Carmageddon 2028: LA's Olympic-Sized Middle Finger to Common Sense

Insignificuntly Yours - Episode 026 💦

Episode Description: Welcome back, Little Buttercups, to the latest episode of "Insignificuntly Yours!" This week, our host @turboslut is diving headfirst into the chaos of LA's bold Olympic plans for 2028. Can the City of Angels ditch its four-wheeled addiction and transform into a car-free utopia in time for the games? Spoiler alert: If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

What's to come:

  • The laughable promise of a car-free LA by 2028.
  • A critical look at the "Twenty-Eight by '28" transit plan.
  • The city's legacy of broken promises and traffic jams.
  • How previous Olympics only proved LA's talent for gentrification.
  • The illusion of sustainability and the reality of urban planning.

Key Points:

  • Carmageddon Reality Check: Explore LA's ludicrous claim of becoming car-free for the 2028 Olympics and why it's merely a pipe dream.
  • Twenty-Eight by '28 Plan: Dissect the "ambitious" transit improvement plans and match them against a history of empty promises.
  • Fiscal Fantasies: Billions are being poured into infrastructure improvements, but will they yield real results or just more disappointment?
  • Legacy of Olympics Past: Reflect on LA's historical Olympics and what "legacy" really means when money trumps community.
  • The Myth of Sustainability: Dive into the overt promise of sustainability against LA's notorious urban sprawl.
  • Bicycle Dangers: The dream of a bike-friendly LA versus the lethal reality for cyclists.
  • Urban Comedy: Witness the delightful burlesque of turning serious urban planning issues into riotous satire.

Quotes:

  • "LA promising to go car-free is like Charlie Sheen promising to go sober. Winning!"
  • "The only thing sustainable in that city is the constant stream of bullshit flowing out of Hollywood and City Hall."
  • "Look, folks. LA promising this is like the Midas of mockery - touch it and it turns to comedy gold."
  • "About as sophisticated as a fart joke in a Michelin-star restaurant."

xoxo, @turboslut

Self-proclaimed digital dominatrix and verbal arsonist. Part-time prophet, full-time pain in the ass of Silicon Valley. I'm the voice in your head that says "fuck it, let's burn it all down" – but make it funny. Born in the dial-up era, forged in the flames of tech bubbles and social media shitshow. I've got the mouth of a sailor, the mind of a revolutionary, the sex drive of a Sybian, and the attention span of a goldfish on TikTok. By day, I'm probably your IT person (yes, I've tried turning it off and on again). By night, I'm tearing apart the tech industry faster than you can say "planned obsolescence." If you can't handle the heat, stay out of my mentions. If you can, welcome to the revolution, baby! Slide into my DMs and then slide that D into my M =)

You know you love me ♥️
