Perhaps the people in power should invest in improving the education system so the peasants will be able to spell properly before they hang the people in power?

Well there were three dudes in the showdown at the end of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. But it's definitely referencing western showdowns in general.

And France is blocking importing solar energy from Spain. Also France has to do some shenanigans in Africa to secure their uranium supply.

Sure nuclear is far better than fossil fuels in terms of global warming, but it has similar geopolitical problems to the oil industry. It makes sense to go to solar and wind, but there's a nuclear industry that's doing the same kinds of things the oil industry does to block it.

The biggest nuclear reactor disaster in history was at a government run nuclear power plant. So you probably shouldn't trust the government with nuclear either.

Yeah and airplane pilots have to do a whole lot of training before they're trusted with flying.

And yeah, 100% agree on better public transit and more WFH. We've developed technology to do this but somehow people insist that we should all sit in moving metal cages surrounded by six lanes of other people in their metal cages every day so we can have a Teams meeting with the person sitting next to us in the office.

Yeah same thing that happens because of weather conditions. Not an emergency.

The biggest problem with flying cars is, well, have you seen how people drive?

It's stressful enough just crossing the street. But at least you know when you're doing it, look both ways, look around for idiot drivers. If there were flying cars you'd always be in danger everywhere.

Landing yes, it's kinda silly to try to implement arresting cables for landing anyway. Takeoff though? If the system is broken, well then takeoff is delayed, but that wouldn't be an emergency. Planes can't take off all the time because of weather conditions.

Trade Federation droids that are easily defeatable by a ragtag group of nobodies.

I thought they were defeated by a religious cult working for the government?

Thirteen is basically just three-ten, fourteen is four-ten, etc.

You need to ask OP. I'm just using "proper word" within the same context that OP is using.

Yeah, like a co-dependency on an alien symbiote.
