#1 Must be the token intellect. His bio includes -

His 1996 article, "Recycling Is Garbage," which called recycling one of the most wasteful activities in America, attracted a record number of letters from readers of The Times Magazine.

He is the author of "The Best-Case Scenario Handbook" (Workman Publishing, 2002), which explains, among other things, how to deal with a broken ATM spewing cash, how to accept the Nobel Peace Prize and even how to cope with a polite teenage child.

Stuff we all need to know!

#2 I would assume that an ATM spewing cash would involve ethical considerations, heh heh. Actually, from your card, they would know who made the jackpot withdrawl, and from the camera, they would get and ID or at least a picture. So you would not get the money. Best thing would be to call the Po-leese, as any witnesses, especially thugs, would be attracted to your transaction like flies on sh*t.

#3 Hmmm yes that's an effective strategy to convince people who don't want to leave.

But wasn't the real problem that many people didn't have the means to leave and the city failed to provide for them?
