Does anyone think there's a serious policy proposal to just...ban cars. Like, "starting May 1st, there will be no cars. Authorities will be collecting your car, and it will be crushed and melted down to make bikes. If you live in the middle of nowhere...well I guess you'll have to eat pinecones or something."

Yeah, I'm all for that. And it's easy. Just revoke all licences. Then have the cops ticket anyone who drives without a licence. You'll make a million dollars on the first day of the legislation.

Obviously, put in exceptions for emergency services vehicles. Put a delay in the legislation so there are 5 years for people to adapt. Make the delay 10 years for delivery trucks.

People lived on farms 200 years ago. They walked to town or rode a horse. They can do that again.
