Except in this case a better analogy is that they went with the best stereo they could afford and it turns itself off without even playing.a full CD.

Both the US and Canada minimize the amount they spend on public transit. The argument wasnt that it wouldn't work if they spent more. The argument is that it won't work for the same or lower price which is what governments are looking for.

I'd bet that Finland is willing to pay more per capita than Canada.

I don't. I just can't rule out anything that hasn't been disproven.

So people should be retrained to pick up garbage off the street?

Pretty sure most of the women you know take the bus.

So I just found out that Moscow only goes down to -9, so there you go.

But if they have to take the electric buses of the road the instant it hits -20c, we wouldn't know. No reason to think they don't have the same challenges with cold that Canada does.

But they are doing more towards a finite point. Their capability is not infinite.

So let's change the discussion. If you feel computers are capable of mystical behavior, what other inanimate objects are? Can a travel alarm clock or a calculator be mystical?

Well I can tell you almost certainly that the UKs expectations on what to spend on public transit are a lot higher than what Canadian cities have to spend. Over there public transit is viewed as a necessity, over here it is viewed as a last resort. Also do temperatures fall below -30c in the UK? As for Russia, who knows if you can even trust that number.

I absolutely drive an SUV for handling in the snow. Small cars can easily get taken by ruts in deep snow.

None of that is false, why does it matter where it comes from?

Please tell me your evidence that dopamine does not shape thoughts and that affects of hormones do not affect human thinking. It seemed to me that they effect human thinking a great deal. Van Gogh's bipolar disorder drove his art. People kill due to schizophrenia, etc.

But what market do you follow? Do you set the wage at what it would be if only Americans were allowed to take jobs at American companies? That would probably be three times what it is today.
