Paul,

You'll get no argument from me about this. Yet, because it's much more
complex than traveling from point A to point B and has great importance for
society, the time and cost should be invested rather than ignored.

A big political blockage is that, as a society, we want government services
but don't want to pay for them with taxes. And I have no ideas how to change
this. :-)

Stay healthy,

Rich
