Montage of Dutch bike infrastructure
IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

That's a ridiculous looking car, there is no need for something that obscenely large to move a few people from A to B

If you're in Scotland & a member of the Labour party, you would get a vote on their Scottish leader and UK leader, as "Scottish Labour", is just a notional group within the wider party. Whereas the "Scottish Green Party" is entirely separate from the "Green Party" (Green Party of England & Wales)

Indeed, but technically don't think I'm wrong

A screenshot of an article from the Scottish Green Party website. The headline reads "Trans Rights: Supreme Court Ruling Deeply Concerning for Human Rights". Beneath is an image of a trans pride flag blowing in the sun.
Sending love and solidarity to trans people everywhere.
We will always fight to protect human rights, dignity and respect for all people. We stand with the trans community today, tomorrow and always.

They are the Scottish Government, and the UK Supreme Court.
Could equally go with "UK court overturns Scottish Government decision, despite electoral mandate"

Fight hatred and support those being attacked. Never forget who bank rolled the other side. Support minority voices against the powerful.

A graphic filled with statistics showing the inefficiency of cars
A typical European car spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people, and it’s been getting bigger & heavier. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does is needed to move the car itself, not the people in it.
Sound efficient?

Sad, and shocking, you're feeling the need to say this, but great that you've come out swinging saying something

So you're telling me we didn't just get on fine without modern medicine, that is to say vaccines and the like, I'm shocked
(explicitly want to state that I'm being sarcastic and think that medical advancement and access to healthcare is a good thing)
