Not just that, but it was true. We need more rail (which we had before the cars) and fewer cars (which a literal conspiracy attacked the rail to profit from.) Add a rail line, you have a ton of additional capacity on the same line. Add a highway, you need to expand it practically before you're done building it. And in this country, you need to expand it literally before you're done with the expansion, since we seem to be so shit at road work. Watching Japanese roadworks videos almost makes me weep.

No, troll. There's an entire class of fat cats, who ensure that justice is not done and funding is misappropriated. Save your clown shit for home week.

No, it's like trains which are actually good.

We've seen what utilization looks like on the BRT lanes in the UK... very low.

This is, of course, bullshit. There are vans which hold 14 passengers. You could also use minibuses, which have the same benefit... but frankly they are just prettier vans.

It starts off that way but winds up with ethnic hiring practices and nepotism..

Cheap labor becomes a thing of the past.

jobs.now has a database or these postings.

Most people wouldn't argue that Switzerland is a real country, recently with about 7 million people. Especially before the EU influence and the ending of financial privacy there.

Yet most or those same people would argue that half of US States couldn't each be an independent country because there aren't enough people.

Being neutral would benefit many of them in the ongoing hostilities.

So to be clear, you're functionally illiterate?

Yeah, but those two things are diametrically opposed. Slackware 2 was my first Linux. It didn't do anything stupid.

MacOS was made for him. The classic kind, with one button.

I used to use flatpak, but then it just spontaneously stopped allowing updates one day so I removed it rather than fight with it trying to fix it...

So that's why you refused to use Ubuntu already, because of Unity and Snap, right?

What relevance does that have to the experience of running Debian, which is what we're actually talking about?

Lightweight solar panels are flexible ones, and they are trash. No solar panels are especially heavy, though, on the scale of heavy trucks.

Yes, they all treat drivers like garbage, and pay them like trash.

The rich assholes who make the decisions deciding the roads don't need to be maintained is a problem. It's tempting to believe that they will want to maintain the system over which they have privilege, but they have shown time and again they have no interest in doing that.

Buses perturb traffic, they can't bypass without their own special lanes which are wasteful and expensive, they do massive amounts of pavement damage compared to enough vans to transport the same number of passengers, they can't fit into many neighborhoods and if they could the streets wouldn't be rated to carry their weight. They are used despite these massive drawbacks only for the exact reason which I described previously.
