There was an older alternative with PS and Tcl from Sun. I don’t know if I would like that more.

From where have you downloaded the script? Was it trustworthy?

Is that supoosed to be a good thing or a bad thing ?

I don’t judge. I just care about the mechanisms.

No, they’re just narrowly constrained as to what they can do

It’s turtles all the way down. At some point, somebody makes a decision against public transport.

A good follow on Mastodon who’s an actual traffic expert

Thanks for the link. Frustrating content but good.

It’s the other way round. Individualism prevents communism. People drive cars to prevent them from voting for those parties.

Downvoters, do you think all that bad urban planning is incompetence of the specialists while every comment section is filled with geniuses who for some reason are enlightened about public transport but never in the position of power to bring it to life?

A 2004 meta-analysis of reports in Current Directions in Psychological Science gave an overall estimate of around 0.85 for 18-year-olds and older.[16] The general figure for heritability of IQ is about 0.5 across multiple studies in varying populations.[17]

But for sure this is about black, brown and unsettling white people.

People have to be convinced to go on a general strike. USA spent $5 billion in Ukraine, so with 10 times the population it will take $50 billion to get things going.

You always trade billionaires. People don’t act on their own so there is always essentially one rich group fighting another.

The fascinating thing is that there is no billionaire group opposing Trump. So there must be a convincing argument to keep everybody in line.

Yes, I would think so. But then there must be a plan, a convincing plan that is more advanced than enslaving everybody, all the while nobody is leaking it.

I am not happy with any explanation so far.

He. The one whose name we don’t speak. Putin?

Russia lost in Syria. There is no way Putin is in control.

That’s not a plan. The power of the USA are their natural resources and the drive of its population. If people stop believing, progress will stop like in the USSR and China will take over.

And a president controlled by Russia? That doesn’t make sense.

No, they don’t have to leave for consequences. If they don’t leave and don’t go to work, civilization will stop and Trump cannot continue. Then if there is a joined demand for a new election, it either gets ugly if Trump tries to sit it out or a new election will happen.

But there needs to be a billionaire leader who pays for the expenses because people on their own are stuck in their routines.

What’s the plan? The idea of those stupid freedom cities can’t blind them all.

If China takes over, China will most likely end hunger and they will dominate all markets. Even if billionaires thrive on misery, they will not thrive for long if the USA declines.

There must be diversity among billionaires.

Also most of them are losing money and will lose even much more money. If it is all about money they must do something now.

Will the police side with Trump if the CEO of Ford, Boeing or McDonalds support the strike? (on behalf of the owners)

But even if it is only one billionaire, there is no need to confront the police. Unlike before people don’t have to meet but can organize online. If everybody stays home, there is no threat from the police.

Besides, why would the police side with a Russian asset?

It doesn’t make sense. All the rich old men grew up with Russia being bad. Just the president being compromised should make them act. The president actively dismantling their power in the world is beyond accepable. And yet, nothing happens.

How can the American elite suppress workers with ease but they are helpless now that their president is controlled by Russia?

Nobody with power is acting on this, or any of the policies that destroy the economy.

What is the compromat that Trump has on the thousand American billionaires?

One billionaire financing the organization of a general strike would be enough.

Why does that not happen?

It’s like machines replacing farm hands. It’s the end of feudalism because the peasants are not needed anymore. The feudal lords won’t make the profits but the factory owners and the mining owners.

If the AI companies are the mines, what are the factories?

With AI, essentially everybody starts at middle management or above because the grunt work is automated. Now it’s all about allocating resources, acquiring clients and creating new products.

Somebody has to monitor the AIs and write the prompts. It’s middle management for everybody.

We accept all identities but not the animalistic core of identity, the smell.

People can dress however they want but they cannot smell however they want.

It makes sense because we can look away or close our eyes. It still says something about the limits of acceptence.

They had to. If life in western Europe would have been worse than in eastern Europe, people would have elected communists.
