I'm not saying it's not nice work. I'd love to do what he does. All I'm saying is that he gets a bit annoying at times. > did you catch him on 60 minutes last nite? > Drive 20% less , you'll save bucks and the fat cat OIL guys will suffer [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > g adds. > MONEY , what a concept 50 bucks says that Andy travels in private jets and burns more fuel in a year than I will in 10. > 50 bucks says that Andy travels in private jets and burns more fuel in > a year than I will in 10. My bet is you are 100% correct in stating that. At least, it would be if I were saying it. > > did you catch him on 60 minutes last nite? > > Drive 20% less , you'll save bucks and the fat cat OIL guys will [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > 50 bucks says that Andy travels in private jets and burns more fuel in > a year than I will in 10. saw him get off an American Airlines flight.......... buy me lunch. > > did you catch him on 60 minutes last nite? > > Drive 20% less , you'll save bucks and the fat cat OIL guys will [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > 50 bucks says that Andy travels in private jets and burns more fuel in > a year than I will in 10. That doesn't mean his suggestion is a bad on.

We have a perfect right to fly and drive. We've paid for it. If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't have to sit with their engines idling for long periods during their daily commutes. > If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to > relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't have > to sit with their engines idling for long periods during their daily > commutes. We already have; it's called the "information highway". Someday hopefully companies can "trust" their employees enough to let them work from home. They seem all to anxious to trust foreign countries, why not us? >> If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to >> relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't have >> to sit with their engines idling for long periods during their daily >> commutes. >We already have; it's called the "information highway".

No american telecommutor is going to be willing to work for fifty cents an hour. >>> If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to >>> relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The answer is simple.

They would get 50 cents an hour if they did the same job they drove all the way downtown to do? >>>> If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to >>>> relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> The answer is simple.

Plenty of people, myself included, telecommute, and certainly not for fifty cents an hour.

Because they pay those foreigners about 1/10 of what they would pay an American. > > If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to > > relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't have [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > They seem all to anxious to trust foreign countries, why not us? > not every employee pushes paper. >> We already have; it's called the "information highway".

If we keep the ones home which did, however, the congestion problems would be greatly relieved. > If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to relieve > rush hour congestion Which does not work in the real world. In the real world, if you build a new road, or widen an old one, it causes diminishing returns. Eventually the new road gets filled up. > If you want to lower gas consumption, start building freeways to > relieve rush hour congestion, so those thousands of people don't have > to sit with their engines idling for long periods during their daily > commutes. I'd bet outlawing stupid f.cking tollbooths would reduce consumption by about 5% in itself. Andy Rooney gives me gas! If everyone properly inflated their tires, mileage would improve with a subsequent reduction in fuel usage. Andy Rooney gives me gas!
