The length anti car people will go to spread their propaganda...

It's watching screens at close range for 10 hours a day.

Just think about how little of your time the average person spends crossing trucks at night. That's not even 15 minutes a year.

Not just screens. Books are just as bad. Human eyes aren't really optimized for staring at a single fixed distance for hours at a time, every single day.

Yeah best thing for your eyes is to regularly look out into the distance in between whatever you're doing.

You're right on most points, but in the south it's definitely more than 15 minutes a year. Those fuckers are even blinding in the daytime.
