    Where I live, that is a reality. It’s a dream given form. No driving, no hyper-attentive babysitting imbeciles to avoid a crash. I board a train, then I simply set off.

      Car heads will never understand the bliss of just getting out of the vehicle and leaving without having to find parking

        I never had a car until I needed one for work. At the first two places I was assigned there was a reserved parking lot with plenty of room for everyone. At the last place I was assigned, there was no guaranteed parking. It was easier to take public transit for 75 minutes than to drive 30 minutes and have to look for parking.

      Sorry, this is a bit hard for me to parse.

      Are you saying capitalists sell us shiny new things so that we always crave the newest and best even if old and boring can be better?

        so itis not a bit hard to understand after all,

        but you ?conveniently? left-out the extremely important part- “are sold to the people, by owners that are reckless & Capitalist mindset of endless need for more, SICKNESS-“
        It is important to include what these Capitalist are, that is another sales job, making them out to be good & sane people.

            No problem, but it is readable.

            Also that was why ?conveniently? was surrounded by ?s, I did not know for sure, whether you purposely protecting them- maybe, a BOT.

            Plus, as I said, in previous post-

            “the extremely important part- “are sold to the people, by owners that are reckless & Capitalist mindset of endless need for more, SICKNESS-“
            It is important to include what these Capitalist are, that is another sales job, making them out to be good & sane people.”

    Rich ppl want cutting edge innovation because they can buy everything that already exists while most people want a functioning society with good infrastructure and services.

    But but, wellwell well how do you expect the oil companies to make a Fair Profit??? And the military! Without oil wars, we might have to use that money someplace else!

    And someone think of America’s techbros. They’re just biologically Better Than You. They deserve to get filthy rich while we commute for hours in traffic.

    Read my username, it’s got SNARK in it.

    I could not agree more about The Best Public Transportation (BICYCLE PATHWAYS, IN PLACE OF AUTOMOBILE LANES), but want SAFE FLYING, self driving, COMPLETELY SOLAR POWERED (through solar panels built into the skins) & Shared/Not Owned & On Call, Not Through Cellphone-App. Vehicles (cannot be called cars-automobiles).
