As the symbiosis between imagination and creative content merge with fact, the idea of what is “meant to be” exists in murky waters clouding the resilient foundation of sensibility.
What is considered normal has been made taboo and ostracized by strategic activism, affecting everything from the degradation of the family unit to rampant volatility within the framework of once stable traffic patterns. The art of dancing and interaction now idles in confusion, hiking in many cases is a public relations stunt for lucrative ideology, and biking is now formidable force encompassing DIY economic sanctions.
The nation’s roadways are now a potential carnival freak show bloodbath as gangs of electronic bikes, scooters, day walkers, dog performers (and their owners), and the scantily clade provide additional distractions for drivers who can barely execute a left turn in barbequing a T-bone steak accident in a traffic intersection of insurrection. The scorn from the non-native natives is evident as insurance rates skyrocket and vehicular grille guards purchased via Amazon endorse the campaigns of Hollywood publicists under the influence of bath salts (BSI) plow into a snarky crowd of Long Island socialites lingering on the sidewalk in front of a swanky restaurant on a sultry East coast Summer evening. Hold the appetizer.
The streets have decayed to a dystopian level of concrete existence as the operators of battery powered transportation devices whisk through urban centers and suburbia unencumbered in a delicate embrace with climate change, while the harsh truth of entropy questions the fate of the energy sources for the vehicles once the cells are worn and torn. The current nursery rhyme peace movement chant and chorus begins “rare earths, Thoriums and flora, where have all the flowers gone?”
As midnight basketball in the gym or lingering in their mother’s basement trains kids to function without sleep, the hazards that now face drivers of all skill levels on the roadways are grossly unaddressed as states are afraid of lost revenue when not embracing the electrical energy lust of the Green New Deal movement and a tragically dramatic divorce from fossil fuels as sustainability endures a torture room somewhere within the “stans” of Central Asia. Al Gore and his followers and his investors are pugnacious in their love and lust for battery powered devices and tantrums of allergies to traditional energies encompassing reliable fossil fuels. The indispensable toxicity meets entropy in a battle not worthy of an alleyway battle to the death.
The street racers on e-bikes with pedals rarely used, hurtling through traffic at forty miles per hour are a mere surface level transgression to a fundamental problem and an example of a universal allocation of enablement cojoining with an intolerable generational scam. Somebody is going to get hurt for the sake of inept worship of environmentalism and the quest for speed in the absence of checks and balances that do not compromise free will, but protect the two party system of the roadways dictating the ebb and flow of cars, buses and bikes underlying dismay and the rule of law and public safety. Gig economy cycling has reached a cleft of weaponization capable of vaporizing the contemporary.
With the introduction of self-driving and self-biking vehicles to the infrastructure of transportation ranging from quiet neighborhoods to busy thoroughfares, the recipe for safety is a corrupt distortion of commonsense lacking intangibles and embracing ambiguity. In cities in blue states such as San Francisco and Seattle, the prevalence of two wheel devices is even influencing policy as the development of a network of trails threatens light industry and supports increased property valuation as politicians favor the proceeds of heavy taxation.
As the Information Age has arrived in full force, micromotors and batteries facilitate recklessness and the addictive aftermath of instant gratification on a world where simply getting there has become passee and arriving has become a deformed quantity of everyday life. Politicization of personal travel is at the cusp of setting a dangerous precedent with the plug and play model making fortunes for all the wrong reasons.
