The solution is to accept a cut in what people think of as “quality of life” but is really just a bunch of wasteful addictions. Myself and half a million other people in my province are living on little more than 13k a year. This is the level of disability allowance here. It also happens to be approximately the world’s median income level.
The world isn’t built for us, but we still manage to survive somehow. (Mostly.) Car culture doesn’t come alone, it comes with unforgivable excesses of conspicuous consumption and materialism. Eventually you won’t be able to afford it anymore, and you’ll have to live like the rest of the world. Get ahead of it and you’ll be better off in the long run.

I understand and can appreciate that kind of tactic, but it’s fucking infuriating that we have to be the ones to suffer a more miserable life when we can’t even slightly reduce not even the quality of life, but simply the massive wealth of the richest people…
Their towers get ever higher, and I have to share a garage “apartment” with 3 other people…
