I suggest the next time we host any high-profile dignitaries that they be required to use a helicopter to move between locations to prevent disrupting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for days, or even one day — the vast majority of us whom could not care less about their presence. The idea of “take a sick day,” “just stay home,” or “work from home” is ludicrous. Those ideas aren’t an option for too many people. The idea of shutting down freeways and blocking off sections of cities and creating “traffic apocalypses” is just insane.
