A month ago during my trip to California, I posted about my first rides in a driverless car, a Waymo. (You can read that post HERE)
This morning on the local news, I saw that State Senator Jeremy Cooney, who is chair of the Transportation Commitee, got the Waymo company to bring a car here to show people that they are not robot killer cars.
State Senator Jeremy Cooney is local, so I wonder if maybe a mutual local friend or a Facebook algorithym showed him my blog post, and he said to himself, “Damn, that’s cool. I’m going to get those space cars in New York and everyone will love me.”
Next year when he’s running for re-election or Governor, he’s going to tout this and it’s pretty doubful he’ll mention my blog, but mark my words, in idle conversation with friends and family, I am taking full credit for all his future political success. When he’s elected President, I expect that I will be his Vice-President. If I’m not, I’m going to reveal that his political success is in was built on my idea. That seems reasonable, right?
I hope you’re all having a great weekend! Thanks for reading! ~Phil
I hope you remember your loyal readers when you reach high office. If there’s a Department of Woodchuck Management? I’m ready to serve my country.
Lol, of course I’d have room for you in my White House. I’d hate to see all those woodchucks mucking things up!
