It's a great sentiment, but most poems don't impact society, unfortunately. Advancement and monetary gain do. Horse and carriage were no longer as profitable than motorized vehicles, so historically, pedestrians got the short end (figuratively and literally). Now we're in a society that is dependent on cars. And I'm in no way trying to criticize your opinion on saying "fuck cars", but it's a harsh reality of what society is right now. If we did away with cars and trucks, then it would shut trade down inside and outside a country. The economy would take a massive dip, and (IMO) would either be the start of another depression or would make the trade market bad enough to destabilize to the point where it's irreparable. Yes, some trade markets are not exactly necessary, but there would just be someone else to replace the merchants.

I agree with that, but that is not a reality atm

You're gonna have to help me out with your quote haha. Who said that?

I'm aware what community I'm in, and I'm trying to have a conversation with someone that has an opposing view to mine. If you think my intention is to be disrespectful or play the "gotcha" game, I'm not. Legitimately curious of your view and opinion

You mean supply and demand? Very aware of it. But induced demand in reference to roads only shows the idea of road expansion and more people take the road. What about alleviating congestion in another part of the city due to road expansion? What about travel time? What about travel distance?

Does happen regularly for you? I can't tell you if I've ever burped and hiccuped at the same time

I'm not saying anything about people being toxic. That's your own perceptions and expectations

You got the wrong office family haha. I've always had the belief that you should always have the life you live at work and the life you live at home. You're not supposed to take your work home with you and you should never bring your home to work. But that doesn't mean you can't be civil and conserting while at work. And I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with your mindset. We all perceive situations in different ways. But being earnest to your coworkers with clear social lines never hurts anything. You should be allowed to be very concerned about a coworker that has health issues, but on the same hand, it shouldn't dictate your home life or emotions when not there. I hope I'm explaining what I'm trying to say correctly.

I met this guy at work. It's a very long story, but the short and skinny is I was homeless and he and his mom gave me a home. I suppose he's more like a brother than anything else. They never asked for anything in return. He just wanted to hang out and get into shenanigans. And shenanigans we certainly got into

True. Me and a friend of mine used to work together and live together. Then we'd go home after work, get drunk and play video games just to wake up and do it all over. Granted thar was years ago.

I did work with my now wife at one point. But we never actually hung out too much when we were working together because we were management and she would always go hang out with staff which I wouldn't do
