If all the cars in the world were built into buses, and then the cars' occupants started filling the buses, nearly 90% of the buses would be left empty. In other words, we can run at least ten times the number of buses as now, and still break even in fuel to drive them and raw materials to build them.

"...business is faster at dealing with change than government..."
Government Committee:
Staid and slow. Cautious. Afraid of changes that bring potential loss
News report: "Several FISA judges said they also remain puzzled by Bush's assertion that the court was not 'agile' or 'nimble' enough to help catch terrorists"
Board of Directors:
Imaginative and quick. Bold. Daring. Unafraid of changes that bring potential loss

Forum post: "...'No private company can compete with the government. Private firms must turn a profit, or at least break even to survive; whereas the US government can just print money'...'The only way that the government alternative can hedge out private insurance is if the government program does it better than private industry.' Forum post reply: 'If private industry is as agile and as efficient as it is supposed to be, competing with a big slow government organization should be easy'..."

Government in fact has no reason to exist, outside of making changes.
Business does, though; counting the money

Uniformity

The suit. No other item of clothing has remained static and unchanged for over a century. Every other century, even during the middle ages, saw changes in clothing at varying paces. The suit is a symptom not only of groupthink (WP) in the business sector, but stagnation.


The Mao suit (WP), widely ridiculed in the West as a symbol of conformity, was actually based on the Western business suit, albeit a suit for all the people.


Launch pad

This is either, a Fahrvergnügen Driving Excitement Moment, 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

If all the cars in the world were built into buses, and then the cars' occupants started filling the buses, nearly 90% of the buses would be left empty. In other words, we can run at least ten times the number of buses as now, and still break even in fuel to drive them and raw materials to build them.

Get someone else to drive, and learn to be part of a community instead of one in a herd of road rager lemmings. Or try. Or at least think about it. Or whatever, I cease to care.

Cartoon: 'Inventing the staredown'. Missing Link holding a fearsome bone club, staring into a pool, inventing.
