In times of turmoil and chaos, our focus must be on the common good. Privacy and freedom of thought must be protected.

Whether you’re turning a wrench or staring at a spreadsheet, the struggle is the same. We’re told to fear each other while the top 1% hoards the fruits of our labor. The GOP uses "Christianity" to keep us divided, but the math doesn't add up. #LaborUnited #TheCommonGood

Orientation towards the common good in cities: The role of individual urban mobility behavior

"Because of the design of cars, the interactions car passengers have with their direct environment are significantly reduced."

"There are few opportunities for interaction between the driver and the environment...Isolation can reinforce individualistic behaviors and cause drivers to reduced opportunities for social and spatial interaction."

"In contrast to motorized individual transport, non-motorized individual transport means active transportation (walking, cycling). Research has shown that this mode of transportation is beneficial for communities (reducing traffic, decreasing noise, and reducing pollution) as well as individuals (increased physical and mental well-being)"

"Through direct interaction with the geographic and topographic environment (different road surfaces, hills and valleys, parks or play streets, etc.), bicyclists develop a rich and extensive cognitive “picture of the city”."
