Imagine spending $1,000+ when walking is free.

I can imagine someone with a disability wanting a cart like this to get around, but this woman does not need a fucking golf cart.

We're all going to die because of this overconsumption bullshit.

Does someone having one prevent someone from getting one?

My friends have one because they have a baby and no car. Is their consumption too much for you?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Having one instead of a car isn't overconsumption, but the woman in this article clearly has both. It's a problem.

Imagine spending $1,000+ when walking is free.

This seems exclusive from that.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

It’s quite common here to have one for driving around neighbourhoods, as cheap ones can be $1,000+.

So, where I come from, there's nothing to drive to in the neighborhood except other houses. Also, a neighborhood is at most a square mile. That's all I envisioned.

What, exactly, did you even mean by "neighborhoods"? It's starting to sound like you're talking about driving several miles.

It can be several miles since my friend's one goes for 40km. Your neighbourhood is yours, we have lots of places to go to between neighbourhoods and districts, and lots in each.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Again, I was just envisioning going around the neighborhood, not going all over a town or city.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That is around the neighbourhood as they can be quite large; it can also be 40+ degrees here, which the baby cannot manage. It means they can go to a restaurant, a cafe, get the shopping, go to a place where it's nice to walk, then home again, perhaps a 2-3km little trip within their neighbourhood.
