    That’s how you prevent people improvising their own way.

    No, that’s how you completely destroy anyone’s ability to get anywhere…

    Because no one would ever want to wait, so they’d constantly be widening every path.

    Like, how often do you think an NFL game is even played at this one location?

    And who’s paying for it?

    Does the hotel have to pay for it? The stadium because that’s where people go?

    The entire community they taxes even though they’d be the last ones to utilize a bridge that goes from a hotel to a stadium? They’ll already have to deal with the major road closure to build the sky bridge no local will ever use

    Like, I understand the spirit of your point and that’s it’s coming from a good place, but you don’t understand any of what goes into just this one narrow aspect that slightly inconviences maybe a couple thousand out of town era 8 days out of the year.





  • The cautionary stories came about with the era of bored housewives who drank heavily and took pretty heavy prescription drugs…

    But they were also wealthy so rather than say OD or suicide they “fell asleep” in the bath.

    And I’m sure more than a few murders got wrote off as the same thing. A housewife that habitually passes out deeply could just got tossed in the tub.

    Because like you said, no sober person is staying asleep till they drown.

    But people hear the cover story and believe it, so they warn people about something that just won’t happen

    Essentially the story is angels were god’s original creations. Perfect beings built to serve.

    But that was boring so god created humans and withheld knowledge from them, and commanded angels to serve at human’s beck and call, even tho the humans were complete idiots who lived a life of luxury free of any worry.

    Lucifer was basically Prometheus and “tricked” humans into learning stuff.

    Then God threw Lucifer, the humans, and a couple other angels out of paradise because humans weren’t dumb pets anymore.

    And somehow that makes God the good guy in the story.

    Personally it always seemed like God was a dick and Lucifer had our backs, but that’s why I didn’t have to keep going to CCD as a kid
