World Economic Forum calls to reduce private vehicles by eliminating 'ownership’…

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Scott Adams talked about that a couple days ago, which prompts me to mention that his videos starting about a couple days ago have been a lot more interesting that usual.

His take was we wouldn't have cars because car ownership sucks, not that they will be taken from us. I mean, I don't own my own airplane, I rent one (seat). We use tons of things we don't own.

Don't know if what's his name has some stupid communist utopia delusion, or if he's just saying something pretty obvious; that when autonomous vehicles makes the cost of transportation nearly nothing, that we don't need to make the 2nd most expensive purchase anymore.

I'd rather not spend money on stupid cars. Would rather have a helicopter.

He's coming aroud to my attitude about the next Mexican-American War. Remember 'the Halls of Montezuma'?

For decades I said I would drive VW Beetles until I could trade up to a UFO. Eventually, I settled for an XFi.

Closest thing to a UFO for road use is the Arcimoto FUV.

A certain gameshow host was not incorrect when he crassly stated the plainly obvious to anyone without severe brain damage; that some countries are better than others (or as he put it, some are much worse). Further, countries are defined by their area of authority, which means their rule of law applies to that geography, and it must be enforced.

Not to compare Mexican corruption with US, but while they've got catastrophic corruption with cartels, we've got very serious problems with corporatism.

If we handle our problems appropriately, it might force Mexico to contend with theirs too.

The only thing I know about the Halls of Montezuma is that it's in the Marine Corps anthem.

Maybe. I still prefer helicopter due to the efficiency, and autorotation if the power source drops out. Still don't get why everyone is dinking around with tons of motors when one could just build an electric helicopter without having to reengineer everything.

Cost should come down once things are mass produced.

We occupied Mexico City over a dispute about the botder.

Well, don't give me credit for that.

I wasn't there either. :)
