I've always wanted to explore traffic as capitalism in microcosm. Cars are the ultimate individualized transportation device, they compete for going faster to their destination, and that competition leads to a race to the bottom. Meanwhile the truly wealthy have better options like toll roads or air travel. But really the owner class doesn't need to rely on a daily commute to survive.

Like the fucking CEO of Starbucks commuting by jet from another fucking state. That's such an absurd situation that really just drives in and highlights the absolute lack of productive contribution from the owner class. When he decides to fucking show up for work 2 or 3 days a week from another part of the country, he just hops on the fucking company jet. Utterly ridiculous world we live in.
