    NICE name, I was thinking maybe we would just end up in a situation where gas gets expensive so people have to use our shitty Public transport and then we just end up with workplace apartments that make commuting a thing of the past. But in the worst way possible naturaly

      lol thanks. Nah, what'll happen is that we'll end up with mad max versions of UberPool; Big SUV rolling coal motherfuckers or Cybertruck drivers asking for five stars for getting you through the wasteland with minimal casualties. Pretty sure that might another Stephenson scenario. Fall: Or Dodge in Hell had a similar reality. Hate how prophetic he is while still subscribing to the ideologies that will take us there.
