Restock, reload, recover.

You sound pampered and pompous to me.

I don’t want to give away where I live but yes, there are trains which are much nicer than busses and even pleasant in their own right at times. That said last few few times I’ve taken it, it’s clear it’s not as well maintained as it should be, the time has been off, and it’s not nearly as clean as it could be either.

You’re right, because I live in a city with one of the better systems, and I still would take a car over using it given the option.

Yes.

Didn’t know that but that’s cool and helpful.

Straight up I disdain the majority of humanity drug users or not and hearing poors talk about how bad their lives are is depressing as fuck. Put it this way, I hate the poor so much I hate the rich for making them poor.

On that note of personal experience yes cars are dangerous but in a car I have control and my driving can make it a lot safer or dangerous and so far, my driving is safer than most folks I know. Knock on wood.

As an American, I hate busses and will drive over using public transport every single time.

I imagine in other places in the world, your public transport runs on time, is well maintained, and is clean. Here is such a hit or miss it’s anxiety inducing to the point the road is more relaxing and no, I can’t say public transport is safer given my personal experience.

God yes. I feel like I scratched the surface here because private equity is the problem but it gets so much weirder and worse with speculative markets.

With that I’m fine with unlimited at like, 76% tax rate.

When housing is not an investment, you have far less incentive to improve or maintain the land you are on because you don’t own it and whatever you do may be met with hostility.

I think the problem isn’t with home ownership, it’s with unaffordability perpetuated by private equity and how our culture doesn’t see property ownership as a human right but instead as a privilege.

If we made residential property ownership illegal for businesses and limited individual property ownership to say, 5 properties, we’d all be better off. Rich people should be free to own places but they shouldn’t be able to profit off of it so much they choke out the middle class and play fucking monopoly with everyone’s lives.

Bully them. The only way to deal with a bully is to show your strength.

You know how a lot of libs like to police language? That’s weak and only pisses off bullies. Instead, use their language against them. For example, a decent liberal would never do this but you can do more emotional damage to a maga and make a point they would understand by calling them a ‘regarded fage’ (paraphrasing because that is a ban worthy insult in many places online) over and over again than you ever could by using logic against them.

You might not like it, but nut shots and low blows work better.

My bad. At least that doesn’t change my point as tanks are that too.

When Miyazaki said the AI ghiblifier is an affront to art, I couldn’t help but think that before WW1, tanks were called an affront to horsemanship.

Republicans hurt the country and our reputation more than help it.

It’s bad enough the only way America can save face now is to stop this.

The Biden admin and Dems literally tried giving the majority of the people what they wanted and the Reps stopped them to make Biden and the Dems look bad and the irony is Biden and the Dems were ready to give the Reps what they’ve been asking for with the border and immigration for years.

We have first past the past voting here, this means we don’t vote based on who we like but rather who is the lesser of two evils.

It makes it easy for good and smart people here to support things like this, even if they don’t want to, because the alternative is worse.

Depends. Everyone who voted against Trump knows this and it’s probably why they did but most non voters and maga are still ignorant.

Fun fact, Solar City, a company owned by Elon musk, is infamous for signing people up for lengthy solar panel leases and refusing to repair them if they break.

Right now, without China, solar would be unaffordable by anyone but the rich in America.

Maybe but I feel I’ve made it worse sometimes too.

There’s a couple sayings. ‘The smart man sounds like crazy man to the stupid man’ and ‘You can’t win an argument with an idiot’.

As complex as it can be, it usually boils down to that or you just find out they’re rich, selfish, like control, and love schadenfreude.
