@npub1sg4…xslc I have a faint feeling that the flow of useplaintext.email is rather topsy-turvy. Section 4, the one making the case for why plaintext is Good Actually, should go first! Maybe followed by etiquette, followed by all the e-mail client busywork.

@npub1x4g…sete This is why I ride on the centre of the lane, always. What are they going to do, deliberately kill me?

I'm going to try _a thing_. There are two related phenomena regarding #cars and #PublicTransport that I basically never see discussed. I wrote an article about these two things which includes two very clear definitions. I want to see if I can get some reach to disseminate these two things like a mind virus.
Boost if you like. Or don't. I'm not your boss.
The premise: when you own a #car, it is cheaper to drive the car. But: we want to get people out of their cars, even while they still own cars.
The definitions:
- Sunk cost discount: for as long as you own a car, it is cheaper relative to public transport to use that car for individual journeys, even though you would save money if you got rid of the car and exclusively used public transport.
- Trip cost scaling problem: for each additional passenger taking a journey together, the cost per passenger becomes lower when travelling by car, but higher when travelling by public transport.
