You know what they say about the road to hell... I wouldn\'t put it past
LBJ though. The problem I see:
1965 good idea
1970 not working as well as intended
1975 still not working
1980 no joy
1985 Midnight Basketball!
1990 oh, shit they\'re slinging crack on the basketball courts
1995 Personal Responsibility and Work Oportunity Act
2000 another fail
Sounds like the definition of insanity to me and after almost 60 years
there has to have been a lot of deliberation along the way.

2 hours by car, 6 hours by public transport. Dafuq?
Even more ridiculous, 6 hours by public transport, 7 hours by bicycle!
Public transport is hardly faster than a bicycle!
1 day on foot! Trains go a whole 4 times faster than me walking!
Just close them down.

A taxi is also Public Transport.
No, as only one person uses it.
Not true. They have a plate that says [SP], that is, Public Service.
Same as Buses.

Why on earth would that have any meaning whatsoever? It\'s no more
public than my car, just me in it apart from the driver, going to where
I want to go, unlike a bus.

Ever.
About 15 years ago a bus came within 2 1/2 miles of my home twice a day.
Then the paper mill shut down and that was the only reason for the run.
I see buses around here with one passenger on them. Not economical,
that\'s where all the libtard taxes go.

I was of course only referring to civilised countries. We grew out of
shooting everything.

many selfish fucking cunts have passed and not stopped to give someone a
lift? Imagine people were all like me. Half the population could hitch
and the other half drive. Half the petrol consumed, half the congestion,
half the cost. The hitchhikers could pay an agreed small fare.
You\'ve just described uber.
A better model would be many people requesting a ride, and vans
picking several people up at nearby places and dropping them at nearby
places.
That\'s called a bus.

When I commuted to the university the first semester I had rides to and
fro from two guys that both flunked out. I ended up hitch hiking the
whole second semester. This was a long time ago and I had no trouble
getting rides or problems with the drivers.
Interesting side note was getting married in Cleveland we honeymooned in
Atlantic city. Driving there one of my wife\'s friend\'s boy friend who
had attended our wedding was hitch hiking back to Annapolis where he was
a naval cadet and we took him as far as we could.
None of these things would happen today.

Funny thing is, we can\'t just turn off the porch light and hope that the
neighbors won\'t throw their garbage over the fence.
What happens in Ukraine affects the entire world. If they don\'t export
grain and cooking oil, that ripples out through the global economy, of
which we\'re a part.
It\'s a small world after all.
This would be very possible with self driving cars. When you\'ve done
your commute your car is available in a pool for others to hire while
you\'re at work.

There is also a place to help others.
Something like that has been tried with bicycles although the bikes
weren\'t personal property. It didn\'t work very well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_C%C3%A9line_Figard
Céline Figard (French pronunciation: â[selin fiÉ¡aÊ]; 23 May 1976[2] â 19
December 1995) was a French woman who went missing and was murdered
during a visit to the United Kingdom in December 1995. She accepted a
lift from a lorry driver at the Chieveley services on the M4 in
Chieveley, Berkshire, on 19 December, but never arrived at her
destination. Following an appeal for information on her whereabouts and
police enquiries, her body was discovered on 29 December, at a lay-by on
the A449 in Hawford, Worcestershire. A post-mortem examination
determined she had been strangled and bludgeoned to death.

If I were a country and the US wanted to \'help\' me, I\'d run like hell. Its

Wheat futures are down 20% from last year while 9% more land was planted
last winter in the US. I doubt the US farmers would cry themselves to
sleep if Russia and the Ukraine are too busy to harvest this year.

What radius do you use to define OUR?
The last time I looked there were 50 states in the US so it\'s hard do
define a radius, particularly with outliers like Hawaii.
