Walking with no car with hottest summer on record - Poor and car issues!


This is said to be the hottest summer on record so why are there so many people walking with no cars putting themselves in harms way? No safety net like back in the days where you would get a taxi card for something like 500 rides a year Human services would give out to people that need it! The poor just can't get much out in their car like why buys the gas for the car when you are broke the first week of the month!

New cars are more expensive now. The more technology cars have the more the price is. Used cars are suffering from the housing crises where most people held on top their cars only for the used car market to get flooded with cars with 150,000+ miles on them with people that can't afford to change the timing belt so boom, a correction! Where old cars blow up only leaving the better cars on the street making fresh air with no oil burring smell in town. Like in the 90's when all of a sudden you realized there are no oil spots in the Walmart parking lot and the air was cleaner, those cars from the 70's burned out!

But the poor suffers now with no car in a time like it never before! The oceans are getting warmer so it is now at the point it's hotter even with a lack of a strong El NiƱo! Like how it's said global warming, it's now! And so to walk with no car in such dangers is just putting people in for natural selection and that needs to change! Those people need to not be put in harms way something needs to be done! Raising the minimum wage is a big one along with getting the safety net back to the poor because of the dangers they are in. It will get worse in a world of people walking to work with no car in 112 deg summers tired from the heat when they show up to work if they have the job skills for the job. Changing needs in the job markets for educated workers to people that are broke with no car facing change! It's stupid and needs top be fixed!
