I grew up in northern Minnesota. Fuck whatever your saying. You absolutely can pop to the grocery. It's disingenuous AF to say this place is inhospitable without automobiles. The Anishinaabe have managed it. I managed it. Litteral millons do.
What you meant to say is "surviving in a place like Minnesota requires planning and community" I'm MN born and raised. I haven't owned an automobile for 15years. It's very possible.
And seeing how there's ten billion souls on this planet, rapidly fucking it up, it would behoove us to live with less resource expenditures. Any way you stack it up, from leaded gasoline to the sleekest EV, the personal automobile is a gluttonous, selfish act. We can live without them, your very existence is proof. Ride the bus, snow shoe, ski, walk bus, fuck.
I like how you included fuck with the modes of transportation. Now I'm imagining some sort of tricycle or quadcycle that harnesses thrusting motion to propel you.
Lol I meant it more as punctuation, but never stop dreaming friend!
Time to mount the thrust cycle and get some groceries!
The goonmobile
Something like Mr Garrison's monowheel perhaps?
What he meant to say is he's a little bitch who can't stand the cold but at the same time is too chickenshit to move somewhere else.
You drive a bicycle with a little basket on it
That would be dope. Lille bell too
you need to be born in a cold area to live in the cold, apparently.
No, you need to layer up and let your body acclimate.
