It is naive beyond description to think that having blocked this source of financial collapse, you have blocked all possible sources of financial collapse.

Traffic jams are just a symptom of this challenge, and they're really very, very inconvenient, but that's all they are.

Hi. I'm here to talk about congestion, namely road congestion.

Plugging the Leaks

Chile and the Third Wall

The wall is thirty yards long.

Road congestion is a pervasive phenomenon.

In 1966, a year before Israeli paratroopers ostensibly united Jerusalem, the composer Naomi Shemer sang of, the city that sits solitary, and in its heart a wall. Today, the wall dividing Jerusalem is not made of concrete or brick but that does not make it any less real.

There's a hole here, and I shut this.

I was delayed by a traffic jam.

Jonas Eliasson How to solve traffic jams

Traffic downtown is all backed up.

As with BP, the hole does get plugged, at least temporarily, but not before exacting a tremendous price.

MT Stuck in traffic. I'll be there soon.

You feel like you're climbing a wall of wood.

A fallen tree obstructed the road.

How can there be a traffic jam now, as late as 6 o'clock?

This classroom is separated from that one by a wall.

This is how it looks today all traffic jam.

It's like a wall to the electricity.

If you leave now, I'm sure you'll be caught in a traffic jam.

Frankly, four billion clean cars on the road are still four billion cars, and a traffic jam with no emissions is still a traffic jam.

And this is going to create the kind of global gridlock that the world has never seen before.

We got up at dawn to avoid a traffic jam.

The crack in the global consensus around the prohibitionist approach is widening. A growing number of countries in Europe and Latin America are moving away from a purely repressive model.

You really reduce congestion quite substantially.

Wrong again. It's now six and a half years ago since the congestion charges were introduced in Stockholm, and we basically have the same low traffic levels still.

After the storm, the road was blocked with fallen trees.

One simple solution would be to distribute the funds to governments, which could then decide how best to spend them in their countries. But the eurozone s rule against using the ECB to finance government spending bars this approach.

They're basically fouling up Earth's respiratory and circulatory systems.

It spreads out to be really thin, so you have a hard time corralling it.

The first day with the congestion charges looked like this.

And every night I go home, my commute is a total crapshoot.

What happens after you have the heart attack, this blockage?

Several brick walls were erected to separate the zone established for biological weapons production from the area of the vaccine production.

They're not going to clog up Earth's ecosystems. They work great.

Guests? Move the moving wall, have some fold down guest beds.

And then we wonder why the membrane clogs and why it takes so much electricity.

A father and daughter separated from a bicycle by a mysterious wall.

They're actually confident that they have liked congestion pricing all along.

They're relieving congestion, and they're frankly starting to save some fuel.

Here in Budrus, we realized the wall would steal our land.

We don't want to waste our time sitting in traffic, sitting at tollbooths or looking for parking spots.

We need that same kind of passion and energy to attack global gridlock.

If we don't hit the road soon, we'll get caught in the morning rush hour traffic.
