So, now that the worst has happened and our auto companies are collapsing, are we allowed to switch to a green transportation economy?

@evan Don't be silly, we must prop up the automakers to compete against cyclists, which are using the roads automakers paid for for free!

@evan I'm ready for solar-powered jetpacks!

Actually, I was born ready.

@evan "now that the worst has happened" I really can imagine worse happening than collapsing car companies.
-
@walkah just realized your diso connection... would love to connect and chat.

@m1 It's the scenario that eco skeptics used to scare people away from going green. And now it happened anyways.
-
@evan Yep. I think it is more important to tell people that their tax money is rapidly shoveled into the pockets of the uncontrollable big.

@evan Sure. You have a bike, right? http://2tu.us/g73

@markjaroski I'm torn over this Big 3 business. I both love cars and hate them at the same time. And we're planning to move to Portland.

@frankenspock The only kind of car I can stand is a rented convertable, and then only somewhere really scenic.

@markjaroski I have driving genes, though. My dad was a race mechanic and gearhead savant. My whole early life had "GM" stamped on it.
-
@frankenspock Then you're set! Everyone who moves to Portland get issued their own fixie when they cross the city limits.
-
@evan I think that might be true, actually. Or you're stamped with a Portland Streetcar code on your forehead.

@frankenspock and @evan When you live in Portland, you are required to have both a bike and a dog. If non-compliant, you must move.

@robynfantastica I think also a studded leather wristband.
-
@evan I have one of those already.

@frankenspock Pulling even with a car at the light I told the driver he had bad valves (blue smoke). Dad taught me well.

@evan And a coupon for knee surgury.

Dear the Eminent @frankenspock How imminent is this impending Portland relocation.
-
@mishka Probably not this year.
