This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

    I’m assuming this lasy does not have much money at all. You can get road side assistance with your car insurance and they’ll come to you and get you taken care of. If its a dead battery then just use a jumper. Gone are the days of needing a second car for this. Its just a big rechargeable battery with jumper cables attached to it. If you don’t have these then you are either ignorant to their existence, can’t afford it, or just want to live on the edge. If you don’t have the money for it then thats fine. Times can be tough, I get it. If you do have the money for it, then don’t be dumb and pay for these things. Having simple car knowledge helps a lot yet so many in the US don’t know shit about cars

      Is that the entire extent of your consideration, or do you have an actual suggestion for a systemic solution for poor people who find themselves in this situation?
