Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress. Those mechanic shops can transition to working on trains, bikes, EVs, etc. We can do both.
IMO, I can't see how making progress on car maintainability would be easier than on car dependency.
One depends on local politics, the other on national (or maybe even national to a foreign nation) politics or somehow convincing a global oligopolist to lose a bit of money to help your cause.
But if you want to work on it, good luck and all the power to you. Don't stop just because another problem exists.
Oh, I'm not trying to say either are going to be easy, but they both have their individual benefits and there's some overlap. Having more community-based knowledge of internal combustion engines could still help people switch to motorcycles as a start.
You also never know when someone will make a connection that's never been thought of before, and completely change how we think about transportation, and the more knowledge in more people's hands, the better.
Just trying to say it's a "Yes, and" situation.
