"So what can be done to reinvigorate the Lift? The answer can only come from the Lift itself, and the prognosis is not good - for as long as it continues to serve only those within its cold embrace rather than offering a coherent vision to society, it will remain irrelevant to the majority of humanity."Sure, it’s easy to sneer at lifts. But he couldn’t be more wrong. Krugman himself praised the Lift as “still the most effective mass-transit system yet devised.”
As the poet Aerosmith put it:
Love in an elevatorAnd how true that is. And never more so than today. Those who oppose the Lift will be left behind, in the dustbin of history.
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground... [my italics]
