How would you stop climate change if you were a Stalin-like figure in modern America? That's the question that we attempt to answer in this episode, despite the fact that none of us are climate scientists.

If I was the dictator of a small to medium sized city, I'd probably ban drive-throughs.
They're fundamentally stupid. If two people ahead of you order hard-to-make stuff, then you get bogged down even if you just want fries or a a coffee or something that takes 5 seconds to serve you.
Plus everyone's idling waiting for food. Idk if parking lots next to restaurants is more efficient space-wise than a line of cars, but overall serving people faster is probably better.
Could probably be analyzed in a computer experiment where every customer has a randomly select time to order vs time to be served, and you test the two queueing methods against each other.
Drive throughs are so bad I think they were invented by the car lobby probably

Ever have a sleeping baby and a toddler in the car? Like many things, it’s not the technology (meaning the restaurant with a couple holes in the side) that is inherently bad, it is the systems around it. I can imagine good drive throughs. (Dropping into Obama voice mayo pete style) A drive through where no one would have to pull up and wait for an employee to run across the parking lot. A drive though where technology could bring many people their food at once, without having to make teenagers roller skate it to you like some kind of 1950s Amish. A drive through where the food wasn’t laxative.
