Agree with your point, but cars are far worse…

    False dichotomy. We can invest in public transit or even public bike/scooter rentals without allowing free reign for a private company to make profits. So we can all say "fuck cars" while simultaneously criticizing this e-waste as well.

    Agreed that cars are worse. If they were used primarily in bike lanes or on roads, I might believe they're displacing cars. As it is, they're primarily operated on sidewalks, effectively displacing pedestrian traffic and public transportation.

    They're still displacing cars though? Most times I've used one, the alternative would have been taking my car, or a ride hailing app. I'm not taking one instead of a leisurely stroll, I'm taking one to get somewhere in a reasonable amount of time. Which walking was never going to accomplish.
