    No.

    Because I'm not under the self-important delusion that everything is part of a grand conspiracy out to get me.

    It doesn't ever matter to you people how obvious it becomes over time. Like three years ago when a ridiculous number of people seemed to beleive the policies then wouldn't result in the reality now, no matter how hard we tried to tell you.

    I have learned over the years that reasoned discussion is impossible at this point. You are firmly fixed on your opinions, and I am moderately fixed with mine, and the gulf in between is large.

    So I will simply bid you good day.

    which policies?? You just gonna shit out an example that is generic as fuck and doesn't actually shed any light on the bs you're trying to push?

    How the hell is a 3day work week result in open air prisons??????? You have to back this absurd claim up or literally everything else you say is fucking bullshit.

    Walkable cities would be an absolute hellhole, but not for the reasons that conspiracy theorists are claiming. Packing everyone in densely enough to make everything walkable will be a hellhole.

    We need affordable options for transportation. Bad weather and the cold also require enclosed vehicles that can't tip over.

    A lot of words to to express "I'm an American who doesn't even have a passport."

    Can't even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it's a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples' actual everyday life. Yikes.
