Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office.

Freedom is not “being able to drive anywhere.” Freedom is being able to go anywhere with just your own body without a giant metal cage around it.

And let’s not forget: you can’t use the giant metal cage unless you have a plethora of details registered with the government and associated with the cage! And you’re legally required to have a contract with a private company to insure the cage.

Freedom. Bah.

A contract they will try not to honor at every turn at that and if they do for the least amount possible.
