"The only way to free the world from traffic is to significantly reduce unnecessary travel."

What we learned from COVID is not that people would avoid unnecessary travel, but they would avoid unwanted travel. WFH people stopped commuting (which was a boon to those whose essential work required on-site presence) but they kept getting in the cars and driving to Starbucks instead of STFH and make their own coffee. Buncha' idiots.

Vocabulary is important. The telescope is not being moved by boat. It's being moved by ship. Sloppy reporting. If they got such a simple detail wrong, what other errors are there?

The only life form on this planet of which there is no shortage is human beings. Getting population growth under control is a good thing.

I had no trouble finding this sort of data when I was in school in the 70s and 80s or when I went back to grad school in the 90s. It's all readily available.

I take great exception to the concept that there is a role for government here.

I hire independent sub-contractors for my business, maybe 10,000 hours a year among about forty people. Mostly side work for them. If I have to count them as employees I won't have time to do the work that brings in business. The answer is simple. Turn away business and stopping hiring help.

" If Amazon made a case that tax evading loopholes were *good* for the country, people might actually think about the issue and come to the opposite conclusion."

This is only true if you don't benefit from the tax law. How do you feel about the mortgage interest deduction? In this case, Amazon is correct. They are following the rules. Ms. Warren and her colleagues are responsible for the rules.

...has been watching too many science fiction movies and not reading enough classic science fiction novels and novellas. Get Hollywood out of the scenario development.

Newspapers in Colorado will have to stop hosting comment from the readership with articles. Moderation will become unmanageable.

...for someone to talk about evacuating from wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes in an EV.

> With all the limitations of 5G, and the list of negatives being longer than the list of positives, why did we created 5G at all?

5G works great in areas with very dense population and fully populated 5G cellular networks.

> Sound cranked so loud it hurt.

This was a problem for me before COVID. I was taking ear plugs with me to make the sound tolerable. What's the sense of that? I'd much rather watch at home.
