    Do you think Musk is not doing similar things? We have a politician that flew to Sylt (island in Germany) with his private jet for a fucking wedding of another politician and he didnt get half as much shit for it.

    What Im saying is: hate everyone equally or dont hate.

    I don’t like Taylor Swifts behaviour anymore then you. But clearly someone was out for her and not for poor Elon. Where are the fucking memes about literally every rich person? Jeff Bezos disgustingly big yacht for example? And if it really was about her double standards: Elon pretends to be an environmentalist as wenn whenever he talks about Tesla and electric cars. Yet his factories get build in the middle of water protection zones, a Tesla is shot into space and do you really think hes not using those 3 jets on a regular basis? Why have 3 after all?

    Regarding your edit: maybe I’ve wasted my time writing this because clearly you’re not up for an actual discussion, but for sad and petty schoolyard behaviour.

    That sounds horrible. Public transportation is such a vital thing for citys to function properly as a place to live and not just work in. And dont get me started on small towns or the countryside where not owning a car basically means you’re fucked. I cannot wrap my head around how politicians just fail to see this. Climate change might be the most urgent, but by far not the only argument for better public transportation.

    I hate point 2 and 3.

    I have an avarage travel of 45-55 minutes from my home city to the city I work in. By car and by train, while the train is usually on the slower end. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get from my home to the train station by taking the bus or riding the bike. When taking the bus I also have to factor in about 15 minutes between arrival at the station and departure of the train. Then there is another 20 minutes from the train station at destination to my place of work. So it takes me 40-65 minutes longer taking the train… twice a day, making it 1:20-2:10h a day (when Im lucky bc trains over here have frequent delays). One hour ish doesn’t sound like much? Well you’ll feel it if you working 11-12h a shift or a 9-10 hour a day in a normal 9 to 5 job (starting work at around 7 a.m.).

    Then there is a neat little think called night or late shifts. There is no way I’m gonna take the train here. They either take an hour longer or the bus at my home city does not drive anymore on the way back.

    Demand better public transportation. Demand functioning trains and frequent bus and tram connections. But do not tell people that need to take the car for whatever reason, that they should just take the worse option and make them feel like the problem.

    I hate cars. I hate driving. And I love taking the train or taking the bike within my city. But sometimes I just have to take the car. That is not my fault tho, since public transportation is not the main focus of politics over here. And thats what needs to change globally.
