overall.
