Cars kill thousands of people a year....in a country of 330 MILLION people? Sorry but the sheer convenience of automobiles greatly outweighs the cost.

This trend to “ban cars” is one of the silliest and dumbest ideas I’ve ever seen. Just because you don’t like cars doesn’t mean they aren’t often the best option for many people. Banning them and pretending they don’t exist doesn’t change that fact.

They kill 40,000 people every single year in the USA, and injure or disable over 2 million more. And that is not including death from the pollution the cause. And this is just one reason they are the worst invention created by man.
