Have people completely forgotten about the fucking plague we just had? I'll take my own box to drive around in, please.

Cycling, riding scooters, and walking outdoors are still fine, though. And requiring masks while riding transit was fairly effective. We need much stronger enforcement of masking and not riding with symptoms, though, in future pandemics.

Your personal multi-ton box degrades the environment, globally and on the streets it drives through, even if pollutes less by using electricity.
