  • 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?












  • 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.

    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.
