this alone to me is ridiculous beyond words. So you not only take the plane, you also drive your own car to the airport. You drive a car. Now you have a problem. Here in Berlin it's 38€ per day to have your shit precious car wait for you at the airport. It's cheaper to take a taxi at that rate.

Anyway, solid first-world problems here.

Yeah, we're pushing it hard, and we try to lie to ourselves about convenience and whatnot, and we give a damn as for the fragility and complexity we create with our fancy systems. Way to go.
