Millennials are deserters in the War On Cars:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/style/2015/09/02/americas-fading-car-culture/
12:56: That article was an embarrassment to the Washington Post. Lazy, retread propaganda in the War on Cars, and didn't even use the latest data showing the article's entire premise was hogwash.
Delete"I don't like it, therefore it can't possibly be true," says Dyer.
ReplyDelete3:43: Nice try, punk. The article can be proven false through solid data, no opinions necessary.
DeleteCan you show us the data that disproves this article?
Delete@ 4:39 PM - You spelled [censored] wrong.
ReplyDelete"The article can be proven false through solid data, no opinions necessary."
ReplyDeleteSo let's see you do just that, rather than reflexively spewing insults and threats.
"reflexively spewing insults and threats". Sounds like what that negative anonymous Bethesda blogger does here on Dyer's site on a daily basis. :/
ReplyDeleteWonder if the anonymous negative guy will ever grow up?
I just read the article. Looks like they are using Census and Federal Highway Administration data to show that the percentage of young people with driver's licenses has gone down.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with that data?
7:43: The troll on here is the one who makes the insults and threats. Projection of his own bad attributes onto others is a frequent characteristic of his troll comments. Where is there a "threat" above?
ReplyDelete7:58: You better believe it. I actually have researched the topic, unlike Marc Fisher.
ReplyDeleteSo, let's see the results of your "research". Put up or shut up, Dyer.
ReplyDelete9:00: Some of it is outdated based upon more recent studies. The decline of teenage driver's licenses was largely due to stricter laws passed in many states, which have delayed many kids getting their licenses. There were also the recession and high gas prices at the same time, lesser factors. To make the leap from "harder to get a license" to "teens don't want a license" is misleading at best, deceptive propaganda at worst.
ReplyDeleteDyer you lose! You lose at everything you do. You're the worst. Give up. Move out of Bethesda. Make everyone's life better!
ReplyDeleteThe troll is working overtime, summer is over!
ReplyDeleteDyer, why are you always so vague about supporting your arguments? What "recent studies" are you referring to?
ReplyDelete"Fading car culture", eh? Let's see, Fast and Furious 7 is the 3rd biggest box office hit of the year, making $350 million in the U.S. Seems like cars are still pretty interesting for many people.
ReplyDeleteAlso:
(in 2014) "Millennials surpassed Gen X in new-car purchases for the first time, signaling a growing transition in consumer preferences of affordability and sustainability over utility.
For the first half of 2014, consumers born between 1977 and 1994 accounted for 26 percent of new-vehicle sales, while those born between 1965 and 1976 accounted for 24 percent, J.D. Power and Associates said in a report released Thursday."

Steve D.: Jurassic World and Avengers 2 are the top two box office hits of the year. Does that mean we have a super-power dinosaur culture?
ReplyDeleteG. Money, Steve has a good point because Fisher claimed car movies were passé at the box office. There are arguably just as many being made today as in the 50s and 60s.
Delete10:15: The survey of actual millennials I reported on earlier this year showed they would rather give up phones than cars, totally contrary to Fisher's claim. It also showed they are driving more miles than their parents did decades ago. And in the latest measurement of cars per household this past February, it has gone up to at least 2.1 from the recession number of 1.9. People are actually buying more cars, not less. Fisher didn't include any of this data, and relied on outdated, recession-depressed statistics.
