Everyone's got their fairly reasonable explanations as to why this is happening. Complexity in cars driving up cost and tanking reliability. Inflation. Tight finances. Public transit, work from home.

And then I look at the WEF guys, who want to make personal vehicle ownership not a thing and think... Boy it's happening. We're turning into Cuba with ancient cars on the road -- eventually none of them will be personally owned. And we're totally happy about that prospect for now.

That webpage> With blockchain-enabled mobility, all providers and consumers can equally participate in a transportation system, setting the terms, conditions and pricing they choose.

I'll wait and see before concluding that that's happening...

Cars in Cuba are personally owned, they're all old due to embargos.

Plenty of other poorer countries afford newer cars.
