The traffic light conspiracy

Ok, I have been on this one for a while and each day I commute, I am reminded of this BS.

The lights at the intersections are timed out to make you not only hit red lights each time, but the yellow lights as well.

It frustrates me how people will drive the same commute each day for years and never question why they will hit each red light at the same time each day.

Does it really have to be this way? F-no! SO why would they do this on purpose? well....

1- They will often get you to hit a yellow light if you are doing the limit; this will generate more hard stops, incidents and tickets produced.

2- Starting and stopping are the hardest things on your vehicle, more brake pads, fluid, tires, wear and tear, etc

3- If "they" can make your five minute drive into a 15 minute drive, that is three times the gas being burned.

4- If they make you stop an additional 6 times on your way home, sitting at red lights while illuminated signs of mcdonalds, as well as liquor and whores and cigarettes are flashed before your eyes; odds are, you will pull over and spend money.

People laugh when I bitch about this, but it really drives me wild.

It is the same as in life. From a young age we are taught and trained to believe that the world makes good sense and that if we become educated and successful; we will come to understand why things are the way they are.

This is the greatest lie, shit does NOT make sense, and anyone who buys into this idea is lost.

"Oh our system is not perfect, but it is the best we have"

Bullshit! it is designed to fail, designed to perpetuate industrial expansion, consumption, waste; and ineffective infrastructure.

Next time you sit at that light, you think about it.
