        When trying to improve a warplane, they were looking at the planes that returned and reinforced the parts that had bullet holes, until someone remarked they should reinforce the parts that didn’t have holes, insinuating that if a plane was hit in those places it couldn’t have returned to be inspected, since they were the actual weak spots and would have been shot down.

    The car’s alright, because it disincentives car culture just that little bit (even if it hasn’t led to good public transit in most of the US), and because they’re about a billion times safer.

    Everything else is bullshit though.

    But then I remember that car now means light truck in the US.

    Set it all on fire.

      even in the best-transit-places, the transit here sucks.
