The private for profit health insurance industry - because what could make number go up better than a (LEGALLY MANDATED) do nothing middle man who's only purpose is to take your money and ensure as little as possible is spent on healthcare sitting between you and not dying?

From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won't get it either way

These sound right to me, especially Dying Earth - a podcast I listen to covered Gene Wolf's Book of the New Sun trilogy and they described it as such. Wikipedia calls it Science Fantasy. Great books by the way

Just build a road one mile wide between and directly through the middle of every urban center so suburbanites have an easier time getting where they're going. This is so easy I should be a road planner

Reading more of these comments it's clear we need to invest heavily in biking and transit infrastructure so taking away some idiots drivers license doesn't damn them to poverty

An issue I see locally is they can't just paint a circle on the road with a couple signs. It always has to be a million dollar project widening out the curbs, building up a huge curb in the middle, putting a big goddamn planter in the middle, then sprinkle signs liberally until it's unreadable.
