WEF calls for end of car ownership

[98SVT - was 06GT]

Wants "usership" instead. They also want to do away with your cellphone so I guess that 4% car usage time will go up every time you need to drive down to the corner store to make a call from the phone booth.

"Be honest," the WEF continues, "you likely have at least one old mobile phone tucked in the bottom of a drawer. Possibly an unused hard drive taking up space too. You aren't alone. The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time... This is not at all resource efficient. More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus material usage. Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used."

The WEF adds that people should not only give up their ownership of everything from cars to smartphones but that technologies and civilization need to be redesigned to facilitate this transition.

"To enable a broader transition from ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too... A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages."

They keep pushing their ridiculous agendas and the tree of liberty will get a good watering.
