As a counter to the "what's the point because things will never change" crowd, having current mayors in different cities so clearly challenge the premise that cars are good and necessary for full enfranchisement in society is not a thing that would have happened just a few short years ago.

10/ One thing we can do as nations, communities and as families is to gradually build stockpiles during times of plenty to act as buffers in the case of a supply shock. As @georgemonbiot.bsky.social argues... "Building a reserve while food is abundant reduces demand in a crisis."
