Ooh ok then, I’ll make a few. 1) North Korea will have been invaded, and a democratically elected government put in place. Floodgates opened for rampant capitalism.

We can’t allow people, who make not liking self service their personality, to continuously hold us back from moving forward. That said - ...

Went to Berlin recently and used the Lime e-scooters to get around some of it. They were *fun* although I guess we’re not allowed them everywhere here because all the boomers will complain. Seen they do them in specific locations although I didn’t see any when I was in London a few weeks back.
