2.9 miles isn't even far. You could just walk.

Yep, have walked such distances semi regularly

Not if where you live is a car-centric hellhole with uneven, badly kept or sometimes even nonexistent sidewalks, and where cars are eager to run you over at every intersection because they have a "Why are you walking? You must be a poor so fuck you." Mentality

I live in Houston. Probably the least pedestrian friendly city on earth. I would still walk over paying that.

Some popular neoclassical economic models rely on the "No-Ponzi-Scheme" condition being true. Essentially meaning that Capital can't become negative because there are no ponzi schemes which affect the economy.

This seems like that assumption is just one of the wrong ones.
