The biggest problem with public transportation is WFO.

Ok well maybe someone should have improved that technology then

It's funny... when I was a kid I was supposed to be independent. Now that I'm an adult, apparently humans are social animals.

Thank you, I too was confused about this.

What most countries do is let in enough people so the coffee shops and department stores of the world have a steady supply of cheap labor but not so much that it overwhelms the population. Those factories that Trump wanted won't run on American wages. Let in too many or too little, you are screwed either way.

Housing, travel, child care.. things that people need, all increased 10x inflation since the 50s.

But where they hacked? So you are saying being hacked is worth solving the issues. That's fine, it just seems a steep price to pay. All I'm saying is that you did it to yourself.

And now the same can be said for America. What's your point?

Ok so we have accepted the risks then.

"the streets should have been found and paved 20 years ago"-- this is what I mean.

Ok so it's the same old story.. costs are saved and quality suffers. The fact that they may get hacked was considered and waved off with the cost savings chosen instead.

The problem is having money and resources to fix potholes, not knowing where they are.

During the pandemic I was mind blown about the number of people who could not function unless they are in the company of others. My guess is that people who are dependent on others are easily convinced by salespeople that these things help.

Narcissists don't need evidence to know that talking about themselves to other people in a retreat will help.

And modems no longer exist?
