Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

Vituttaa vaa et se et oon trans rikko kaiken luottamuksen koko terveydenhuoltoon vaik kaikki muut asiat on mulla hoidettu helvetin hyvin. Ny vaa koko systeemi tuntuu et on mua vastaa.

but, the thing is

even polyester fabric was higher quality in the past

yes, not all of it, but, still, a noticeable amount of older polyester was...nicer.

yeah, it would still get picks and hold on to every bit of underarm odor, and that's on top of no-one knowing about microplastic shedding

the BLINDING difference in clothing quality between even the 1990s and the mid-2000s...not even going in to the decline in quality of clothing made in natural fibers (jeans with elastane, i'm looking at you), I've got faux-leather trousers from 1980s that are in near-mint condition, even after being hired and worn repeatedly for the past 40 years. we get donations of clothing that shows and films have bought online for contemporary shows that are disintegrating after being used on one show, for like....10 days, max.

don't even get me started on the seam allowances we used to get in clothes, because the assumption was you'd alter it at some point...

Eiku siis ihan tosissaan.

Älkää menkö uimaan kännissä. Älkää menkö veneilemään kännissä. Älkää menkö veteen kännissä.

Vahitkaa lapsia, ettei ne mee liian syvälle tai yksin uimaan. Aikuistenkin on parempi mennä kaverin kanssa. Älkää uiko liian pitkään, jotta jakstatte uida takas rantaan.

Pitäkää pelastusliivejä veneillessä, purjehtimassa, melomassa ja suppailemassa myös!
