> The reduction in deadly disease spread caused by widespread automobile adoption more than outweighed the deaths caused by automobile crashes.

That's really a...unique...take. The reduction in disease was due to things like antibiotics and water treatment facilities, and preventing contamination from human sewage. Horse manure does not cause widespread disease.

Are you just making things up? Like, that's LLM-level hallucination right there.

The rest of your comment is just you stating your opinion as though it's fact because I guess you live somewhere 100% car dependent. Just because your freedom of movement and ability to do things other than commute relies on a motor vehicle, does not make that true of others outside your bubble of wealth.

That said, as established above I'm either arguing with a robot or with a person who has no problem inventing swaths of history out of whole cloth, so I guess the joke is on me.

From the Typhoid Fever page on Wikipedia:

“Industrialization contributed greatly to the elimination of typhoid fever, as it eliminated the public health hazards associated with having horse manure in public streets, which led to a large number of flies, which are vectors of many pathogens, including Salmonella spp.”

I appreciate the compliment, but no, I’m not an LLM, just an ordinary guy who has more understanding of these issues than you do.

Here’s a wild idea: fact check the stuff you claim I’m making up before you make a fool of yourself.

I think this conversation is over. You’re clearly an angry, closed minded person. Have a nice day.
