I would never buy a car. it's way too fast. you cannot ensure safety going faster than walking pace. we had horses for centuries and we were doing just fine. people might arrive at places faster than if they went by horse, but the price for the environment is just too high burning fossil fuels! it's highly immoral and despicable. that's why I hate AI... I mean cars.
@mangeurdenuage @kaia the problem with trains is that it's incompatible with niggers

@hakui @kaia @mangeurdenuage Not every country has niggers, yet.
The problem with mass transit is that under like 300km, even a well built network, will always be slower and less convenient than a car unless you purposely cripple or underbuild your road network.

@matrix @kaia @mangeurdenuage all the smugass posts about highways and "just add another lane bro" are talking about burgerland, which leans so heavily into cars specifically because people want to get away from niggers
@hakui @matrix @kaia @mangeurdenuage You should also read the slick news articles about how well the Brightline train has gone in the USA. Spoiler alert: it's like those Indian train memes. They've even got the "photo of a mom holding her dead kid" trope.

@hakui @matrix @kaia @mangeurdenuage dude I'm not even joking so many brightline news stories are "some impatient retard tried to beat the train and crash, here's why it's the trains fault" because they stopped showing people videos about this shit in drivers ed (or they were on their phone)
@PurpCat @hakui @kaia @mangeurdenuage @matrix also high speed trains are far faster and quiter then the old ass clunkers most people are used to since Americans aren’t used to tech more advanced then an iPhone.
@hakui @PurpCat @matrix @kaia @mangeurdenuage then you die when a nigger with a Nissan merges without looking anyway.
@hakui @PurpCat @matrix @kaia @mangeurdenuage I’ll bump up my commute by an extra hour to live in the even more expensive area and still need to drive past them for work.
@matrix @hakui @kaia @mangeurdenuage idk have you ever dealt with commutes in the US? I can’t even walk to places less then a mile from me evacuate there are no crosswalks and stop lights are built for pedestrians. It takes around 40 minute to an hour to drive 18 miles during commute hours. Plus you miss out on a ton of socializing as a young person as no one wants to wait 30 minutes for you to drive to them whenever they plan something and you can’t drink much if you need to drive back anyway.

@KaiserKitty @kaia @mangeurdenuage @hakui No. The US is a bit of a extreme case where simply way too many people drive and in general you design your infrastructure in a very retarded ways, but that doesn't sound much longer than here. In a morning rush hour 13km takes about 30-40min by car, 15min without traffic. Mass transit takes 45min either way simply because it doesn't go p2p and I have to transfer.

@matrix @KaiserKitty @kaia @mangeurdenuage @hakui If the mass transit does go from place to place near-perfectly, then it's great though.

@matrix @hakui @kaia @mangeurdenuage
Trains have a last mile problem. There's no easy way to get from A to B if the last mile is going to take you 20 minutes and the train ride is going to take you 50 but you could have gotten there in 45 if you had just driven.

@mangeurdenuage @matrix @kaia @hakui
I absolutely agree that they have been destroying the infrastructure, but it does change the fact that you still have to have a supporting vehicle infrastructure to go the last mile, otherwise people are walking half an hour to an hour just to get to a train station at times.

A bus and a train are just transportation methods, you aren't allowed to own or operate at times when you need them.

@mangeurdenuage @matrix @kaia @hakui
You clearly haven't dealt with unions. They will shut crap down just because they want two more minutes for lunch break.

All of them are the same, and I've directly dealt with the internet unions in America. They're legally only allowed to flip so many switches in a day.

Train unions have gone on strike because they wanted to do one less stop every day.

Wait until you take a look at maintenance unions. Never mind government contracts.

Last time I interacted with the said people, they were asking for air vents for in their dildo hardening factory because of the cancer rates exploded five years after they started a new chemical treatment.
Totally not corrupt doctor who was permanent there said it was not necessary so it kept going as such, until five years later even the doc got cancer and actually joined the union.
In between half of the staff that worked on the chain died of "natural cancer".

There's a balance to everything imo.
If corpos don't revert to pre Friedman economics then of course it will only go downwards.

@mangeurdenuage @matrix @kaia @hakui
Dude, the Italians have been making things fall off the back of the truck and controlling unions since the 60s.
