You work a grueling three months on, nine months off schedule and all you get out of it is tens of millions of dollars. Those are the real heroes. Them and whoever figured out how to turn a cow into a McRib. Or the color orange into what could generously be called "cheese". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chew on a nice tin of tobacco instead. Sure you might get gum cancer, and sure the price may have gone up 25 times since you were a kid, but it's better than the alternative. Marginally.

We've been burning gas to make our cars go for over a century. Is it time for a change? Maybe. But what do we change to? Electric isn't great because of batteries, transmission, and generation.
