CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@graydon @cstross @mitch @lasagne @pluralistic so 3 or 4 then. Because LOL not 1, and please Eris not 2.
Can we at least pretend there's a possibility for some solarpunk utopia in there? Or is that the best-case version of 4?

@jon Had similar experiences with the pointless "1st class" in Stuttgart S-Bahn trains (a compartment behind the cab at one end -- no different from the rest of the train except for seat moquette). The only times I used it was with a first class long-distance ticket with "+City" option, or with the included 1st-class local network pass when staying at the InterCityHotel (when that was still a thing). Never paid for it expressly, and have never seen anyone else on these seats in several years.
