Of course they do. The whole idea of these external costs are that you don't feel them yourself. Driving your car everywhere and having massive parking lots and highways connecting them feels great, your feeling is reinforced by 80 years of advertising and media that this is supposed to feel great, while hiding the fact that you are scarring the earth in the process for this lifestyle to be possible for you.

You never see what was underneath the highway before it was laid, what used to be where that parking lot is, where the metals came from that were used to produce your car, what oil field your gas came from that day, and how all of these pieces parts from around the world were moved to that spot in front of you in rural Oklahoma. It's all hidden from view by design, but that doesn't mean it isn't there, causing collective damage under the guise of a false idea of personal freedom.

Yeah, so, this has nothing to do with the story we're discussing.
