People who regularly eat fish or take fish oil supplements are getting omega-3 fatty acids, which play a critical role in brain function. Research has long shown a basis in the brain for aggressive and violent behavior, and that poor nutrition is a risk factor for behavior problems.
Penn neurocriminologist Adrian Raine has for years been studying whether omega-3 supplementation could therefore reduce aggressive behavior, publishing five randomized controlled trials from different countries.

He found significant effects but wanted to know whether these findings extended beyond his laboratory.
Now, Raine has found further evidence for the efficacy of omega-3 supplementation by conducting a meta-analysis of 29 randomized controlled trials. It shows modest short-term effects—he estimates this intervention translates to a 30% reduction in aggression—across age, gender, diagnosis, treatment duration, and dosage.
Raine is the lead author of a new paper published in the journal Aggressive and Violent Behavior, with Lia Brodrick of the Perelman School of Medicine.
“I think the time has come to implement omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression, irrespective of whether the setting is the community, the clinic, or the criminal justice system,” Raine says.
“Omega-3 is not a magic bullet that is going to completely solve the problem of violence in society. But can it help? Based on these findings, we firmly believe it can, and we should start to act on the new knowledge we have.”
He notes that omega-3 also has benefits for treating heart disease and hypertension, and it is inexpensive and safe to use.
“At the very least, parents seeking treatment for an aggressive child should know that in addition to any other treatment that their child receives, an extra portion or two of fish each week could also help,” Raine says.
This meta-analysis shows that omega-3 reduced both reactive aggression, which is behavior in response to a provocation, and proactive aggression, which is planned.
The study included 35 independent samples from 29 studies conducted in 19 independent laboratories from 1996 to 2024 with 3,918 participants. It found statistically significant effects whether averaging effect sizes by study, independent sample, or by laboratory.
Only one of the 19 labs followed up with participations after supplementation ended, so the analysis focused on changes in aggression from beginning to end of treatment for experimental and control groups, a period averaging 16 weeks.
While there is value in knowing whether omega-3 reduces aggression in the short-term,” the paper states, “the next step will be to evaluate whether omega-3 can reduce aggression in the long-term.”
The paper notes several other possible avenues for future research, such as determining whether brain imaging shows that omega-3 supplementation enhances prefrontal functioning, whether genetic variation impacts the outcome of omega-3 treatment, and whether self-reported measures of aggression provide stronger evidence for efficacy than observer reports.
“At the very least, we would argue that omega-3 supplementation should be considered as an adjunct to other interventions, whether they be psychological (e.g. CBT) or pharmacological (e.g. risperidone) in nature, and that caregivers are informed of the potential benefits of omega-3 supplementation,” the authors write.
They conclude, “We believe the time has come both to execute omega-3 supplementation in practice and also to continue scientifically investigating its longer-term efficacy.”

Abstract
Omega-3 supplementation reduces aggressive behavior: A meta-analytic review of randomized controlled trials
There is increasing interest in the use of omega-3 supplements to reduce aggressive behavior.
This meta-analysis summarizes findings from 29 RCTs (randomized controlled trials) on omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression, yielding 35 independent samples with a total of 3918 participants.
Three analyses were conducted where the unit of analysis was independent samples, independent studies, and independent laboratories. Significant effect sizes were observed for all three analyses (g = 0.16, 0.20, 0.28 respectively), averaging 0.22, in the direction of omega-3 supplementation reducing aggression.
There was no evidence of publication bias, and sensitivity analyses confirmed findings. Moderator analyses were largely non-significant, indicating that beneficial effects are obtained across age, gender, recruitment sample, diagnoses, treatment duration, and dosage.
Omega-3 also reduced both reactive and proactive forms of aggression, particularly with respect to self-reports (g = 0.27 and 0.20 respectively).
It is concluded that there is now sufficient evidence to begin to implement omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression in children and adults – irrespective of whether the setting is the community, the clinic, or the criminal justice system.

We (35f, 42m, 10m) just got back from Tanque Verde Ranch Resort, a historic homestead ranch that dates back to the 1800s, but has been updated and renovated into a proper dude ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Also the set of Hey, Dude! if anyone else was a nickelodeon kid!
I recently joined the sub and have been loving all the advice and wanted to try to contribute. I’ve seen Tanque Verde mentioned a couple times and figured it might save someone else the trip!
Location
It’s located in Tanque Verde about a 40min drive or 50 min shuttle (they provide for $60/pp) from the Tucson airport, and about 45 min from downtown Tucson.
Property

• About 70rooms/casitas spread across the property. Some of the rooms are newer, and some have living rooms/fireplaces. None have tvs, which I liked. We stayed in 21 which had an incredible view of the property and mountains in the distance. It also had a sitting room of two couches (I think they pulled out) a desk, large fireplace, and two queens in the bedroom. All in fine not too kitschy southwestern decor. I would rate the rooms as slim (not chubby and most certainly not fat!) but not priced accordingly.
• They have an indoor pool and hot tub as well as outdoor with waterfall feature that are open 24/7
• the property is VERY family friendly, with a kids club that runs everyday from 7-3, activities across the property (think: archery, BB gun, fishing, nature center, horseback riding lessons, horsemanship, etc)
• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner you have the option to eat from the very good buffet with plenty of hot options, changed daily, or the option of ordering a la carte. The food is very decent in a stick to your bones, hearty cowboy fare kind of way.
• Service from the staff was very average - with minimal handholding and actually a kind of brusqueness that made us feel like we were in the way, although my husband fared better than me with receiving courtesies (he’s also Caucasian which may play into that).

What’s the stand-out feature

• The lure of Tanque Verde is the horses. They are a working horse ranch of over 100 horses (they lease more in the spring/fall/winter during their busy season so they are able to accommodate more riders)
• They provide horsemanship lessons as well as walking trail rides, a fun breakfast ride (you can do with the kids), and walking sunset rides. They also provide an opportunity for more advanced riders to take a “lope test” where they examine your seated trot, and your ability to sit a lope with a relaxed rein in order to participate in one of their one hour lope rides (groups of 8-9 people lead by one wrangler with 3-4 opportunities to lope in a line behind the wrangler for about 60 second intervals).

Who is this for?
-If you want the “cowboy experience” but haven’t had a lot of tangible experience with horses before this is a great entry-way - if you have children or teens, there’s a fantastic program for the kids which teaches them about the horses as well as the desert wildlife and allows them the opportunity to make friends - if you love desert vistas, the property abuts Saguaro National Park and Catalina State Park - nature lovers - we saw a baby coyote on one of our rides, as well as a doe passively watching us from the shade under a tree. there are also bats, lizards, hummingbirds, javelinas, and all sorts of critters in and outside of the nature center on property.
Who is this not for?

• If you are an experienced equestrian or advanced rider who enjoys freedom or autonomy when it comes to riding

Added photos for good measure!
Happy to answer questions.
And as an avid rider and horse-y person very open to suggestions on better places to go! I have been riding internationally (Morocco, Turkey, Namibia, Ireland, France, england, Argentina, Mexico) and loving it but would love some places to have really fun, fast rides a little closer to home (USA).

Bem, pra começar em vez de eu estar dormindo para acordar as 06:00 da manhã e ir pra a escolinha com meus 15 aninhos descidi escrever isso. Então, espero que seja minimamente significante na vida de vocês, ou não né...
Cara, vocês ja notaram como há muito tempo temos o questionamento do 'ser'. De onde viemos, o que somos e para que servimos?
Isso é algo que assombra desde o início da humanidade mas também sempre foi um questionamento muito abusado pela astucia e egoismo humano - em busca de uma hierarquia. Como por exemplo os mesopotanicos que utilizavam da religião para que os camponeses aceitassem sua situação deplorável (inclusive na propia religião os humanos foram criados para servir os Deus, esse era seu propósito, colher e doar para os templos que eram administrados pelos Reis e sacerdotisas)
Mas esse é apenas um exemplo.
A religião hoje é muito questionada ao redor no mundo, e até em países como o Brasil que apesar de manter a maior população de católicos ainda tem vários ateus espalhados por aí.
Em fim, meu post não é sobre a religião em específico, mas sim o seu intuito. Provavelmente a maioria de vocês (exceto os fãs de Dostoiévski- ok, brincadeira, concordo com ele em algumas coisas como a crítica ao racionalismo, mas esse é outro assunto...), provavelmente a maioria concorda que a religião foi criada com o único propósito de utilizar do existencialismo humano para criar trabalhadores fiéis, não há você, mas a algo maior.
Então eu te pergunto, para um homem, existe algo maior que seu ego?
Desde a guerra fria houve grande semeamento de ideias em todo mundo, independente de que lado você apoie ou não deve concordar que após a segunda Guerra houve uma necessidade de alienação - a rejunção das pessoas, e desta vez a religião não iria ser de grande ajuda por causa de vertentes políticas que algumas escolheram.
A objetificação humana existia muito antes do capitalismo, quero dar um ênfase nisso.
Karl Marx considera o trabalho uma parte do ser humano e de seu processo e crítica o capitalismo por rotular a importância do trabalho feito e pagar o 'trabalhador' incentivando apenas o propio capitalista apartir disso e encobre sua 'exploração'. E aí que acontece o começo da minha crítica.
Perceberam que desde a segunda revolução industrial as pessoas começaram a tentar 'encobrir' a objetificação humana? E isso ocorreu em todas as vertentes.
Tanto para pessoas de pele escura, gênero feminino, e até mesmo pessoas com pouco poder monetário.
E tentar encobrir isso é um problema - não porque a gente deveria falar como antigamente 'ah! Eu vendo esse cara por 30 reais como escravo!'. É um problema porque isso começou a sementear ideias em nossa mente, a necessidade de estar 'atualizado', como um objeto.
Mas isso, é claro, não é de hoje em dia.
Por exemplo, a beleza. Para os gregos o que é bonito é o objeto: 'A casa bonita, a estátua bonita, o céu bonito'. A propia beleza é um reflexo de como somos vistos como produtos para o comércio - e por que comércio? Porque serão sempre as pessoas de classe alta, com maior poder monetário, que poderão usufruir da propia ideia de 'produto perfeito'.
As pessoas buscam precisam de disciplina, CAÇAM ela de maneira antinatural. Porque o humano é visto como um objeto, e se esse objeto não segue as normas ele é considerado falho - e o que fazem com um objeto falho? O descartam.
E mais uma vez para quem tá pensando que isso é uma crítica ao capitalismo, não totalmente: é mais uma crítica a como a sociedade humana sempre foi estruturada ignorando a propia humanidade
A vida humana querendo ou não é uma moeda, a mais valiosa possível. Ela vale votos, opiniões, futuro, inovação... e é por isso que é tratada como uma moeda.
É como uma reflexão do nosso propio cérebro na conexão de informações. Por exemplo, agora em um ponto de vista mais behavorista, quando precisamos investigar algo conectamos as informações mais prováveis apartir de uma lógica rasa. Por exemplo: Uma pessoa foi assasindada. Na área do crime tem o fio da garota loira. Só tem uma garota loira. Logo, foi a garota loira. Estamos tentando processar tanta informação ao mesmo tempo - fazer tantas coisas ao mesmo tempo no nosso corpo que o foco principal da conexão geral se torna... rasa. E é isso oque acontece com o ser humano em sociedade.
Ele é o ponto principal mas nem conseguimos defini-lo. Nós nem conseguimos explicar oque é o homem!
E é por isso que objetificar torna tudo mais fácil.
Lembra quando mencionei sobre a mesopotania? Então, é a mesma receita do bolo. Utilizam o propio existencialismo e resquícios do preconceito misturados com a bomba do mundo de hoje para vermos quem somos apenas pelo nosso corpo, nosso sangue.
Nascemos do sangue e é oque corre em nossas veias. Logo somos o sangue, somos carne - e a carne está aí para ser comercializada, para ser assada, para ser usada.
Para Beauvoir, a objetificação da mulher é uma forma de alienação, onde a identidade e a agência da mulher são negadas. Ela é tratada como um ser que existe apenas em relação ao homem, sem um valor ou existência própria. Essa percepção é perpetuada por normas culturais, sociais e econômicas que mantêm as mulheres em posições subordinadas.
E isso acontece com todos os tipos de classe sociais possíveis.
A objetificação causa controle, causa dúvida, causa depressão. E ela está ainda mais forte agora.
Estamos em uma época onde as pessoas de minha idade querem atravessar os limites a muito tempo impostos sobre oque era ser um humano. Isso é algo bom, mas ao mesmo tempo ruim porque a sua única opção será ser objetificado para que se sinta algo.
Também está ocorrendo muita generalização ultimamente. Com os homens principalmente, os famosos 'redpillados'.
A urgência de estar em um grupo quando ser representado apenas por aquilo não faz mas sentido os consome, a ideia vendida do ideal os consome, e vocês sabem a matemática: 1+1 = 11.
O homem começa a ter uma crise e como não sabe nem dizer o que é, ele se representa como seu grupo. 'Ah, mas a mulher nunca fez nada! O homem-" perceba como eles sempre generalizao o homem, nunca mencionando conquistas próprias- apenas do gênero em que se encontra.
Isso é por causa da ideia vendida do que o homem é - não do que você é.
E daí que chamados a Green Book... Mesmo que seja baseados em fatos reais lá de 1960, ainda é algo que assombra a mente dos jovens de hoje.
'SE EU NÃO SOU NEGRO O SUFICIENTE, SE EU NÃO SOU NEGRO, BRANCO OU HOMEM O SUFICIENTE O QUE EU SOU!?'
Imagine acordar e perceber que suas conquistas não importam porque o seu corpo não é considerado 'bonito'o suficiente para mo próximo, sua ideia é generalizada, polarizada, e consumida por outros que pensam como mas de maneira diferente que a sua.
É, uma época, bem... existencialista. E isso desde a guerra, é algo que antes estava em nossos pés, agora está rastejando em nossas costas o questionamento de se valemos algo apartir do que nos é mostrado do que deveríamos ser apartir da massa, e não necessariamente da 'massa inimiga' talvez até a que NÓS acompanhamos.
Sempre queremos falar em tudo mas ao mesmo tempo não temos voz para nada. Falam que cada opinião importa mas quem controla são as massas.
Não é atoa que essa geração é a que mais ocorre suicídios.
Estamos sendo consumidos pelas próprias crenças. Nossa mente sofrendo a necessidade social ao mesmo tempo que a nega com relacionamentos parasociais...
Eu poderia ficar horas (e já estou) so comentando sobre isso, sobre como a sociedade é doente.
Mas, pra mim já deu. Eu falei nada com nada e só queria ficar urm tempinho acordado.
Boa noite.
Tenho prova de química amanhã 🥶

The Best Places to Find Inexpensive Land for Sale
Picture owning a parcel of land that you can refer to as yours, where you can construct your ideal residence, initiate a small farm, or simply possess a fraction of nature to retreat to. However, discovering reasonably priced land available for purchase can appear to be a challenging mission. The pleasing news is that there are still an abundance of economical choices out there if you recognize where to explore. In this piece, we shall investigate a few of the finest sources to uncover cost-effective land for sale.1. The Midwest The Midwest area of the United States is distinguished for its cost-effective land values. States such as Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa boast extensive expanses of unoccupied land that is ideal for farming or erecting a residence. The sparse population density in these regions signifies that land rates are usually more affordable than in other parts of the nation. Additionally, the Midwest offers a range of terrains, from level prairies to undulating hills, so there is something for everyone.2. The South The southern states of the United States, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, are also excellent locations to discover budget-friendly land for sale. These states have a cheaper cost of living compared to many other parts of the nation, which translates to land prices as well. The warm climate and stunning vistas render the South an appealing choice for those seeking to procure cost-effective land.3. Remote Areas If you are ready to seek outside of major cities and urban locales, you can frequently discover economical land for sale in remote areas. These locations are perfect for individuals who are searching for a tranquil and peaceful setting, far from the commotion of city life. In remote areas, land prices are typically lower, and you may be able to locate more extensive lots of land for a portion of the cost of smaller plots in more thickly inhabited areas.4. Foreclosure Sales Another alternative for discovering economical land for sale is to attend foreclosure auctions. When a property owner falls behind on their mortgage, the property may be taken back by the bank and set up for auction. This can be an exceptional chance to find land at a reduced price. Nevertheless, it is vital to undertake comprehensive research prior to placing a bid on a property at a foreclosure auction, as these transactions frequently come with hazards and intricacies.5. Undeveloped Land Undeveloped land, also referred to as raw land or vacant land, is another alternative for finding reasonably priced land. This form of land does not encompass any buildings or structures, which can render it less costly than developed land. Undeveloped land can be a marvelous investment for those who intend to erect their own residence or simply retain the land until its value appreciates.6. Web-based Listings In today's digital era, the internet is a remarkable reservoir for discovering cost-effective land for sale. Several websites and platforms focus on cataloging land for sale, enabling you to explore properties based on location, price, and size. This can save you a substantial amount of time and effort in comparison to traditional methods of seeking land.7. Government Land Sales Certain government agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), vend land at reduced prices, particularly in remote and secluded areas. These properties are generally sold through online auctions or direct sales and can be an excellent choice for those in quest of economical land.8. Land For Sale By Owner When land is vended directly by the owner, it can frequently be more economical than when sold through a real estate agent. By interacting directly with the seller, you may be able to negotiate a lower price and economize on agent fees. Nonetheless, it is crucial to carry out your due diligence and validate that the property is devoid of any encumbrances or concerns prior to purchasing.9. Land Located in Opportunity Zones Opportunity Zones are earmarked areas where investors can obtain tax advantages for investing in real estate. These areas are frequently economically distressed, and engaging in land located there can offer significant savings because of tax incentives.10. Parcel Size Lastly, contemplate the expanse of the land you are seeking to procure. Often, larger parcels of land are vended at a lower per-acre price than smaller parcels, rendering them a more budget-friendly choice. If you are in search of a larger piece of land, buying a single large parcel may be more economical than procuring multiple smaller parcels.To conclude, there are still countless options accessible for discovering economical land for sale. From the Midwest to the South, remote areas to foreclosure auctions, there are numerous chances to find affordable land. By weighing these diverse options and conducting comprehensive research, you can secure the ideal parcel of land at a price that aligns with your budget. Whether you are aiming to construct a residence, commence a farm, or invest in real estate, there are ample avenues for discovering economical land for sale. With the appropriate approach and some patience, you can transform your aspiration of possessing land into a reality.

So I spoke in church this past Sunday on the Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis, and in my preparation I fell into a bit of a rabbit hole and found that some scholars believe the Tower of Babel was actually the ancient Mesopotamian Ziggurat of Marduk, now in ruins located in modern-day Iraq. These ziggurats were massive rectangular temples with ascending stairs, built with the idea of man trying to reach heaven, or reach the gods. This pride and arrogance is what caused God to destroy Babel and confuse the language of man, who up until that point in history had only one language.
Now the ascending stairs were enough to get me thinking of The Oldest View, with both the stairs to the AMC level in the Valley View Mall, and that mysterious clip at the end of Life of a Giant with those old, ruin-like stairs (which resembles those in the mall). But the scripture of the Babel story itself got me thinking even more. In Genesis 11:4 the people say, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” But then God gets involved, confusing their language and forcing them all over the earth, as in the beginning He gave man the command to "fill the earth." Genesis 11: 8-9 reads, "So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth."
Man's fear of dispersal caused them to build the tower in the first place, only for it to ironically cause them to get dispersed. Another aside, the Tower of Babel story happens right on the heels of the story of Noah, when God purged the world through a great flood due to the rampant sin and corruption. Right before the Flood, in Genesis 6: 4-5, it reads: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." The Hebrew word for Nephilim literally translates to "Giant". It is thought that the Nephilim/giants (not so anatomically modern!) are the spawn of these rebellious angels who slept with human women and led to all this evil. The apocryphal Book of Enoch and Book of the Giants goes into a lot of detail of that pre-Flood time, including the banishment of these fallen angels into chains beneath the earth. Fragments of these two books were among many discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Now a huge theme of the The Oldest View seems to be nostalgia. And with malls like Valley View being torn down more and more these days, the memories are being dispersed with us. And what better modern-day symbol of a towetemple/ziggurat than a mall? Us humans worshipping at the altar of commercialism and corporate power, and then chasing the memories of those places when they're no longer. Man started in a garden of Eden (plants, botany, Julien Reverchon!) only to be kicked out. This lush land of ours is constantly being built upon and torn down--Dallas, Texas being but a microcosm, first the failed attempt of the utopian La Reunion coming to an end after some fiscal mismanagement and bad weather, and then a mall built on top of it over a century later which also had its time for but a moment before being torn down, and now this Dallas Midtown Project is set to take its place.
It's a lot of rambling more than a solid theory at this point, but I thought I'd share it nevertheless...

È vero che ‘tutti’ usano l’auto? NO

Analisi del modo di spostarsi basata sui dati di circa 800 città nel mondo. Da notare che, se si togliesse il Nord America (Stati Uniti + Canada) che alza la media dell’uso dell’automobile, nel resto del mondo chi usa mezzi alternativi all’auto rappresenterebbe la maggioranza.
Sembra che senza automobile sia impossibile muoversi. Ma questo deriva da un forte condizionamento di marketing, pubblicitario, propagandistico e mediatico nordamericano: come si vede dall’infografica sopra, solo in nordamerica il 92% degli spostamenti si svolgono in automobile. Questo in ambito nazionale. Però se, negli Usa, si va a guardare come si spostano a New York (la città più importante dal punto di vista economico di tutto il paese e la più densamente popolata), lì moltissimi usano i mezzi pubblici, la bicicletta e vanno a piedi (a Manhattan solo il 24% delle famiglie hanno un’auto privata, e solo il 5,8% dei residenti usano l’auto privata, più un 1,7% che fa carpooling per andare al lavoro; il 33% va a piedi o in bici).
Rispetto agli Stati Uniti e al Canada, invece in Sud America, Asia ed Europa un’alta quota di spostamenti avvengono anche:

• Con i mezzi pubblici
• In bicicletta o a piedi

D’altra parte è ovvio: la Terra è popolata da circa 8 miliardi di persone, mentre le automobili in circolazione sono circa un miliardo (e ogni anno fanno 1,3 milioni di morti, e circa 50 milioni di feriti, secondo i dati dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità).
Se, parlando di traffico e mobilità, spesso pensiamo che l’automobile sia il veicolo universale per eccellenza, pensiamo sbagliato: nel mondo, come in Europa, moltissime persone si muovono anche con i mezzi pubblici, in bicicletta e a piedi.
Anche in Italia, dove l’automobile è diffusissima, in molte aree proprio per carenza di mezzi pubblici (in qualche caso smantellati proprio per favorire l’uso dell’auto), possiamo scoprire che a Roma l’uso dei mezzi pubblici pochi anni fa arrivava comunque a un rispettabile 27%, paragonabile a quello di Milano (dati del Sole 24 Ore):
https://preview.redd.it/kvd30hv0c63d1.png?width=363&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c6488f8aa6deb314cf78cfbd4203d36f2b7a468
È quindi evidente che la presentazione dell’automobile come veicolo universale in realtà è un modo capzioso per presentare un veicolo costoso ed elitario come ‘il veicolo di tutti’. Non lo è: si tratta di un veicolo molo costoso riservato a una minoranza benestante o relativamente benestante della popolazione mondiale.
I dati derivano dall’integrazione delle statistiche di 800 città in 61 paesi del mondo e quindi è una rappresentazione principalmente della mobilità urbana. Fra i continenti mancano l’Africa (dove l’uso dell’auto è probabilmente molto inferiore), l’Australia (che ha una popolazione di 26 milioni di persone) e l’Oceania.
Come è evidente la situazione del Nord America (Canada e Stati Uniti) è unica rispetto al resto del mondo. Si tratta di due nazioni che dal dopoguerra in poi hanno impostato tutta l’urbanistica e la politica dei trasporti per favorire l’automobile. Nel caso degli Stati Uniti non per ovvia e naturale evoluzione ma per scelta politica. Fino al 1930 le città degli Usa erano collegate da un’efficiente rete ferroviaria, e molte città avevano capillari reti tramviarie che sono state smantellate proprio per favorire l’uso dell’automobile, con sventramenti dei quartieri e centri urbani per costruire parcheggi e superstrade al posto delle abitazioni.
Quindi: quando qualcuno presenta l’auto come il veicolo che usano tutti, sta mentendo oppure è poco informato.
