It literally says "Or people need to give up the idea of taking three tons of metal to work with them every day."
You said:
Funnily enough, NONE of the words in your interpretation of their comment are in the original, not even the articles or connective words (what are even the odds that two sentences of more than 15 words not sharing at least ONE word?). The good-faith interpretation (the one they provided to this comment) would be they were advocating for subsidizing more public transport and increasing the usage of cheaper and smaller personal electric bikes, or cheaper and smaller cars in general.
Instead, you went with 'this person is scolding me for my car', and wrote an ironic comment placing the call to action on companies relocating to public transportation hubs and controlling the fucking weather, before which you would even engage in a conversation - presumably a conversation about 'giving up the idea of taking three tons of metal to work with you every day', but I'll admit I don't know.
Seems to me like you took the comment as a personal attack on your decision to own a car, but I think @Blackmist@feddit.uk would put the call to action on subsidizing public transportation and designing more walk-able and bike-friendly cities.
Nobody can help you if you're afraid of the weather though.
