Not really, It was just a word. Assuming they were making mention of Swedens recommendations only approach, it’s still not a good argument because there are plenty of countries that tried similar methods and failed miserably (e.g. Brazil).

So your argument is that all technical advancement in the last 50/60 years is just marketing? That’s a pretty bold statement supported by literally nothing, just because you don’t feel like certain tech has added anything doesn’t mean

I agree that GPS and maps/directions are a magnificent improvement. I remember what it was like to get lost, and be lost for hours, late at night nothing open, no one but unsavory characters out. I remember how hard long trips could be

The issue with trying regulate this calamity is that this is inevitably going to lead to a bail out of this scam when it collapses. It’s worse than the rail road trusts in the 20s
