Sad but true. Failed himan beings.

Sad but true. These people are stuck in the dark ages and want everybody else to get stuck there as well, preferably by force.

Exactly. Laws that criminalize stuff based on subjective judgments are just censorship. Prove significant harm in a scientifically sound way, ok. But this? No.

There is nothing "informed" about AI.

It can only make some plausible extrapolations and it can make these less well than a competent human. All the current hype AI has brought us is texts that sound good but often are bullshit and now pictures that look sharp but are not. You know, better sounding or better looking crap. Still crap.

2. No, it is not.

Indeed. Rail done well amortizes over decades and centuries. Obviously, short-term thinkers do not need to apply. Same as with all infrastructure, really.

Do not forget that in the UK, they are now scraping the bottom of the barrel regarding political "leadership". Apparently anybody non-stupid does not want political office in the UK anymore.

Obviously, countries that cannot do infrastructure do not have a bright future.

And how often, exactly, does that happen compared to distance travelled?
