Luddites?

 The NY Times seems to be getting worse by the day. Take the Luddite who says we should eliminate cars altogether, including electric. Now living in New Jersey in order to get a vaccine shot, hopefully, I must travel 135 miles each way two times or a total of 540 miles to the Delaware border. There is no chance in my county and surrounding counties prohibit us. Thus the need to travel. So the Luddite would insist I find some public transportation. Really. Try NJ Transit for anything. It would take days to get there. Assuming you can even get there.

That is the problem with New York Luddites. Try getting out to the world. Transportation is critical, it has been evolving for centuries, so what does this character want, 2000 BC? No, worse, no donkeys or camels, just walk. 

In the midst of the pandemic we get to read, unfortunately for me, the likes of these individuals. Pity.
