Exactly. And for each cost-savings attempted during the 20th Century, there were 
lobbyists and saboteurs who thwarted it. For example, Henry Ford tried to start 
a new fab for electric cars, right in the middle of the Model T era.

The new fab had a mysterious fire. Prescott Bush, in the same region, was Big 
Oil's chief fixer back then. 'Nuff said.

It's not the technology doing it, folks - it's the lobbyists and corruption. Our 
current infrastructure is such a distorted miasma we don't even understand how 
clean and efficient it could easily be.

I want a driver, too. But something "happened" to the mass transit system where 
I live (socal)...
