This is capitalism. First they monopolize our infrastructure to force us into dependency, then jack up the cost of their created need, driving out and demonizing all alternatives. Not naturally but through power, influence, and countless billions in lobbies.

It’s Just Crazy’: High Car Payments Make Ownership Feel Impossible

Rising vehicle prices, auto loan interest rates, and insurance and maintenance costs are making it harder for people to buy or keep cars.

If car ownership feels impossible, now consider that getting around the city by any means feels impossible. If you're in a car you're stuck in traffic, if you're on a bus you're stuck in traffic, if you're on a bike you're stuck in traffic, and if you're on foot you're not allowed to walk anywhere.

Somehow people have been convinced that the only way to get around all this car traffic is to induce more car traffic, and further demonize other means of transportation and their users. This complete disassociation from reason and logic doesn't come naturally, it was paid for by the auto industry.
