NYC 2030 - Reality

NYC 2030 is what the politicians of today envision New York City to look like and operate as in the year 2030. 

The NYC 2030 plan goes in depth as to how we will use our land, keep our water supply, transport ourselves from point a to point b, obtain clean energy, improve our air quality, and reduce our global footprint to help subside the rise of temperature and possibly stop global climate change.

What the plan doesn’t go into is this: How will actual New Yorkers be physically? 

The answer to that questions is simple, most New Yorkers will be deaf and or cripples.

Need proof of my theory?  For that we need to first go underground to the subway system.  There we will find everything we need to know about New York City’s future large deaf population.

Keep an eye out for these little gadgets, the iPod, or better yet, just close your eyes and listen. 

On a crowded subway car you’ll be able to hear about a dozen of these things blaring music (usually of bad taste) into the ears of people young and old. 

Most people in NYC have a door to door commute of 30 to 45 minutes each way.  Multiply that by two, exponentiate that number by volume full blast, and your answer equals permanent hearing loss. 

Now multiply that by millions of NYC commuters in the year 2007 and your answer is millions of deaf NYC residents in 2030. 

Still with me?  Good.

Now for the future cripples.  Next time you step outside begin taking a look at what people are wearing on their feet, and try not to develop a foot fetish while doing so.

You’ll fast come to realize that most people who outwardly have the appearance of being someone that would likely be alive in the year 2030 (someone under age 45 now) is currently wearing these little numbers on their feet…

Flip flops…

Now take a look at the average flip flop that people have on.  You will find that most of these flip flops give zero arch support, and are only barely clinging onto the foot by either a thong (pictured) or a small strap across the toe joints. 

You might say to yourself that the person who is wearing the flip flop is just going for a short walk, but that is rarely the case in NYC.  The average New Yorker doesn’t utilize a car and walks miles upon miles on any given day. 

Each and every step that the individual pounds into the pavement without any arch support is creating the groundwork for awful foot pains that will fast become crippling to the point that any step, including with the use of arch support soles will create unbearable pain to the point of making the individual give up on the idea of walking anywhere, thereby creating the only way of mobility for these people who mistreated their feet to be a wheelchair. 

The NYC 2030 plan is a good one in theory, but we here at beehivehairdresser feel that the politicians should take another look at it, and set the groundwork to make NYC transportaion safe and quick for the masses of future deaf and cripples that will need to be easily mobilized throughout the city in the year 2030 - which weren’t taken into consideration when they wrote up the transportation chapters of the plan.

In either case, we here at beehivehairdresser look forward to seeing the huddles of people sitting in wheelchair circles together, and talking via sign language about the good old days - the days that they themselves used to ruin their very own futures.
