You're lucky, sorry to say. Sometimes you need a car now due to life circumstances. The average used car is like 10k USD. If you have months and months to wait for a Craigslist grandma to sell a Camery at a loss, then you're fine. But sometimes you get rear ended by a nigger and your car is undrivable and you have to get car.

From what I've read it really depends on where you live. In Texas it's very easy to open an independent used car lot on something as small as half an acre or less (zoning and all permitting), just the standard business permit and a dealers' permit (inexpensive) and you're good to go. In other states, this is nearly impossible.

These idiots will lie to you to justify their position even if you take their hand and point at the exact frame in the video where they run the red light, they will still lie that they did not do it. Most people grow out of this at age 5-6, pajeets and asians do not but that's a cultural difference.Running the red light:
Only when I made my driving license I realized how stupid cyclists are (and how I was with my bike) with their lax approach to traffic rules. If you are on a bike you can get away with a lot more than when driving a car because you can change the course of your movement very quickly to avoid a collision. That's not the case with cars and that would not be the case if the bike lanes were equally congested like streets, they too would need stricter traffic rules and signals.

The "privately funded" Brightline high speed train just got a multi-hundred million dollar bailout from Florida, the feds, and from Miami-Dade and Broward counties:
Yes, the money is technically supposed to go towards building a new commuter rail line, but most of the money is being given to Brightline for rights to use "their" infrastructure.
Miami-Dade also already paid to build some of Brightline's stations:
The bailout money won't last long though: last year they lost $493 million dollars.

Car was occupied too
I can only conclude that this is a gay love song between Marshmello and Kane Brown based on the music video.
As apposed to the electric car charging stations that are swarming with Jeets? You still have to touch the plug to charge the car. Then sit around outside (among the pajeets in their model 3s) while it charges. At least that's what I see in the grocery store parking lot.

High speed passenger rail has great potential to fill that gap where it's too far to drive and too close to fly.
Train might never beat the car, but it absolutely can beat the plane. Remember, most of your flight is spent on the ground! Even if your flight is 20 mins you still spend two hours boarding and one hour getting your stuff off the plane.
Give the people of America the bullet train that travels at the cruising speed of a jet liner across the country and Europe can bask in its glory.

Jason's video about how NYC is a better Disney World is out:
Since it's just stock photos, screenshots are meaningless.
Which one do you think is better?
The Lower East Side:
Or Epcot:
Since it's just stock photos, screenshots are meaningless.
In the heart of Bay Lake, Florida lies Disney’s World Showcase in Epcot, a billion dollar venture that dared to dream: what if you could eat pizza and dumplings in the same place? Well, a billion dollars down and they created a knockoff of this New York neighborhood. To the north of Canal Street, Little Italy. To the south, Chinatown.
An authentic Epcot? Yeah, I’ll take it.
Imagine stuffing a cannoli into a baked pineapple pork bun and eating that in the bar where they filmed Tony Soprano meeting with New York mob bosses…Doesn’t necessarily sound pleasant, but the point is you could. And good luck doing that in Disney World.
Though the result is much better, the origins of the close quarters of Little Italy and Chinatown certainly lack the magical qualities of Disney. In the 19th century, the area was known as Five Points, and many knew it as the most crime and disease ridden part of the city. But for new immigrants, the neighborhood offered cheap tenement housing and protection within their own communities.
A Chinese, Italian, Irish, and Puerto Rican immigrant all walk into a bar– that’s just a regular old Tuesday in 19th century Lower East Side Manhattan. And within that one little neighborhood, all these ethnic groups lived in very close proximity, though the distinctions were clear. There was a Little Germany, a Little Ireland, and even within Little Italy, the Sicilians would live on Elizabeth Street and the Neapolitans would live on Mulberry. You might be thinking “but they’re all Italian.” Ok, well, Yankees and Mets fans are all New Yorkers, but do they like each other? No.
Through the 20th century, many immigrant populations left Five Points and resettled throughout New York’s five boroughs to pursue other labor opportunities. But the Italians and the Chinese stayed.
Italian businesses thrived with surging interest in Italian culture and the community rallied cultural institutions like churches, including Old St. Patrick’s where Martin Scorsese served as an altar boy. I know. Working in a church to working in Hollywood? There is no further stray from God. But I love Hollywood, so if you happen to be a Hollywood bigshot and you’re looking for an amazing voiceover actor, I hear the guy from Not Just Bikes has a beautiful voice. Check it out.
In the mid-20th century, Chinatown’s population surged after the US lifted decades of restrictive immigration policy. Paired with political instability in East Asia and the ending of British control in Hong Kong, there was a big injection of capital into Chinese communities in New York. This new wealth empowered Chinese immigrants to open businesses and to create a long-lasting foothold in the area. Tourists and New Yorkers came to love the centrality of these two neighborhoods. Walking groups and food tours took frequent turns up and down Canal Street, trying food unified in the two culture’s mutual love of pork and noodles. This joy of a neighboring Little Italy and Chinatown was born out of affordable housing, community aid, and the desire to experience authenticity in the bustling heart of the city.
Now, gentrification encroaches on the soul of these neighborhoods. With outside developers, Little Italy already feels like a front to serve mediocre bolognese and repackaged Whole Foods parmesan. If we wanted that, we’d go to Epcot.
In Walt Disney’s original dream for Epcot, he wanted to build a model utopian city, an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.” Sadly, he passed away before his dream could be realized and when they finally returned to Epcot, they ditched the idea of a futuristic city and created the World Showcase. Though it wasn’t Walt Disney’s vision, in some ways, they got it right. A place where cultures exist side by side is utopian. But we don’t need to manufacture that in a Disney World, we can just…have it for real.
The remnants of New York’s Little Italy and Chinatown offer an actual vision for the future, a real Epcot where immigrants can thrive in the hearts of our cities, where you can sample any kind of noodle you want, but without going to Florida and paying a 160 dollar entrance fee. And isn't that what we all want? To avoid Florida at all costs?

A nitpick but he should be using the Taiwan flag instead of the PRC flag. He mentions Hong Kong but the average Hong Konger has more in common with the Taiwanese than a Mainlander.
P.S. Most Chinese Mainlanders you meet in the US or Europe belong to the elite or Upper Middle Class in China.

What kind of third world shithole do you live in it takes two hours to board and an hour to disembark? The main airport I use is the one in Atlanta and it takes about an hour to go through security and it's the busiest airport in the world.
Trains are literally worse than planes in every way, considering they have to stop multiple times between destinations.

The fastest trains in the world barely hit half the cruising speed of an airliner. There's no comparison between the two for long distance travel.

I know Disney World has issues but I'm pretty sure Mickey Mouse won't run up to photobomb me and then threaten me if I refuse to for an un-requested picture.
Plus their Mickeys look pretty official and not flea market mascot-quality.

Though realistically the moment the airplane is in the air it starts winnig. All benefits will have to be in the reduced TSA checks.
That's a good point, multiple stops on the way does change things.
The shithole for air travel I have experienced is the United States, where you must arrive two hours early to allow enough time for you to get your prostate checked before entering the plane.
They do have a niche, not to mention such projects are generally impressive.

That’s really not a fault of air travel itself, though. We could fix this by just abolishing the TSA.
I’m also still confused by what would constitute a distance that’s too far to drive but too close to fly - maybe I’m too carbrained and American, but I don’t start considering a flight to get to a destination until the cost of gas and hotels along the route is more than the plane ticket.

/r/fuckcars user is mad that delivery trucks entered his car-free zone to stock businesses:
They should use cargo bikes instead:
OP clarifies that he's mad that handymen, not just deliverymen, drive vans:
OP wants people to "get permission from the magistrate" in order to drive:
The delivery vans are trying to kill him!:
