  • How what if we built a parkade? We could charge $40 per stall but have 10 or 20 times more cars in the same land!

    The sheer volume of cars would saturate the bridges and tunnels in and out of Manhattan, meaning that people would drive just to park, just to drive and queue to leave. The useless mindless illogical economic activity we would be creating would spike GDP so high! It would look great for the economy!




  • One point of correction:

    That isn’t how the 5 eyes actually works. It’s illegal for most countries to invade the privacy of their own citizens without a warrant since they have the equivalent to the bill of rights or a constitution or something similar.

    But… it’s not illegal for Canada to spy on the citizens of the other 5 eyes technically speaking (especially if nobody ever finds out…) you just blame discovering stuff on other legitimate surveillance methods, or you “get lucky” one day and catch a person you’re interested in by pure happenstance. Wow, would you look at that? They were criminaling while I was watching them.

    You scratch my back spy on my citizens I scratch spy on yours?
