    " To thereisnofreelunch: He does that to every article. In the world he describes nobody would ever work, nothing would ever get done, yet there would still be a huge influx of money into everyone's non-existent bank accounts since nobody would run the banks.

    I'm glad a transit system like this has started. Douglas is actually on the road to being modernized, albeit slowly. "
