If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don’t, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though. A man can dream.

    The true cost is and has always been the millions of lives they ended but we as a society don’t seem to give a shit.

      Let’s say, today, within these 24 hours, if more than 50% of the car engines have been started, a specific person will die for sure tomorrow. Can we prevent the person from dying if we know this beforehand? No, because there is always “I’m late for work” or “Why me? Why not him?”

      One death is way too many for a civilized society.
