Ironically, favoring public transport (which includes a good deal of walking) and bicycling is negatively impacted by the global calorie shortage, bringing us full circle.

I would think feeding corn to a human is more energy-efficient than turning it into biofuel and burning that in an engine, although now I'm curious exactly how the two compare.

Idk man I could lose 80 pounds. I’m optimistic.

Heh if you include the spare tire around most American men, we could do with a few years of calorie shortage.

Enclosed spaces with the general public in a still ongoing pandemic?

Also:

"In a recent survey, 99% of respondents felt everyone else should use public transit"

I'll concede that there's a point there. However - the world states with the best covid "performance" in terms of deaths/capita etc. have much better developed and widely used public transport systems.
