The network integration is done now. No more need for those guys.

I think adding lanes helps up to a point but after that just creates more problems. Here are a couple problems with adding lanes:

1. It assumes that everyone drives efficiently. For example, that everyone knows exactly where they're going and if they're in the left lane to go fast that they start migrating over to the right lane well in advance of their exit. But this is not true and instead causes people to panic swerve across 10 lanes while slowing down in order to get to their exit. Anyone who has been driving for a few years has seen this happen. Multiply this problem by the number of idiots on the road, and again by the number of exits. And having more lanes makes this a bigger problem because it has a higher capacity for more of these idiots to exist, and more "obstacle" lanes between them and their goal (not to mention more victims in those right lanes).

2. If you don't expand the lanes across all the exits from this super highway, traffic will still back up because the traffic cannot smoothly flow out to the rest of the city where people are trying to go. This backs up traffic on the highway itself. It's like having a clogged artery. And expanding those roads is not always an option if it's already in a heavily developed part of a city. If there's no room due to buildings, you simply cannot add lanes.

In addition to the zoning and walkability suggestion someone else made, I would propose that more alternate routes (even if not as direct a route) can help offload traffic especially at peak times, and is a much more feasible solution in the short term for our country that is built around private vehicle transportation. This is also an effective solution if you add tolls to one of those routes and increase the speed limit. It has the side benefit of funding other city projects, and acts as a sort of tax for people who want to go fast. The lazy implementation of this that I've seen in some places (including in Texas) is to add toll express lanes on the same highway. I see this as mostly a money grab but does not help much, if at all, with congestion. It's more like a streaming service raising their subscription costs just because they can.

I'm not really following. Can you explain why it would be better? I've never had an issue using GitHub.

This is just communism. Distribute wealth until everyone is equal. You don't even need to bring race into the equation to achieve the same results as being proposed here.

Looks to me like vehicle sales have been taking dramatically, probably due to the increased cost due to "supply chain". Also, EV sales grew 42.7% last year.

They already have Windows on your machine. What more can they get from you with Discord?

I thought Marvel's Secret Invasion had an interesting quote on this that I'll paraphrase: nothing makes humans stronger than uniting against a common enemy, but as soon as that enemy is gone, they always devolve into tribal bickering again. It'll be a miracle if we ever reach Star Trek levels of global unification and peace.

And that will remain true until education improves

I even typed up all the lyrics to all my songs.
