Good God in heaven...Wtf is this template ? This shit is some freaking modern art masterpiece that I'd buy for 2 millions if I was a rich eccentric asshole. Sadly , am not.

Iirc, I found it on r/memetemplatesofficial last year, made the background transparent in a photo editor, then added the sprawl background picture from google images.

Magnifique work mon cher . It captures the subtle yet screaming truth that younger generation have to deal with. I will send you a check in few hours. My new castle in France need some lovely artworks and yours fit in the mariage of past and modernity that my friends from new York adore. They're visiting next week.

Female love interest from the Goofy Movie. "Roxanne" I think?

Yeeeaaahhh.... Why did we decide this was a good idea?

Because of corruption and relentless propaganda by Big Oil and the car manufacturers. Oh, and throw in zoning laws motivated by a healthy dose of racism.

I don't think there are people who are really voting for this so much as they are voting for people who support this among other things. The car and fuel industries own the politicians

Look at the backlash about 15 minute cities. People definitely vote for this.

Yeah I don't think this is the average voters dream when casting a ballot, but they aren't necessarily well researched on representation either.

Well I purchased my car, I want to drive it everywhere.

Edit: I am ironic. I don't even own a car.

Places I feel I deserve to drive my car because I purchased it:

Every road in the world (even if I don't pay my fair share of tax to that, or other roads.)

Raised roads (some people call them sidewalks or bike lanes? IDK, all looks like asphalt to me)

Inside hospitals (you want me to walk from reception to pre-surgury? lol!)

In the grocery store (why do they give me this ghetto push-power car when I'm just going to transfer it all to my real car?)

Nature (I like nature, so I love driving through it on asphalt with my AC. My friend has a real big truck they say can drive through non-asphalt nature, but we haven't tried it yet because they don't want scratches).

My kid's school (I heard some parents make they kids walk to school, but I won't do that, it's 2 km and I don't want them getting hit by a car).

Exactly. They would literally drive up to everything. I mean not everyone is like that. But a lot are.
