If you value the transportation mode "stuck in car traffic" so high, then sure.

I've never experienced this stuck in traffic for long periods you seem to assume everyone deals with.

Unless you are in a HUGE city like Los Angeles or maybe Houston....you generally do not deal with this....at least not across the whole US.

Reducing car dependency however helps with many urban qualities, including preserving green spaces, ability of kids or the elderly to get around on their own

Well, this ONLY applies to if you want to live in a densely packed urban setting.

Many folks, self included decidedly do NOTwant to leave in an urban setting.

I hope I never again have to share walls with neighbors like I did as a college student and young adult living in apartments.

I like stand alone houses....PLENTY of green space, indlucing a nice bit I have fenced in for my own private use for BBQ's, parties with friends and neighbors....etc.

I rarely if even encounter congestions....oh the roads get a bit packed during Mardi Gras with so many parade routes blocking some traffic, etc...but aside from times with major festivals going on around the New Orleans area....or any other cities I've lived in...the endless traffic and congestion is simply not something most of us encounter in the US.

Wow..one of he first bills I would think most EVERY American could get behind.....

Let's keep the jobs here friends..eh?

I for one would be thrilled to hear a customer service phone call answered without an accent so thick I need my iPhone translate listening on the other line to let me know what the fuck is being said on the other end...

Gas prices should include cost of climate change and of war in Ukraine.

Why?

Assuming this is about people living in rented apartments. If it comes with an underground parking lot, it should be possible to install a wallbox

You know...I don't think I've ever SEEN an underground parking lot....

Most apartment complexes I've seen are just apartment buildings surrounded by large parking lots, almost never assigned spaces so first come first serve.

But a lot of people rent houses and the landlords usually don't want tenants to be modifying the properties to add chargers and well, why would a tenant want to pay for that and leave it when they move?

Also, depending on the city, not everyone even HAS offstreet parking....

Why doesn't the office parking lot have charging points?

Because that would be a large $$ expenditure to retro fit parking lots....where most of them would go unused, because there simply aren't THAT many people driving EVs here...at least no across most of the nation aside from say the west coast...

I very rarely see any EVs at all in the New Orleans area for instance...

For the sake of maintaining the fun, put in a small exception for tiny production runs of sub 1000 cars or something for manufacturers to create something for enthusiasts and hobbyists.

So, a carve out for motorcycles?

I mean...to date, even if you want one...the tech just is NOT there....range sucks, refueling times suck....they do have great torque acceleration, but no fun to take for a road trip of more than a few miles...

*shudder*

I can't imagine how little fun an electric "motorcycle" would be....even with MP3 engine sounds from speakers....

No thank you...I"ll continue to enjoy my ICE powered Indian Chief Bobber.....too much fun.

Have you missed the estimated 2000 dead from the latest South Europe heat wave? Or the increased intensity of both drought and flooding? Or the fires in California, Australia ... ? Of course the whole world is not literally on fire (if that's how it was interpreted), but climate change is already here, and have already consequences to society. Mostly as predicted by meteorologists / climate science / geologists.

Yep, because for all of my 50++ years on earth, I never before have seen: Hurricanes, Wild Fires, Floods, Cold/Heat Waves across the US and the world.

The sky truly is falling....just because I liked driving to the stores to get various sales on different foods each week, or a big Costco run that would never make it home via bicycle....whew.

By the time there is "real urgency", it will be far too late and a total ecological collapse will be unavoidable. How can you be so shortsighted despite all the warnings?

Geez...you're going to give yourself a stroke....you sounds like chicken little with all the "sky is falling" diatribe.

Maybe switch to de-caf?

The world isn't that bad and it isn't going to blow up tomorrow.....relax and enjoy life a little.

This all sounds like much more of a pain in the ass for my life and lifestyle....especially in the US which is way different than Europe.....

Being forced to do this by our politicians over here will get the kicked out of office pretty quickly.

How will this benefit the share holders of our trillion dollar corporations?

I have a paid account at Vimeo that I use to privately share videos for clients. They are known for their high quality / high bitrate streams and tools for business users. I imagine now the price will get jacked up and then the service ultimately shut down when everyone abandons ship after they've looted what they can out of it.

And my guess is that some legal US residents may fill whatever jobs the undocumented deportees had to abandon. But I doubt there'll be a rush, because many of those jobs pay poorly and US residents don't want them.

Well, that's the thing....my example of construction work.

This used to be a good wage for a LOT of US citizens 2-3 decades ago.....and the wages went to hell when all the illegals came in and drove down the wages.

If there are only US workers...the wages will have to go up and maybe we can have good employment again for people that want to work in those sectors.

We could pay off the national debt in a few decades if we...

Who is this we that you speak of??

I mean, you're not American and don't even live here....so, please drop the "we" you keep using.

That being said, I wonder how much of these numbers for jobs are being affected by the growingly successful purging of workers that are in the US illegally....?

I wonder if over a period of time as actual US citizens start taking back jobs, say like in construction...if this will start to balance things out a bit....?

I didn't know Jaguar was even still in business at this time....

I kinda figured that weird, woke commercial with all the colors, alien outfits and hairdos had pretty much done them in as a business....?
