Ding dong, youā€™re wrong.

I have an older retired mother who uses a cane and can easily move about once she gets into the store by using the cart to stabilize herself. Taking public transportation is a no-go where she lives, because the one thing that I havenā€™t seen mentioned here yet, is crime. As an older woman with a walking aid, sheā€™s the prime target for criminals, who also know old and elderly tend to not trust banks and use cash.

I do what I can to help and support her, however this is not always feasible, and in her words, sheā€™d ā€œbe damned if she wasnā€™t able to get out of the house and do her damn shopping herselfā€.

And sheā€™s able to drive just fine. But I guess she should give up her car, her freedom, so you can feel better about, whatever the fuck you think it is that getting rid of cars will fix.

Public transport simply isnā€™t suitable enough for them.

Ding dong, youā€™re wrong. Walkable cities are more accessible for everyone than the carcentric dystopia.

And you literally quoted someone talking about public transport, so thereā€™s that. Canā€™t wait to see what fun things you come up with to call me this time.

Walkable isnt ā€œwalkableā€ for someone who has trouble walking. Brainwashed? Hmm. Explain. And twat? Thereā€™s two reasons youā€™d use that word, youā€™re either European or Australian, and if thatā€™s the case, Iā€™ll take twat and wear it as a badge of honor. The other case is youā€™re American and around my age or older where that word would be in our vernacular, in which case, at least you didnā€™t call me a cunt, because then Iā€™d be really sad.
