 @BigTony @804e5d83 so will the country just shut down? Cars aren’t optional, we didn’t build non-car infrastructure and we can’t now due to incompetence. 
 @Spooky Griffith @804e5d83 I think they will try to tax people out of private car ownership. trucks, snow plows, and other utility vehicles will stay around, and people will have cars, but the amount will be significantly lower. Im not saying that it would necessarily work, but i think that it's something that will be pushed im the near future 
 they want to concentrate people into megacities with total control over every single worker drone 
 @701d41fb @BigTony @804e5d83 they can barely manage the cities as is and people are leaving even the richest ones. 
 they literally say so in their internal papers for population control, theyre planning on building megacities
this is why they e.g. use 'environmental regulations' to disown farmers in belgium of their land 
 @701d41fb @BigTony @804e5d83 It doesn’t matter what they say if they can’t do it. They’re building a megacity in MA and people are leaving the state. New York has been losing people for years and rents keep going up. This isn’t “long term planning” or a system of control. It’s failure. 
 i just L O V E the hustle and bustle of the big city

 @BigTony @804e5d83 it’s infeasible, because those people have to *go* somewhere. American public transport is shit, if people who used to own cars pile into there, it’ll break. If people who used to drive long distances fly or use trains, those’ll break. If they don’t go, the economy will take a hit. Rural people will keep buying shitboxes and battered trucks, but if that infrastructure breaks down, what will they go to? Horses? Will we all crowd around a handful of EV stations powering EV buses that take an hour to get us to our McDonald’s job? The country can’t function like this. 
 @Spooky Griffith those people are just fucked the people in the government dont care about them 
 @BigTony they’re needed for stuff though. America can’t work without agriculture and resource extraction. Those are two of our last productive sectors lol. A lot of manufacturing is rural too. 
 so u be sayin.. :kek_worried: 
 @Nigbot @BigTony rural niggas make stuff and US is fucked without the rural economy. 
 @Spooky Griffith @BigTony my niggas finna put us back in chains! 
 @Nigbot @BigTony GET PICKIN'! 
 @Spooky Griffith @BigTony HEYULL YEAH I'LL COP TO DEM MUTHAFUCKIH CRACKUHS DICKIN MY GREAT GRANDADDY ASS ON DOWN NEAR THE BUCKSHED IF THAT MEANS THIS HERE NIGGA GAWN GET HIS DRIP ON FOH DAT FREE MONEY, FUCK A NIGGA PRINCIPLE N SHEEIT I AIN'T PROUD, FUCK A NIGGA GAWN GET HIS DRIP ON FOH DAT FREE MONEY, FUCK A NIGGA PRINCIPLE N SHEEIT I AIN'T PROUD, WE NIGGAS MAN I JUST WANNA BE ROLLIN IN DAT ROYCE NIGGA :smiley_blootshot: 
 @Spooky Griffith @BigTony You keep forgetting they're not banning cars, just new cars. Actually the price of old tractors and things are seriously inflated because literally no one can repair the new ones because of all of the software and bullshit in them — no one even wants the new stuff because it's crap 
 @6e030f75 @BigTony Presents the same issues from the systems point of view. More people crowding around a smaller pool of vehicles means people have to turn to methods of transportation that are crap and can't take the additional load. 
 @Spooky Griffith i agree. I don't think this plan will work, but i think it will be attempted. The people that run this country are really dumb 
 @BigTony Then we're in trouble Брат 
 @BigTony @804e5d83 I think it’s the terminal decline of the country.
