I would argue California has a huge Somebody Else's Problem field. Much of California public services are provided by local taxes. I'm not sure about Japan, but if it's anything like Canada then much of it provided at the st

I'm a Canadian who moved to SV. I, personally, would have preferred to stay in Canada but finding a job is a right pain in the ass. American companies will fly you in on their dime, while Canadian firms won't even give you a phon

It's a recent trend to board front-to-back. This way, the first class cabin/priority sections get first dibs on the overhead bins while the people in the cheap sets get play Tetris meets Sword of Damocles.

Perhaps, but would the air traffic be any worse than road traffic? Say you had 5 flight levels each direction, so 10 'levels' in all. Would we have more than an order of magnitude more flight traffic than road traffic? I would a
