I actually kind of get bored by parades, but I wouldn't mind sitting up on a dias with a shotgun and every time I fired off around the people in parade would have to cheer and throw their hats in the air. Then I would sell their hats in ebay.

Ok, I'm honestly very serious about environmental regulations and companies being strong-armed into cleaning up after themselves and would be a total dictator about it.
But since I'm sure most everyone agrees with that, my contribution to our new fascist ilxorland would be enforced American (& state) flag display. Flags are pretty fascist right? I fucking love flags and now you're gonna fly 'em!

I know people who have this weird irrational anger, a couple years on, that there were bike lanes added to this street near my home. It used to be a clusterfuck of lanes, parking, and unpainted lines as the city decided what to do. It was either a four lane road (two in either direction) plus occasional turning lanes, or three lanes with parking, or w/e. Now it's mostly two lanes of traffic, a center turning lane for about half the length of the road, and two bike lanes. There's also lots more parking.
The only real thing a driver had to learn was that there is a turning lane for right turns where you cross the bike lane into what is usually the parking lane. It's easy, you look for bicyclists, then merge over when the lane has a dashed line. People RAGE about this. Note that this entire stretch of road is 1.5 miles. A mere two blocks up the hill is a four lane road with next to zero traffic, so if you really wanted to avoid this, you could go up there. All of the numbers so far indicate that shops along the stretch are making more money, the number of accidents has gone down, and there's more foot traffic.
I DON'T GET IT.

I think the rage comes from the fact people want to take the most direct road, drive as fast as they possibly can, and not have to actually look for things near the road. We have places where you can drive like that, they're called suburbs.

three or four day work week whatever makes most economic sense but you ~have~ to directly contribute to the construction of entire cities designed by rem koolhaas (maybe) and the organization of massive rio de janeiro style carnivals for the entire population.
