That would be a great app too. But it would need a supernatural phone to run it. One that reads your mind and analyzes the situation.

It wouldn't work though, because billionaires still have contacts, good education, etc.

He could have all the contacts in the world and the best education money can buy but none of it matters if he's getting minimum wage.

Except for getting people to let him stay with them closer to where he's working, having them sell him things cheaply, etc.

There's not a ton of reason to switch roads; it's not that useful to break up miles. Other everyday units would be far more useful.

I think you missed either the part about the many many roads we have, or the part where the UK is much smaller than the US.

Also the part where we (the UK) didn't quite switch to metric. Road signs are still in miles, people measure their height in feet etc.
