  So what is your magic answer for emergency services in a zero car world?

  Oh… look - the person that can’t argue without resorting to hysterical hyperbole is mysteriously resorting to yet more hysterical hyperbole.

  Who woulda thunk it?

  What are you trying to do - win the prestigious “Right-wing Shill Of The Year” award?

  Can you show me one person that has ever advocated for this (alleged) “zero-car” world?

    So you’re saying we do need cars and a road network?

      So I guess that’s a yes on the“Right-wing Shill Of The Year” award thing, huh?

        I’d wager I’ve been an active member of more leftwing movements than you, certainly since you seem to be in the very naive mindset of ‘anyone who disagrees with me must be a right wing monster’

        But I’ll accept that as a ‘yes we still need roads and you were right about the integrated transport network thing and first/last mile and the many areas where trains don’t make sense economically or ecologically’

        I think it’s Mao in Contradictions that talks about how in the search for a better world you can’t afford to hold resentment against tools simply because they were once in your enemies hands, or maybe it was Deng, but the point is if cars can help us in the structure of a better society we shouldn’t reject them just because they can also be useful in a bad society.

        Certainly we shouldn’t resist improving them simply out of some emotive grudge.
