I like it as an alternative to all the ideas about the "future" that are just the status quo drawn out. This is the kind of future I want to think about when it comes to solarpunk. If this isn't the right place for something like this, please let me know.

Thank you for your service
"Rejects"? Oh, you optimist.
Especially because apparently former presidents are not allowed to drive as part of their lifelong security detail. So it's a car he'll never be able to drive.
But I'm still not allowed to touch my cellphone while behind the wheel because the screen is too distracting, right?
Lancia is as good as dead. They only make (made?) one car, and only in the Italian market, and it was a slightly larger Fiat 500. Stellantis is struggling enough with the brands that are still making cars. I'd be shocked if Lancia comes back.
AI, obfuscating structural prejudices and injustices behind yet another smokescreen of technological progress.
They keep trying this shit even though it never works. (Like there's literally no pictures of this actually, totally existent place. But it's a paradise. Trust me.)
If I ever say no to that question, I want you to take a gun and shoot me.
It's kind of funny when you consider that the VW design was a ripoff of the Czech-made Tatra T97.
I was mainly just thinking of how our images of the future are shaped by the present, including our hopes and dreams. Even some solarpunk images I've seen created. So I thought it was a nice contrast to such things--a future that is the unhindered functioning of basic biological functions because we live more in harmony with the world around us. I guess I should have maybe added that to the original post, lol.
