One of my big car-brain culture shocks coming to North America.
Years later, I still find it such a stupidly dangerous idea.

Makes sense, thank you for the reply

What's the relative role of car tire pollution, do you know?
I ask because I remember seeing some work along the lines of it being bad some time back. And the US did go deep in the direction of huge heavy trucks and SUVs over this period, weight being a crucial factor for tire wear.

For me the core counter is that, just like mathematicians themselves, economists hone their intuition through mathematical examples.
Sure, you might skip a section on a paper, but you're relying on a large accumulated body of knowledge to back you up on that (and some trust on the publishing system)

Pois é, é isso.
Fazendo umas estimativas simples e muito conservadoras, se fosse "resolver" com imposto por exemplo a gente precisava cobrar uns R$10 por bife de boi (de 100g), e uns R$1500/ano no combustivel de um carro.
Garanto que o governo que tentasse fazer isso não durava uma tarde.

I haven't used it, but Overleaf does offer Github integration, which is probably safer/more robust to messes because of the full version control allowing you to just roll back the project.
