How far is in miles or kilometers? It sounds very doable if infrastructure is not forcing you a long way around :)
In my dense Europen city, even regular bike is faster than cars if we are talking in the city.

In the cities, sure. Outside the cities i think e-biks help a lot. 5 kilometers is fine on regular bike, maybe even 10 - but more that that is a lot easier on e-bike.
And i saw some research and how most trips are actually really short (where i live at least).
Also people have become way too unhealthy so just getting started, with all the sweating and exhaustion and wind is a barrier. Self-imposed, but still a barrier.
But i don’t get why none of those showed up in any feeds if they exist. I am very far left of centre (by american standards) you’d think some of the people i follow would share - or non-us media would.
But this is not that thread.
This is the thank-you-thread :)
My feelings in all this:
Why are Americans not protesting. Are they stupid?
Then
Okay, at least some are really not cool with this.
Then
Oh wait, those Americans not being cool with this must feel really damn bad.
So here’s one European saying thank you for your protests. You are not alone.
Also fair enough.
I will try better phrasing next time :)
Whoah there, buddy. Easy on the misinterpretations.
My point is that taking action is most likely to occur when there is a strong, present motivation. Not just for email provider choices, for everything.
I KNOW privacy is important. But switching something you already use out needs to be exciting.
To be honest, switching for privacy feels like a chore.
What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.
Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.
Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.
