Mickey & Friends/Pixar structures absolutely jampacked today. The bumper to bumper traffic was actually backing up the 5 offramp and causing freeway traffic. Took Harbor instead, went to the Toy Story lot, and was on a bus in 5 minutes.

Billionaire Oligarchs could easily be replicated with AI simulations, but at that point you realize they're nowhere near as interesting to watch as sports, and we probably don't need the meatspace oligarchs at all.
