"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they've been fooled"

I used money as it's universally understood to demonstrate how absurd North America urban planning is.

But let's say for the sake of argument, you prefer non quantifiable qualities:

> Instead of visiting grandparents once per month (because 2 separate trains + a bus is pretty hard trip for someone with little kids), you could visit them every weekend.

Alternatively your grandparents can live within walking distance and everybody can see each other everyday or have spontaneous encounters on the streets

> Instead of only seeing wild animals in the zoo, you can see them in the forest.. and still have time for chores afterwards.

I'm not a woodsman but I'm pretty sure most wild animals are too dangerous for you to be close enough to have a zoo-like experience

> Instead of shopping at your local store, where every single yogurt has an added thickener, you can have a better food at a cheaper price -- and spend less time on shopping per week, too.

NJB conveniently has a video on this topic as well. Grocery shopping is no longer a 1-2h weekly chore and is just a quick 10 minute detour in your daily commute. The stores also have large variety of healthy produce and buying what you need immediately also results in less food waste.

>Why aren't dealerships just consignment stores for cars? That seems like it'd work out better for everyone involved.

It wouldn't be better for the dealership when you take into the fact that they are a dying business that literally everyone (car manufacturers, clients, etc.) hate. The only thing that keeps them in business is laws that were passed so f()cking long ago that your grand parent were not even born yet. The justification at the time were valid, they were helping protect consumers and tried to create a "fair" market place amongst car sellers. That was back in the pre-internet and for some people even pre-phone era. when society changed and they became a useless parasite, they never tried to innovate or adapt to the new reality, they just doubled down on their hostile model.

There is no long term future for most of them, especially not with EV cars that require less maintenance. If there were no laws protecting them, most of them would be gone and car manufacturers would let you buy direct from them online. None of the crap they force you to go thought would be tolerated if you could just pull your phone in front of the sales rep and buy the exact model you want on the spot at msrp.
Meanwhile, that's the size of the fines HSBC is paying for laundering.

Binance needs to be held accountable, but let's not pretend this is an outrageous number.
Modern Apple has shown very little interest in making their devices sharable or flexible in this way. If a new feature would make it less likely for you to buy and use multiple devices they probably won't implement it.
If I open my hypothetical safe once a month, I may not find out that someone has changed the code for up to a month.

If someone cuts it open with a dremel, I'll notice as soon as I happen to see it.
