You know... Like Russia, Hungary, Elbonia...

Carter dying just before Dumpy takes office is precisely the right kind of ominous foreshadowing for the upcoming dark ages.

Have a fun dystopia!

Otherwise I'd be having a perfect 10 out of 10 there.

Imagine how many seconds they could save if drivers were plugged into a system which would eliminate the need for bathroom breaks - both number one and two?

As a bonus, Jeff could harvest valuable trace minerals from drivers' shit and piss. Waste none want none.

But I do admire you unbridled racism. Please, do tell us more.

As for the only thing that are relevant to the discussion... "buildings/housing rebuilt with wide roads" - yeah... about that.

41% of PM2.5 air pollution in Delhi is from cars, 21.5% from dust/fire and 18% from industries.
I.e. That construction and roads you are calling for is where the air pollution is coming from.
They went from 2.5 million cars in 2000 to 10.5 million in 2018. Also, Delhi already has the highest road density in India (2103 km/100 km2).

But why stop there... Let's hear more about how your puny little racist skull is empty of facts and full of shit.

You want THE ENTIRE INDIA (not just Delhi we're talking about here) to be more like Singapore.

You may not know this but... for one Singapore is an island state. Kinda like Hawaii, but closer to the shore.
It's population is about 6 million, with the density of about 7804/km2.

Delhi, alone, is an inland, urban agglomeration of several cities, it's urban population alone being about 16.3 million (back in 2011) with population density of 11312/km2.
Metro area is about 28.5 million (2018) - second only to Tokyo.
India on the other hand is the seventh largest country by territory, on this planet, and BIGGEST by population with over 1.4 billion humans.

But wait, there is more... Besides Singapore being a tiny island - they have basically banned cars for everyone but the insanely rich and taxi companies.
For one, you are basically not allowed to own a car older than 10 years. They do that by limiting the total number of cars in Singapore.
You want a car - either get rid of the one you already have OR wait for someone else to do so and then OUTBID THEM for the "certificate of entitlement".
Which will allow you to register the car - at 100% to 240% of car's Open Market Value.
On top of that - cars there cost about FIVE TIMES what they do in the US.

Now, while I am all for reducing the number of cars... I do not think such practices would work elsewhere, not just in India.
After all, in most other places government can't administer beating people as punishment or ban them from protesting - like they do in Singapore.
Hell, you need a police permit for a family lunch - any public gathering of five or more people is illegal in Singapore without a police permit.
Remember - that's the country where chewing gum is illegal.

Why do you expect that the structures of power will collapse along with the ecosystems and the loss of coastal cities?
If anything, they will be hardened. And militarized.
Think 1984, not Mad Max.

Followed by not Soylent Green but Rollerball. But that's way out in the future.

How do you explain a failed owner of a failed restaurant where she poisoned people by the dozens getting into Congress?
After paying off debts the restaurant was making, most the money her husband was earning was gone.
She couldn't have taken ALL her voters to see Beetlejuice The Musical with her.

Or how about that other chick that worked the bar while running her campaign - against the guy with money AND the party behind him?

Don't look now... but that's two women from lower-middle and middle class from both major US parties.
Both going AGAINST the party they ended up in and then continued being a thorn in their own party's side most of the time.
And both making it to congress, pretty much by their own bootstraps and gumption.
58678 and 15897 votes, respectively.

Maybe you just suck and no one likes you enough to vote for you? Have you thought of that?
Like, when you look yourself in the mirror in the morning? Ever get those ideas?
You know... maybe it's you.

Governments are realizing that the whole "cashless economy" thing may not work in a world where hostile actors can attack and destroy the underlying infrastructure.

If your "money" depends on such fragile systems as electricity, internet and software running on top of them - all stacked up, inverted-pyramid-like, on top of each other - that is not a functional medium of exchange.
That is a balancing act waiting to crash.

People on the pyramid keep pushing it hoping to cash out by dumping their debt onto a greater fool.

Prometheus idiots? Ridley Scott sheep? Trump morons?

Anyway as I was saying...

A Monopoly movie almost happened. Instead, we got something equally bad - Prometheus.
Seriously, if you think that movie is good you need to check yourself into a mental health institution.

Also possibly the Trump presidency.
Sorry, but if you think that choice is good a mental health institution won't help you. Try bleach, injected directly into brain cavity, through the eyeballs.
I'm not saying it will help, but it can't hurt to try.

Also, Ridley Scott? Overrated. Always was. Particularly for a guy who hates smelling pot at screening of his movies.
I mean, they often feel like he smelled a lot of it making them.
It's just that he is famous and rich and influential enough now that no one can tell him "No" anymore. Like Coppola.
Though to be fair, Scott never produced anything as overrated as a Sofia Coppola.
