I'll look into that one too, I didn't know about it

Which bullshit are you talking about? I might have missed it and my search didn't bring much on it

We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service

See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

At least where I'm from, some stores offer discount for cash greater than the cashback. I always ask :)

As much skepticism as it might have, if you can't use cash for a transaction, crypto is another viable alternative which can be decentralized, trustless and private preserving, as long as you don't fall for VC scams like Solana, Avalanche, Sui, etc

As always, DYOR

Sometimes it's not even direct violence, redlining is sufficient to keep you stuck where they want you to be

Oh, I agree that mass transit wouldn't really work in areas that aren't as dense, but we should definitely have those where possible. I didn't mean to say we don't need good car options, but we should also have more options besides just cars

Now regarding bikes and winter, I'd say that's more of an infrastructure problem. Finland also has terrible winter, yet they can bike as usual. You should watch this video if you are interested in this theme: "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)"

I have a better alternative: invest in viable alternatives to driving! expand protected bike lanes, build the damn high speed rail, more trains, trams and bus lines. One more asphalt lane for cars wont solve traffic problems :)

Hopefully Deep Funding becomes popular enough that it no longer becomes a problem
