Supposedly this country is about the freedom of choice. Supposedly. But. Most ppl only have the freedom to choose which car they buy, and not the freedom to choose not to buy a car.
For most people in N America, it’s not a preference or a choice to drive; it’s a given; it’s a fact of life. Why? Why aren’t we allowed to choose not to drive? Most people grow up thinking there’s no other way, and many of us are forced against our will to drive and be drivers.
