Lets look to the free market to solve a problem the free market caused.
Elon Musk is attempting to jimmy open your piggy bank as we speak
Home Alone: But it's a poor, working class family fending off assaults from land developers trying to force them off the land so they can build a hyperloop
"What if instead of cars, we gave vehicles 4 legs to traverse terrain that wasn't turned into massive highways, an AI system so they can move with minimal input, and gave them processing systems so they can run off raw biofuel!?"
... and maybe like a manipulator arm to like... pick up new sources of biofuel that it can plop into this cute little tank for a natural and renewable source of energy wherever you go!"
if only there was some kind of ... mass public transport system... that was demonstrably successful in other countries we could look to for ideas..... hmm oh well let's see what musk has
*cut to musk doing a bump off a table *
"lol idk ... bore a tunnel through the ground and send one car at a time through it "
Genius.
The free market solution is the exact same Highway, only with a $25 toll each way
Free Markets Destroy
Disease. Hunger. Poverty. Climate change. Injustice.
Yes, both these statements describe free markets.
You don’t want to harness the power of the free markets for disruption in the transport space?!?
Clearly traffic needs to be further marketized. People should reserve shares of the road in advance for a small fee; this will help commuters the most since know when they will need to be in traffic and can buy ahead time. And smart travelers can speculate about possible road-use futures and trade ones they think are under-valued, further incentivizing investments in key growth areas.
You can buy up those shares in advance as a form of high traffic speculation, then create options contracts on the shares, tranche and collateralize the options, and sell them to retail investors as a form of guaranteed income while taking off 40% as a transaction fee!
The ideal model of economic efficiency.
"What if we just made flying cars, then the cars could just fly over all the others"
Read this as just build trans initially and I gotta say, that sounds cooler than trains.
more fun
If that's possible??? I fucking love commuting to and from work!!
