Most stuff that gets posted here is just horrible and bleak shit, so here’s some catastrophically absurd libertarian brainworms instead.
And this is why I say we have a duty to make the cheap ones and fly them anyway. The laws which make this the case are equivalent to those which made people walk in front of early cars waving flags. Between our current fear of any risk, and the vested interests of the powers that be in existing transportation, the flying car will never happen until someone builds one anyway, and allows everyone else to follow in there footsteps.
This is why flying cars are one of my least favorite sci-fi tropes. Clearest example of just replicating the present world but in a futuristic way.
On that note, apparently flying cars are one of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises.
the flying car already exists! it’s called the hot air balloon, and it is piloted only by those of upstanding moral character.

My biggest related pet peeve is liberal sci-fi. When I’m reading a book about some way far-future people in deep space and they casually bring up money, or a recent war, it just completely takes me out of it. Like, motherfuckers, how did your species survive this long? Shouldn’t you have outgrown that shit by now?
