The “what if you wanted to go to heaven, but god said ____” meme template, but here it says, “What if you wanted to walk to get groceries, but city planners said DRIVE”. The last panel is an image of a massive freeway full of cars.
This what I never understood.
Where I lived, in high school (age 15-16) everyone was expected to get a license and car ASAP. I was like, why? To get to your job. For what? To earn money to pay for the car, gas, insurance, etc.
So you want me to work a job I don’t need to pay for the gas for a car I don’t want, so I can be miserable in school?!
And if you looked at the driving records of my peers who had cars… Not pretty. A lot of totalled sports cars.
Believe it or not working at McDonalds in your “spare” time when you’re already school full time and an athlete, isnt a whole lotta fun xD
And when there was something going in, they would ask if we needed a ride, bc plenty of us didn’t have cars. Our idea of fun was like DnD or Risk on the weekends…
What I do wish is that I had found some kind of summer internship or something that could build my skills, because I was quite into coding as a hobby.
Welcome to lemmy everyone. In this comment section you’ll find:
- people missing the point
- people jumping to conclusions
- people getting angry at something they made up
And more! Have fun
It isn’t a proper lemmy comment section yet, there has yet to be someone blaming the issue on capitalism
I see the carbrains have found this post
I hate the way people drive here but I am at least able to walk to the grocery store. It’s right across the street.
ohhhh, now I finally understand why people complain in Germany each time the gov plans to build a highway
