Ah, never mind.

Guy's house gets broken into, and the intruder(s) cleaned it.

Nice!

Kid opens beer stand. Neighbors call police.

Cops come and buy some bottles.

Heh, that's very sweet, but I don't think that old guy was entirely sure where he was, and I don't think I want him driving near schools.

Yeah.

Here's a thought.... when these ancient humans go through traffic court, if the local government doesn't provide public transport/bus service, have prepaid-Uber cards they give out as they pull their license.

Hell.... my poor, country-ass county has a small bussing service, I learned when my MIL lived with me. $10 gets you a ride anywhere within 2 counties, and it'll pick you up at your front door, if you call them. That's so cool, I always vote to continue/increase funding, when it ends up on the local ballot.

We have something similar in our town, for the olds. But I see it as a win-win, keeping them doing the things they need, and keeping them from trying to drive.

Pull those licenses like you're starting a lawn mower.

I was mostly pleased to see a likable judge.

This is very much win-win. I love this idea.

I would also tie in free internet training classes. Maybe even some "senior credit" for internet access/PC. Teach them there's nothing they can't have delivered and show them how to do just that.

Roads are safer and less congested. More people are employed.

The arguments against it will be:
-Make them use public transportation. It's cheaper and there will be even less congestion and pollution.
-Other, less senior, citizens will want the same benefit because they're greedy, lazy pieces of shit.

Politicians will never do it because they're afraid of losing votes. Seniors show up on voting day.

They don't bus a ton of seniors as they're more conservative.
