Does it matter? We are facing a climate catastrophe because of carbon emissions. Cars or no cars we need to stop.

Does it matter?

Yeah. If people can't buy or use EVs. What's the point?

The point is our planet is on a trajectory to not support human life. I would rather walk somewhere or bike than continue supporting the oil and gas industry. The stone age (which is usually people retort to this reply) is better than no humans at all.

People don't need to be able to buy cars. The vast majority can't anyways. So why should the second richest percent of Ethiopia be able to.
