Comment on New Yorkers can't even identify fucking shapes
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t disagree with you at all.
just wondering if a big chunk of NY delivery/cargo vehicles were electric cargo bikes like that would be an improvement (given that will force turning car lanes into bike lanes).

Theoretically it would be less asthma for children that’s really not nothing.
But the batteries for those ebikes almost certainly come from children in mines.
It all ends up as borrowing from tom to pay peter back when amazon is involved.

Ebikes take much less resources than cars. Complaining about reducing the resources and energy needed for transportation is disingenuous.
You cannot pull a “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to protect the current status quo.

Not abusing a sentience in another country so you can have your funco pops at home is also nothing.
I’d like amazon logistics to be broken up and owned by the communities it inhabitants. But I’d also like that to happen to GM and Ford too. If you catch my drift.

100%
but logistics wise, small electric vehicles, small enough to be considered ebikes is preferable to current car/van/truck fleets. as they have a greater human cost as well.

What about the batteries in the phone you are using? Or the gasoline that’s manufactured using cobalt-based catalysts? Do you care about the children in mines that extracted those?
