No! It's not the bedrock at all. The deeper theories are quantum field theory and general relativity. Newtonian physics is just a good approximation to those, sometimes.

Oh I totally get how cars have immense costs (building roads, using space, pollution...), as you say, and that walking is cheaper to society. Are all four of the stats here factoring in the cost of the traveler's time? That sounds like a much harder stat to compute

How does walking cost you a dollar? The others I get, but walking is free, right?

Songkick is really good for this! You can put in locations to track and connect your Spotify, then it'll tell you when bands you like are in town. Works well for me!

The sentiment really chaps my ass as a former engineer because technology has already saved you! It continues to save you again and again and again - the miracles of vaccines and wastewater treatment and a thousand other things are the bulwark holding back an incredible amount of suffering

Maybe I'm missing something, but is that a bad thing? To me it makes sense that a city should have control over its ports and crossings, no?
