Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where ‘machines can make all the food and stuff’ isn’t a bad idea::“A society where you only have to work three days a week, that’s probably OK,” Bill Gates said.

    Walkable cities would be an absolute hellhole, but not for the reasons that conspiracy theorists are claiming. Packing everyone in densely enough to make everything walkable will be a hellhole.

    We need affordable options for transportation. Bad weather and the cold also require enclosed vehicles that can’t tip over.

      Have you ever heard of the concept of “cities”? Everything important is within walking distance in the capital of my country and if not there is great public transport.

      We used to have walkability. It was actually better than the car infested hellhole we are it right now.

      A lot of words to to express “I’m an American who doesn’t even have a passport.”

      Can’t even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it’s a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples’ actual everyday life. Yikes.

      The term walkable includes public transportation. It’s a multiplier on what locations are considered accessible without owning a car. Common misconception.
