The good news is the Star in the Jar is just 20 years away. /s

I think the only reason we don’t have flying cars is government.
Too much freedom.
They’ve been frantically trying to force us all into trains and other forms of public transportation.

Yeah, did you ever wonder what was on the ground in the Jetsons cartoon? I mean, all the buildings were up in the sky on towers, and they never showed the ground.

They never had anything but white people and robots, either. Hmmmmm...

OMG JETSONS = ELYSIUM!!

In the meantime we have the long developed technology for building thorium reactors relatively cheaply and small enough for one to be installed in the basement to power an apartment building. The Chinese are building thorium reactors. we are kowtowing to the degrowthers.

Those will be reserved for a favored few and legislated out of reach, just like general aviation aircraft are today.
