Sure, but people with kids already use their cars more efficiently: more trips per day + higher vehicle occupancy.

If you can replace 1 million, single person vehicle, 2 trips per day (work commute) with cheap ubers or robotaxis... that goes a long way to reducing congestion.

Of course I'm talking about voluntary reduction by offering cheaper, better alternatives. Don't think I'm in the 15-min city, surveillance heavy, agenda 2030 camp 😉

Still not the final form, but continues to improve in historical accuracy.

I've thrown in some future predictions for fun.

What does this (e-gold, liberty reserve experience) imply for USDT, stablecoins?

The Nigerian ban is also interesting. Instead of banning mining, like China, they banned all possession and use. The results were fun.

Jitney style minivans work well in some countries and are even more efficient, cheap and flexible.

The problem is again political: they are banned in most places because they compete too efficiently with public transport.

An Uber style private hire vehicle does an estimated 10x trips per day as a private car in a city the size of London.

An extra 100.000 taxis/ubers could take 1 million private cars off the streets.

It seems like low hanging fruit to reduce traffic problems in large cities.

My guess is that there are political reasons not to do it (taxi licensing is a source of money for many municipalities).

Dems: we need a police state because climate change.

Reps: we need a police state because immigration.

Is there a political option that does not involve a police state?

Time to revisit this scenario.

@nevent1qqs...

It's so funny to me that the real metaverse, despite billions spent by Meta, MS and others, is Minecraft.

Millions of kids are spending time on thousands of servers.

Slightly better data. Most curves are still just an approximation, but the roman, mongol, british, spanish empires now reflect the historical expanse a bit more accurately.

I will keep improving it.

Pero hombre... ¿por qué no aceptar zaps?

Yo te agradezco el contenido y me encantaría enviarte unos pocos sats como muestra de apoyo.

We don't need to do it all in our lifetimes, just start it.

If we can build a few citadels, they can serve as examples for the next generation.

But yes, the near future looks grim. Survival and saving what we can should be the priority for now.
