@figaro @vlad76 Hey, did you guys know that speed limits exist because the faster a car goes, the more likely it is to kill someone?

If you don't go over the the speed limit not only do you not have to pay a fine, you're also less likely to kill someone! It's a win for everyone!

@Goblin_Mode But why do they like their cars? It's not spontaneous. It's because the automotive industry lobbied to destroy any other transportation option, so they need to have a car to survive. Obviously you'll like the thing that helps you survive. It's not that they like their cars, so they built their life around it. It's that their lives are built around them, so they don't have any other option but to like cars.

@Goblin_Mode @Diplomjodler Is it a cultural difference, or has the US lacking infrastructure forced you to make a different choice?
