This week, though, I've been driving myself in my wife's car and I've noticed: like me, most people are 1 to a car, people drive aggressively and with little to no regard for others (especially cyclists), parking is expensive, gas costs a fortune, I get to work shaken and spend the day irritable.

Bike is at the shop today. I'm going to see if they can expedite. Driving is crazy!

Like driving by the book is genuinely not that hard, but man does it seem like some folks feel a mix of entitlement and maybe displaced anger that comes out behind the wheel that can ruin a day.

It's amazing so many people would choose to drive regularly. It's a kind of brain rot that normalized being miserable.

We somehow convinced people to buy cheaper and bigger houses further and further from work and get a nice big car and be miserable for two hours everyday getting there and back and they went for it
