    My family of 5 owns 4 cars (I’ve moved out and ride a bike). I’m so sorry families like mine exist lol. They know my feelings on cars and even agree with a lot of what I say because it’s pretty incontrovertible. But in the end they don’t really care. They metaphorically pat me on the back for riding my bike and continue to live their privileged life style that makes life worse for the rest of us.

    Rich people literally don’t give a fuck about anyone else. They donate to charity and feel genuinely sad for unprivileged people but will fight tooth and nail against anything that remotely threatens their way of life.

      Biking has nothing to do with being poor, there are $5000+ bikes and many people who buy them. Go to any EU country, and people of all socioeconomic status bike. Rich, poor, old, young, pregnant etc.
