Beiträge, die mit trucks getaggt sind


Recommended. I'm entranced by this creative, insightful, obvious, at the same time daring because obvious, essay about vehicles in USA. The industry is our economic strength and weakness--Kunce explores well "suckers for cars." We value our EV and hybrid carriages as we age, if regretting the removal of neighborhood trolleys, buses. Still, myths and illusions of car/truck culture persist despite impacts on health, planet.

#Aid #trucks in #Gaza are being looted. On the breakdown of civil order, bombed about, and overseen, by the army of #Israel:

»Sources working in Gaza say the armed attacks take place just a few hundred meters away from Israeli troops. Some aid groups say attacked truck drivers have even sought help from the IDF, but the army has refused to intervene. Moreover, they say, the army bars them from taking alternate roads that are considered safer. […]

Around a kilometer from Kerem Shalom, shortly before the eastern neighborhoods of #Rafah, there's an area that the army calls "the #looting zone." This is where most of the looting of aid trucks takes place. Yet the area is under full control of the #IDF, with troops stationed just hundreds of meters, and sometimes less, from the roadblocks the armed men erect on the road.«

“The city is poised to require owners of vehicles weighing over 6000 pounds to pay an annual $500 vehicle registration fee, almost 7X the cost to register a modest sedan. No other US jurisdiction has created such a forceful financial disincentive against the biggest, heaviest car models.” Via @davidzipper
