I’m all for fixing fossil fuels. I’m all for fixing public transit. But none of that happens until you fix sprawl.

I’m wondering what kind of specialized job you have that you can only work in that one city.

Damn, you gave up on fixing public transit really easy. You must not really believe it could work.

Lifestyle choices that involve being stuck in LA traffic for 2.5 hours EACH WAY, EVERY WORKING DAY OF THE YEAR are killing the planet 

I get it. You want to spend $5 billion so that my bus commute is only 2.5x the time of my car commute, instead of 5x. A noble goal. And to think, I can take my own car, or sit for twice as long in a piss-soaked bus seat, twice a day. For only five billion! a bargain for sure.

That’s what I think too. So why do we blame Tesla when the fleshy bits take a nap and the Tesla crashes?

Cool. So public transport for commuting is a good thing. If only there was a bus that went from where I live to where I work that didn’t take an hour when I can drive it in 12 minutes on a bad-traffic day.

Funny. Your industry resisted safety glass in car windows until the government made them do it.

Maybe you missed this paragraph. I don’t blame you, it’s a long read.

If those highly trained fleshy bits decide to take a nap instead of monitoring the autopilot, and the plane crashes, do we blame Boeing or the fleshy bits? 

Flying a plane is also very complicated. There’s crazy people who want to allow computers to controll the takeoff, fly to the destination, and land the plane with no pilot input. I think that’s nuts.

I’m sure there are. And if you change lanes without shoulder-checking during your driving test, you’ll fail that part, because the state driving handbook (at least in Texas) says to turn your head.

Reckless or downright negligent? So... exactly like the auto industry at large, since forever?

I’m going with iPod, but then I picked the hottest guy in the office. The bell of da ball.

You’re following too closely if you can’t shoulder-check to make a lane change...

The Horn of Africa is in the Arabian Sea, on the opposite side of the continent from the Atlantic Ocean...

And the Iggles missed the extra point, probably because they were screwing around in the end zone jawing at the Cowboys.

I’m filing “alabastress” away with “saltine-American” in my, “awesome burns learned from The Root” cabinet.

It’s dark up there on the moon, for 15 days straight. Better spring for the “third eye” passing lamp as well:

I can tell you’re a true NFC East connoisseur.
