The fact that the man who murdered a CEO is plastered across news media with unlimited resources dedicated to his capture, despite in the meantime over 100 people have been murdered in the US since that shooting should tell you that yes, rich people are considered more valuable than you.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.

Cartoon about regional travel demand and the unreasonable expectations of suburban drivers

REMINDER: Those choosing to live in subsidized suburbs for a bigger house and yard are NOT also entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity (aka an “easy car commute”) into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety (hint: bike-lanes) & quality of life of city-dwellers.
