I don’t drive a car, so where’s my money for saving the planet? Where are my rebates for shoes and bikes?
Subsidizing the car industry is indeed dumb. I don’t think it’s hurting the economy though, as the goal is to continue to sell and replace millions of cars. Still, the infrastructure for cars is probably costing us much more on the long term though. Maintenance of expressways, space for parkings, and other infra for cars costs billions.
Just replacing a single expressway interchange in my city cost 4.3 billion! For ONE interchange.
So again, where are the rebates for people taking public transit? Where are the investments in public transit? Why is it only on the condition of BUYING A CAR?
