Setting aside how things are, I'm curious about this thought experiment:

> You have zero right to a car. It is a privilege, one that you should be able to lose a lot easier.

Do I have a right to feed myself and my family?

If yes, is that right absolute or relative?

If absolute, and my ability to feed requires me to commute in a car, is having a car a right or a privilege?

Next, assume I cannot use my legs and need an electric wheelchair to move around. Do I have a right to an electric wheelchair? What if that electric wheelchair has 50 miles of range which is more than sufficient for my daily commute and more.

Am I now at an advantage compared to a person who needs a car for that exact same commute?
