Self-driving cars (well, golf carts) & self-writing paragraphs don’t seem to give too many passenger(pigeon)people pause. Implied question answered, eh?

But it has always been so.

S/he’s “driven,” have the admirers said for so long. Despite that clearly being synonymous with s/he’s Miss Daisy, passenger, most admired the “agency” of it.

Miss Daisy, from a passenger berth, telekinetically drives, too!

And Morgan Freeman? Can you fill in that blank with some guesses?

Mobility, mental & ‘slower-traffic-keep-right’, is being restricted, ratchet-click by ratchet-click, (We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick) But the crowd called out for more … still/always calls out for more.

Amazing spectacle (it once was … now, just tragicomic).

From Cormac McCarthy’s The Counselor:

The Commitments (to what is the rhetorical?):

Debt is not wealth. You will lease everything & be happy is not wealth. Not even in Naples.

Midas Touch Ages Midas, too, eventually - & good damn riddance, except that those bad pennies never stop re/turning up.

Tiresome, these recapped retread tragicomedies, can be.

Or you can inner-child the empty containers, play with them.

Depends on how you’re configured. Which is done at the factory, like Elon’s “cars.”

And like e & the other (gre)e(ds) have designs on doing to you.

“Self-driving.”

In The MatriX marks the wet spot you will ever more be "happily" floating in.
