I Thought We had Already Hired Them

The latest plan to improve mass transit is to hire slime molds:

Since the best city planners around the world have not been able to end traffic jams, scientists are looking to a new group of experts: slime mold.

That's right, a species of gelatinous amoeba could help urban planners design better road systems to reduce traffic congestion, a new study found.

This is very strange. I thought governments have been run by slime molds for years.

My earlier comments on slime molds can be found here, there, and yonder.
