I currently live in a place where, when walking on the street, I routinely almost get hit by vehicles while crossing crosswalks with the cross light on.

However, I used to live in a place where every local driver did an 'after you' that included pedestrians, regardless of road rules, and generally drove the speed limit (and usually less).

Both of these places in the United States!

The latter is not impossible, just rare.

I don't think they're evil, but to say that consumers aren't the fish seems a stretch.

if you can't find something people want, work extra hard I guess

On smaller scales.

I suspect alignment to long-term profits weirdly solves it at larger scales, but that kind of unbridled greed is weirdly hard for large organizations anyway.

The thing it wants is usually continuation of certain hierarchies, and singular long-term goals toward anything tend to disrupt that.

what can I do with these really big tables?
