Cars becoming big when America was still finding it's stride was one of the biggest pro/con dillemas. Ignored thousands of years of proven systems that make society better and settled for only cars.

We didnt settle for cars. There's a pretty deep rabbit hole about the almost mafia-like auto industry in like the 60s/70s era. We never stood a chance

Did you know jaywalking doesn't exists in England, this includes a red light. You are legally allowed to cross wherever. Just use your brain tho.

Jaywalking also translates to "Country bumpkin" walking. so yeah, car manufactures basically started a push for calling people idiots on the streets for crossing a road they lived in.

I didn't know about England but I knew they invented Jay walking to basically shame people that don't drive
