Who Am I To Call It A Metaphor? (Apparently, A Libertechbrotarian Series)

SFGate:
Muni service was restored Tuesday morning after an apparently bottomed-out tech bus blocked the J-Church light rail line at 21st Street near Church Street in San Francisco. Northbound and southbound Muni service was disrupted from roughly 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. after the bus was stuck trying to drive up 21st Street.
Needless to say, a swarm of nanobots directed by a sooper-intelligent friendly AI engulfed the tech bus and in no time flat removed the obstacle so that the fossilized socialist transportation line would remain available for the use of timid mehum sheeple prole multitudes too afraid of The Future to embrace the Big Data venture capitalist libertechbrotopia.

What they really need to do is figure out a way to disrupt those hills. They're sooper inefficient and burn off too many Soylent calories.

When we're all uploaded into VR, do you suppose virtual tech
buses will still get stuck across virtual trolley tracks?

Oh wait -- we're **already** probably living in a simulation,
right?
