 You can call your proposal 'free cake for everyone' but if it threatens powerful groups you'll get painted as a sinister plot anyway. 
 @b870d4c8 free cake? what is this, a sinister plot to fatten up the population? and 'everyone'? sounds like commie propaganda! /s 
 @fe72bbed it's the road to serfdom 
 @b870d4c8 true but in the case of the 15 minute city I fail to see how it "threatens powerful groups". Maybe I am missing some analysis. I feel it is more a way for conservatives to round up their base against something because otherwise they have nothing to offer and nothing left to go against that can gather sufficient support and not divide them internally. 
 @9f5ab421 it's seen as a constraint on car culture and fossil fuels.
