This is either, a
Fahrvergnügen Driving Excitement Moment (aka
Traffic Jam), or lunch break at the
Feed and Seed, depending on whether the guy is waiting for a line of cars in front of him or waiting for his burger and fries to digest. You decide. Kind of makes a mess of the argument that public transportation is lame because you have to wait for buses

Fully occupied buses get between 50%[1] and 125%[2] more miles per gallon per passenger than fully occupied cars. This model, of course, is not ideal;[3] car occupancy is an average of 1.5 passengers rather than four, and bus occupancy goes from nearly full occupancy at rush hour to almost empty at other times.[4]
Minibus and microbus routes have been used to great effect in Oxford England and other cities, often in developing nations, and achieve high levels of occupancy. With greater efficiency and smaller buses, the time between buses can also be reduced. But the key is public participation. The more people turn from private to public transportation, the lower the wait time, and the more expansion of bus routes.

Captains of industry:
- No. 57: Captains of industry boldly wait and see if local businesses become successful, and then proliferate innovation by imitating their business model, forging ahead into a world where all local profits can be first be boldly skimmed at corporate headquarters
- No. 78: Captains of industry take the lead in retreating from investing in areas of the economy that need assistance, boldly forging ahead into a world where nobody does anything for anyone
- No. 114: Captains of industry stand bravely alone against the tides and currents of competition, except when they boldly join together in secret price fixing agreements
Right but not correct
Social Services, EPA, legislative constraints on business practice...etc etc etc ad nauseum. Every government agency and then some.
Who is it exactly has the problem with authority? Perhaps, the 'patriots' that whine when the Taxman comes to ask for money for their country?

Capitalist Cloud Cuckoo Land : Neurotics build castles in the sky. Psychotics live in them. Capitalists float a futures market on the expected returns of rent from them.
A Few Men Good at being Targets : We don't want you on the wall, we get that you don't care much for the parties you don't get invited to, you don't really know much about us, let alone anything "secret", and no one on the side of right need "admit" to anything.

But it is Rubin who is not accurately portraying the real world, by using an average value, see main text
