It obviously doesn't make life more convenient for the 75,000 who die! | About those who die: it's somewhat random. Criminals on the lam may be killed, business men, little children, housewives, etc.
It allows you to get two and from work in 10 second rather than 45 minutes. Or, if you landed a top job 2 states over you could get there and back home by supper every day. it allows you to move your friends entire house in one trip as opposed to 10. It allows you more mobility. You could take your kids to Australia for the weekend, rather than the local fair, etc. That kind of convenience. | hmmm - tempting...so how many people would actually use this machine per year? | If we voted it in, millions.
