Electric cars just replace a car with another car. I'm not even convinced we need lots more public transport, at least not long-range public transport.

Around here families of four probably have at least two cars. I didn't realise what 'car-dependency' looked like until I moved out of London. People tell me, "You don't have transport," but I walk, I have a bike, I get the bus or the train.

With a 72% turnout, only 37% of registered voters voted Leave. Should not voting be seen as a vote for the status quo?

Still Europe. Just as Norway, Switzerland, and much of the Balkans are Europe. But not EU.

You can't make people eat it though.

My thoughts also. Totalitarian regimes make people work all the time so they're too burned-out and disorientated to rebel.

Only if it's for two people - 30 hours each!

Depends what you want I suppose. Storygraph doesn't have the 'practically every book ever published' of Goodreads, nor the ability to browse reviews sorted by star rating (AFAICT) but for cataloguing and writing reviews I've gone over to it completely.
