This one really gets me: commuting by car is such an inefficient way of getting around that every major radio station feels obliged to constantly update their listeners about how gridlocked the roads are.

Not one mention is given to alternative transport options that might actually help reduce traffic. They just treat it like a weather forecast. Nothing can be done to prevent it. It’s worth saying that radio is still really popular where I live, so it’s a daily reminder for me of how deeply fucking carbrained my culture has become.

    Not entirely true in my location. Radio also mentions (large) train outages.
