  • This is interesting to me. Drive through isn’t very popular in the UK, I think there’s a few KFCs and maybe McDonald’s/burger king.

    But driving is such a pita I might as well cook or buy something from a supermarket if I’m going to do anything active.

    Unless I’m on the way back home from a commute perhaps? I don’t really understand the business model. Also, what’s wrong with parking and walking in to get it? Leaving the engine running and crawling forwards to a window and then waiting anyway, I don’t get it.



  • Interesting, and appears well researched. I’m not sure if any of this shows “collapse” rather than just evolution or uncontrolled drift/change.

    The examples of the implementation details in the US education system seem to be more a complaint of money driving decisions, but this isn’t seen anywhere near as starkly in other countries. Free or low cost education is quite available in Europe and elsewhere, for example.

    Automating away housekeeping work is an interesting point. As is schools as daycare. Both are freeing up (mostly women) to add to the workforce, so it becomes increasingly clear that schooling and childcare should be cheap and available if this is the model that’s desirable. That is, equality in the workplace.
