No thanks, I’d rather just skip to banning cars

and what alternative to cars (other than ATVs and private planes) can work outside of citys?

Trains, they can be called upon and carry larger machinery than trucks

It’s inside cities that those are inefficient

Someone will counter with “but the US is really a big place …” and you’ll have a completely counterproductive argument.

Or you could focus on better alternatives to cars. When that works, focus on better alternatives to more car uses. When that works, focus on whatever people keep using cars the most for
