Almost every day I've to drive past a high school or rather the parking lot of a high school. It's a wealthy area so most of the kids there get their own car at 16.
1 kid = 1 car.
Next block is a primary school with the same principle 1 kid = 1 pick-up car.
If I'm unlucky enough to be there around 3pm I've to witness one of the worst display of Human stupidity and selfishness where hundreds of kids and parents drive empty cars in the same directions.
How can I have any hope for the future when I see wealthy and I assume, educated people rejecting car pooling probably on the ground that it's child abuse to force kids to share a car or worst, use public transportation (the horror! /s).
Car culture is destroying not just the planet, it's destroying social solidarity.

When I first saw this, I thought, "This is the horrible sort of low-end treatment our healthcare system is bringing us to - where we get surgery at the mall." And now I think, "No, we're not headed in a direction that's this nice."
