    Good thing movements reclaiming streets back for citizens already exist. In fact even businesses who initially opposed this actually realize it’s better for them too.

    Looks at photos of Amsterdam and Paris just decades ago. It’s like smoking in planes.

    We as a society try, fail, learn, and overcome BS.

      I’d guess late 1800’s. It always sucks when people don’t realize until they look old the key to immortalilty is just eating a fresh baby once a year.

    Everyone should use guillotines. Society has no choice but to change. I used to be a parasite. When the revolution came along, you obviously can’t be a parasite now

      In reality, everyone should use securities backed loans. You have no choice but to change. I used to be starving. You can’t be a poor anymore.

    God, he is such an insufferable dick and no jack ass, kids still play in the streets even with the cars but I wouldn’t expect a out of touch billionaire to even understand a bit of actual life and no, I don’t want your AI slop anywhere near my life.

      He also thinks there are one billion people on earth total. So between that and the invention of cars being in his memory, I think we can place him solidly in the mid 1800’s?

      Saburo Arasaka was born in 1919 in Japan… wait, sorry, wrong biography. This corporate villain was born in Taiwan in 1963.

    Turns out, if you don’t sacrifice cities on the car altar and plan for quality of life instead, children can in fact play on the streets. The Netherlands show it.

    I strongly suspect this jackal doesn’t predate cars.

    I also strongly suggest kids preferred not to play in the ditches we used to call streets before cars.

    Everybody should use _____. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When _____ came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

    Everybody should use guns. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When guns came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

    Everybody should use drugs. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When drugs came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

    I’m seeing a pattern here…only bad things work in his example.

      Are you trying to use guns and drugs as examples of bad things? Because I personally believe more people should have a certain amount of guns and allowed to experience a certain amount of drugs. If willing.
