Don't tell people what they should do. Maybe they work from home, maybe they don't work at all, what the heck does work ethic have to do with it?

"Don't tell people what they should do." The pure irony of your statement.

  There is no irony[1]. I never told people not to use waze, just pointed out the consequences of doing so at scale on existing political arrangements made in society. 1. Perhaps hypocrisy, is the word you really meant. Nobody knows what irony means anymore.

    Hypocrisy and Irony are very closely linked hand-in-hand, so closely in fact that the words can effectively be substituted for each other in this instance. It is hypocritical for someone to tell me to not tell someone what to do (and in fact, my 'telling someone what to do' was a suggestion, since voting is not a mandatory thing in the USA where I post from) since they are doing the same thing in effect, and it is ironic since they are effectively performing the very behavior they're wanting me to not do. I had the last vestiges of a 'good' education, where one could use good logic to explain the usage of a word not commonly used in such a manner. I attended the 4th best independent school district in the nation at the time. That district no longer exists and hasn't in true form for over 20 years. The students are now meth and heroin addicts. My hometown has the title of heroin capital of the USA because the amount of black tar exceedingly overwhelms the COMBINED shipments (calculated) of powder and crack cocaine FOR THE NATION, and has done this consistently since it was featured on Channel One news twenty years ago.

      Still no irony, sorry. Nor hypocrisy either. Your initial comment is being down-voted, perhaps because your post contained an irrelevant prescription for what people should do, and a broad generalization of what streets are 'for'. Should we all consider the matter settled now that you have told us what streets are for, and informed us that we should all be working?

        "a broad generalization of what streets are 'for'" Streets are designed for the flow of traffic. There has never been any other reason. Source: Former Memphis Civil Engineer. and I didn't mean should as in "Mandatory" but as in "should be at work at this point and time given typical work days." But people seem to be too quick to voice their opinion with a click instead of vocalizing it. Oh, yet here on the front page is an article trying to espouse the very virtue of LETTING SOMEONE SPEAK. That's pretty backwards and pathetic.
