Agree with you on every point.

While I was reading your comment it occurred to me that these scooters are meant to lure us away from fossil fuels and personal human-operated vehicles. What I want to know is why our fearless leaders are in lock-step with this? What happens to them after they are elected? And all this is happening so fast…

RIGHT

Americans really really REALLY HATE WALKING/WADDLING.
We are absolutely the most supremely massively morbidly obese human beings that have ever existed. We Americans are existentially lazy. We whine and bitch and moan endlessly about how hard we ‘work’ (sitting in a cubicle for 12 hours a day) but God help us if we have to actually WALK 2 blocks from the bus to get home.

And no, scooters will NOT help the handicapped or disabled get home…What a stupid, made in California idea.

Simple doomer trailers are a challenge running them hills in West Virginia and northern Maine.

We dread the panicky phone calls.

Hilarious. And why not extend this rule to all government employees in our poor sorry state? So unworkable, for there aren’t enough busses in California to handle their numbers. Half the population works for the government.

Shouldn’t they really get behind this plan and Mandate ALL City Employee’s use Mass Transit for their daily commute to their respective workplace?? Make it a Misdemeanor and Fine Any City Employee $500 for not doing so per instance. Let’s see the scooters work!!!

And the older you get, the more you have to keep looking over your shoulder to see who is gaining on you.

They do cost taxpayers’ money, too.

But, it occurs to me also that people using scooters are not likely to be patronizing fine restaurants, gift shops, bookstores, art galleries, or other types of businesses typical of pedestrian-friendly tourist spots. I hope this fad goes away soon.

Bicycles & skateboards are serious forms of transportation, serving well in good weather and during the daytime, but you can’t do a decent amount of shopping with a bike, either.

Thanks for the education.
