    I grew up in northern Minnesota. Fuck whatever your saying. You absolutely can pop to the grocery. It’s disingenuous AF to say this place is inhospitable without automobiles. The Anishinaabe have managed it. I managed it. Litteral millons do.

    What you meant to say is “surviving in a place like Minnesota requires planning and community” I’m MN born and raised. I haven’t owned an automobile for 15years. It’s very possible.

    And seeing how there’s ten billion souls on this planet, rapidly fucking it up, it would behoove us to live with less resource expenditures. Any way you stack it up, from leaded gasoline to the sleekest EV, the personal automobile is a gluttonous, selfish act. We can live without them, your very existence is proof. Ride the bus, snow shoe, ski, walk bus, fuck.
