Truly a sophisticated investor. How could you have possibly lost all your money gambling? It must be the hEdGiEs.

Post loss porn baggie

lol GME’s price per earnings is over 500 and they’re not doing shit with that money you gave them. Die mad about it.

The US is unique in the 30 year fixed rate. It’s great if you have one, but it can have some externalities and effects like what we see here.

I hate the stock.

This is investment advice.

What are you doing step-fascist?

Patriot isn’t limited to missile interception.

Depends on where you live. Rural areas often don’t get free trash pickup.

They said, while Russia is literally in the middle of doing the sort of invasion NATO is warning against.

Yes bum!

Mind the gap!

Most transit advocates prefer trams/streetcars over buses. They’re safer and can coexist with people much better.

Nice pussy

Finally some good fuckin titties

China has a working HSR system connecting all their major cities. The fact that their population scale is so massive means they also try weird shit to get what they can.

Japan is very narrow but it’s also very long. The actual amount of miles a train much cover from one end to the other is very large.

Yes the EU is not one country (though it is a polity). That should make it harder, not easier to cover it with rail, and yet there’s rail lines connecting all the major cities crossing national borders. Does the “size” counter reset once you cross a line on the map?

It’s not the size, it’s the political organization. You even hint at this when describing how we paved America: the political and economic configuration was aligned to make it happen despite the massive cost. The USA was crisscrossed by passenger rail and street cars, and still is for cargo. We just took a different path later, but it doesn’t actually have to be that way.

China has tons of it.

So does Russia.

Japan isn’t “small” (it’s the length of California) and has tons of it.

The EU is pretty big and all interconnects.

Size isn’t the issue. It certainly hasn’t prevented us from paving half our country.

Those things are still available, they’re just not the only option to the detriment of everyone else. Most people and things should be entering the city by rail, which removes the need for city destroying highways that are ever widening.

Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn’t the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.

Most reasonable people have decided that everyone gets to have an unsubstantiated belief system that goes into the “Religion” slot and it’s not a big deal as long as no one makes it a Big Deal. Reasonable people have decided this because trying to proactively eliminate it is way harder and god-awful than just letting it ride (once again, as long as no one makes it a Big Deal).
