If someone asks me for “a few” I’ll give them three or four. If someone asks for “multiple” I’ll give them a handful and ask if that’s enough.
I don’t know where in the world this theory is coming from, but here, two would be “a couple” and three+ would be “a few.” Not that “a pair” (never just pair) and multiple aren’t used in other contexts, but you wouldn’t use pair and multiple in the same context. A pair is specific, multiple is an estimate.
Fuck outta here.
Who said anything about centralized control?
That’s a matter of access, not whether a sufficient amount of resources exist.
We’ve already reached post scarcity. Any current scarcity is manufactured.
Neither is this comment section.
Well, that’s better. But none of these that I’ve had to drive through have light-controlled merges. They haven’t had the barriers, either, but still more driving lanes than toll-booth lanes.
Off topic, but could someone ELIF why the lanes are all strictly partitioned right up until just before the booths, where they open into a free-for-all, with fewer booth lanes than there were partitioned lanes? How does this not lead to road rage, fist fights, and accidents, causing even more delays?
All you have to do is look at that thumbnail image to know the source is propagandist trash.
Meh, that’s me. I don’t so much protest gentrification as much as I want to work to ensure my neighbors can continue to live here and reap the benefits themselves as the neighborhood improves. You can’t convince me that the people who have lived here for decades want to live in neglected, under-developed, under-supported, neighborhoods. They just don’t want to be forced out as change happens.
