Yeah and airplane pilots have to do a whole lot of training before they're trusted with flying.

And yeah, 100% agree on better public transit and more WFH. We've developed technology to do this but somehow people insist that we should all sit in moving metal cages surrounded by six lanes of other people in their metal cages every day so we can have a Teams meeting with the person sitting next to us in the office.
