    No one will punish you for not returning the cart

    My opinion on this is reason number 8735 why I will never, and should never, be in charge of a country.

      I too have thousands of reasons why I shouldn’t be in charge of a country, however I do have one good pitch.

      My appointment to dictatorship would be guided solely by autism. I guarantee my powers will only be focused upon my two fixations that deal with the general public, trains and healthcare.

      If made supreme leader I will not only make the trains run on time, there will be more trains, more hospitals, we would even have trains that can take you to your job at the hospital. I would shape the perfect world for me, and vicariously a more efficient and safer world for you.

        Why not put the hospital in the train? Instead of taking the train to the hospital, the hospital comes to you

          Imagine if there was a train to the hospital that also did triage.

          So you get on the hospital line and a nurse determines if you need urgent care. They could take you to a less crowded hospital further down the line or dispatch paramedics to next stop.

          Tbh, I would love to see it. But our railway infrastructure is dog shit atm, and we wouldn’t be able to expand the network fast enough to accommodate something as luxurious as a railway hospital until much later.

          My first goal would be to expand the network to the point where cars are unnecessary for the vast majority of my citizens. This would both increase rail traffic to acceptable levels and help alleviate the unnecessary healthcare cost and harm of motor vehicle accidents.

          Become my peon, every peon gets healthcare and can apply to drive an electric train. Me -2024

          Because that is essentially what an ambulance currently is, and it conveniently comes right to your house, park, or business where you are dying. There are very few immediate life-saving measures that can be done at the hospital and not in the ambulance. Ambulances with paramedics are referred to as MICUs for a reason.

      I often think about how much better the world/ my local area would be if I was allowed to taser people at will for things like that. 😀
