I had to think for a minute straight to get this. :D

If some immortality serum gets discovered, I hope it's Gabe that gets to use it and I hope he keeps it secret from other rich people.

When quality of life is decreasing for the average person and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, people get depressed. Hypercompetitive society and an ever widening wealth gap does not help.

Good thing that USA is spending as much on their military as during the height of WW2, so they can come and help. Wait a moment..

FOSS to the rescue!

You're right, getting money out of politics is necessary for correct decisions to be made by the government.

Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker ones.

Democracy doesn't work particularly well when the voters are uneducated or otherwise missinformed. That when the country starts doing things that are against its and its own citizens interest. Corruption, legal or otherwise, also contribute to making it disfunctional.

The type of traffic shaping you are thinking off can still be done under net nutrailty and was never an issue.

Or how about this:

The body is a super complex chemical eco-system. Messing with it is understandably super difficult, if you do not want to cause damage. All drugs have side effects. Known or otherwise. Using drugs for any reason is like throwing a funnily shaped wrench in to a factory you do not fully understand. It always causes problems. In medical science we try to figure out what type of wrench causes the least destruction while providing some benefit. We then weigh the benefits against the downsides. Leave these decisions to someone that has dedicated their life to this science. Let them make educated guesses for you. Instead of you just guessing. Generally, don't use any drug unless you have to. Stop as soon as is recommended by your doctor. Assume that any drug you use, will have a permanent, accumulative detrimental effect on the body. Just to be safe.

So prices will go up until you and me will get around with rickshaw. Whoever is poorer pulls the other. And while we bump forth; we wont have to worry about continued plastic pollution. Our rickshaw is made of metal and wood.
