>>1347464>>1347471this. i have a right not to be murdered just trying to get to work. if your transportation system cannot get people around without significant risk of death, it is not a good system, period. cage dependence is absolutely absurd. if people were to look at the risks involved objectively there would be riots in the streets to have them removed from prominence. cages are a sometimes vehicle, not an everyday commute solution. it's the exact same as eating candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, except instead of obesity and cavities you get mutilations, crippling, and widespread randomized death. along with absurd chinese-factory levels of pollution and smog, waterway defilement, light/sound pollution, community destruction, uglification, the slaughter of wildlife including endangered species, extreme increase in tax burden, a constant resource drain, marginalization of elderly children/teens women and the disabled, etc.
cage dependence is an atrocity. everyone talks about banning guns to save children, meanwhile cages kill 10,000x more kids than guns do and no one says a word. if we had walkable communities interconnected by rail systems, these children would not be orphans and would not have life threatening injuries. explain to them why you think their suffering is a small price to pay for you to not need to take a train.
