Robinson Meyer: ‘Unfortunately, the Electric Scooters Are Fantastic’

Robinson Meyer, writing for The Atlantic:

When this latest army invaded my village, it seemed no different than the rest. I had heard rumor of it for weeks, had feared and resented it, had assured friends that its occupation would end as soon as all its predecessors. But when its foot soldiers finally arrived, I was shocked to find myself charmed. Now, I cannot imagine life without them.

I speak, of course, of the electric scooters.
