I noted that when listening, but his many of his exaggerations greatly exceed that allowance. He is a fantasist wishfully thinking what he would like to happen will happen more quickly than is conceivable.
So am I Peter, and I'm very receptive of most things future. Note my previous harsh comment regarding our inability to knock down old useless buildings on often silly grounds that they have architectural or historic merit.
Perfectly OK with that and can accept that that such speed of change would bring more than few problems of its own - there's a lot of unemployment within those figures which make much of it politically, unacceptable. but, change there will be, certainly in the US and I think his direction of travel is accurate.
We might be better leaving it there. Solar semantically means deriving from that specific blob of hydrogen and other stuff some 93 million miles away. Stellar means from any star... Supernova.. an end stage for some stars and that brilliant piece of observational science of the collision of two neutron stars some weeks ago, is now confirmed as a source for a number of the heavy elements . But we have seriously veered off topic...
I'm quite sure that's true and most will be welcome. Some will be so far away in time from his predictions that it makes those utterances pointless. Some of his predictions relating to cars are undesirable in my view since he hasn't widened his vision sufficiently, seeing us still needing to travel about in cars all the time.
Not all bad, I said earlier "I will do short-term lease from now on, until I can call UBER to take me wherever. As an OAP, that really does change the future, and not just for me. It is empowering."
I noted that and saw the desirability for you.
Irrespective of whether or not it is Uber how can you possibly be so single-minded as not to appreciate the value in facilitating the elderly by allowing them to travel door to door easily? I might add I'm not ready just yet, but my neighbours certainly are.
This is quite radical in my view., just a touch backward facing - but you're joking of course. It would take a nuclear war that just about wiped out the planet to take us back a few thousand or so years for that to happen. Put another way no one would want that I'm sure, except you perhaps. We like our technology, love to travel to see and feel different cultures - no way!
I'm speaking of general direction of progress, not individual cases.
I think the argument has already been made for the success of the Uber business model? It reduces the number of journeys and the need for as many cars significantly.
That's an extreme reaction, I'm clearly not asking to return to the past, just aiming for one desirable factor from that past, as I said, as far as possible.
Tell London, we've banned UBER, removing their licence to operate. UBER no longer exists here.
Of course and we've seen the vision. Just need to add in the HS2 journey to take care of the longer distances, having gone to the station in an autonomous Uber vehicle. We need to go to the US once or twice a year with another trip to Australia. Next step is an 'Escape to the Country' but that is out of reach for most people?
They have been banned, licence removed and were put out of action for a while. They've now used the device of appealing at law to be able to resume operations meanwhile, pending the appeal outcome. Their CEO has apologised to TfL for the probeklms they've been causing that led to the ban, but TfL are contesting the appeal since UBER hasn't and cannot solve all the problems.
For what it is worth, you said - UBER no longer exists here. That is not a fact. Perhaps you would like to make one of your forecasts as to the position come the end of the year?
Given TfL's determination and the problems involved, theres a fair chance the appeal will be lost. However there are all sorts of possibilities, including the fact that when the USA wants its way in this country, it usually gets it.
