#highway

Closing in on 8pm. Pastel skies, waning day, after sunset. An unexpected moment of clarity, golden fields, endless meadows next to the concrete and steel of an almost empty highway. Hills disappeared behind a while ago. Out in that nowhere again, familiar names, but no stories to share, no places to remember here. Briefly passing by.

"Bicycle is the slow #death of the #planet."


A banker made the economists think this when [they] said:⁣

“A cyclist is a #disaster for the country’s #economy: [they don't] buy cars and doesn’t borrow #money to buy. [They] don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the #car serviced, and no repairs needed. [They don't] use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.⁣

[They are] not getting obese.⁣

Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the #medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors.⁣
They add nothing to the #country's #GDP.⁣

"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the #people who #work in the store itself."⁣

Choose wisely: a #bike or a #McDonald's? It's something to think about.⁣

PS: #walking is even worse. #Pedestrians don't even buy a #bicycle!

Ich binge den channel jetzt schon ein paar tage.. Ich mag ja generell so "expat" perspektiven.. Expat is nur das falsche wort.

Also hier die perspektive eines deutschen kfz ing. der nach kanada auswanderte um berufsfernkraftfahrer zu werden:

Bob Dylan ~ Highway 61 Revisited

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhrtdQ9i-A
https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/how-bob-dylan-made-rock-history-on-highway-61-revisited-249576/

"Like a Rolling Stone" "Tombstone Blues" "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" "From a Buick 6" "Ballad of a Thin Man"
"Queen Jane Approximately" "Highway 61 Revisited" "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" "Desolation Row"

#Highway61Revisited is the sixth studio #album by American singer-songwriter #BobDylan, released on August 30, #1965. Having until then recorded mostly acoustic music, Dylan used #rock musicians as his backing band on every track of the album, except for the closing track, the 11-minute ballad "Desolation Row". Critics have focused on the innovative way #Dylan combined driving, #blues-based #music with the subtlety of #poetry to create songs that captured the #political and #cultural #chaos of contemporary America. Author Michael Gray has argued that, in an important sense, the #1960s "started" with this album.
Leading with the hit song "Like a Rolling Stone", the album features songs that Dylan has continued to perform live over his long career, including "Ballad of a Thin Man" and the title track. He named the album after the major #American #highway which connected his birthplace of #Duluth, #Minnesota, to southern cities famed for their musical heritage, including St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, and the Delta blues area of Mississippi.
