You live in a place designed around cars, that’s the problem. Society worked fine without cars for a good long while. We could have adopted trains, bikes, and buses without the car and things would be going swimmingly. The idea is to fix our bad town planning so that it’s reasonable to get to any destination using any mode if transportation.
Ah yes, because plumbers, electricians, and brick layers never have to deal with geometry. That being said, none of my geometry education was taught with a practical motivation. But that being said, I was in the advanced track classes, so none of us were becoming professional carpenters. I’m actually probably one of the most “hands-on” people from that class, both in my job and in my life. I build scientific instruments and enjoy fixing things around the house.
Not really. The point of getting really good at it in your teenage years is so that when it shows up 30 years later you have a vauge idea of what you’re looking at and can figure it out again. If you had only a surface level understanding to begin with, it’ll all be totally gone by the time you need it again, and very few people have the gumption to teach themselves a subject from scratch.
Some More News Quality news show with very not safe for work humor

Ian refused to stand up for Karl when Karl was being attacked for asserting that the 2nd amendment is for everyone (along with all guaranteed rights, more generally). He straight-up refused to say that human rights apply to everyone because he knew it would piss off a good chunk of his audience.
He has a history of bad behavior, but he’s been very good about keeping it quiet, so most people he fucks over think it was an isolated incident.
