@TheEconomist Being from the SF Bay Area, I am most struck by the lack of traffic jams.
@TheEconomist @BevVincent Having lived there for a year, there was not nearly enough traffic in this video!
@TheEconomist The US has been in steady decline ever since we let women drive.
@TheEconomist Now let's abolish the burka and other head coverings
@TheEconomist @JeremyCliffe Christ almighty why are we celebrating this. The women still have to cover their heads and get a male relative to give permission for them to go abroad etc. Alahua Akbar - not!
@TheEconomist Let’s not forget that media can make something good, positive, ... to look very terrible in the eyes of the general public! #mediaInfluence
