    The world would be so cyber punk if everything was in aluminum or glass. Imagine going to McDonalds and getting an aluminum bottle of diet coke, and little glass jars of dipping sauce

      I remember when I travelled in China, there used to be stacks of glass bottles, usually in a fridge, with a aluminium cap on. These bottles were typically used by restaurants, small corner shops etc. And in them, they sell drinks such as soy milk, orange flavoured soft drink, coke etc. Once you're done with the bottle, they take it back to be sterilised elsewhere (probs a large processing unit), and refill with drinks. It was a massive thing, and it was everywhere.

      I'm pretty sure it still is this way, and I really liked how it was done.

        I mean, in a world where single use plastic is banned, factory farms and private vehicles are right behind them, if not first. So not really sure McD could exist in the world, but the image is cool to think about.

            Building highspeed electric trains down the median of every highway in America, next to fiber optic internet, a next generation electrical grid and cover the whole thing with solar panels.

          Banning private vehicles is a huge urbanist bro wet dream.

          Get cars out of cities and make it so no one would need a car to get to a city. Most of the country would not be able to handle only buses and trains. We'd have a bus route 5 hours long with 6 stops.
