As much as I am a big fan, and user of public transportation, saying it’s just because billionaires don’t want trains is a bit disingenuous in my opinion. A car is simply much more convenient than public transportation. If I wanted to go to burger king from my house, right now, I could walk 5 minutes to the train station, jump on the train, take that for about 2 minutes to the next station, jump off and walk another 10 minutes to burger king. So like, 17-ish minutes. If I went there to get takeaway for both me and my wife her food would be cold before coming back, even if we live in a scenario where the trains match up perfectly as to avoid any waiting times at the station.
Lets call it a roundtrip of 35 minutes just to get a burger. Again, assuming that the trains, because they are so incredibly wellfunded in this scenario, that I can step on a train pretty much any time I need, instead of the hour it is at the moment.
If I were to take my car, the same distance would take me 5 minutes. So a roundtrip of 10 minutes.
When I take the train to work, I need to bring my bike along because trains don’t stop in front of the factory. Time from set off to arrival is about 45 minutes. In my car I can get there in 15 minutes. That’s 60 minutes of wasted time per day.
My point is, taking trains is not going to work for a whole lot of people, and brushing them and their needs off because of it isn’t going to solve anything.


Well… Pretty much the same god, the christians just deny the relevancy of the 3rd book in the series.


I’m not convinced any national leader, be it monarch, president or whatever, has really given all that much of a fuck about the fallen soldiers at any point in time. If they did, wars wouldn’t have been so incredibly common throughout history.


Well, that’s what you get for being the sword of the fascists.


Blueprints don’t fail, people really really often do though. People measure wrong, or build on the wrong side of the line they’ve drawn. It’s not a question about “Is it essential”, it’s a question about “Will it make it easier, faster and less errorprone”.


I’ve worked in construction, and now work as a CAD specialist, so I know your pain, but the problem with “how to actually put a building together” is a very wide issue, also present with engineers and architects.


I read an article about it a while ago, and that said it’d be tethered to the ground, and power would be transfered through the tether.


It would be incredibly useful in construction. Having a digital overlay telling you exactly where to put up the framing for a separating wall, or an overlay showing the correct distance between screws, or where wires and pipes are inside a wall? There are so incredibly many awesome possible uses for AR in construction.


Why would the car already be at the car wash if you ask it wether or not you should drive there?


If she really wants to show the world how good she is, and non-privileged, she can change her name, get into community college while working a minimum wage job, and then start a multimillion dollar business on her own from her savings, without getting carried through life by her father.


Get your educated words out of here!


Don’t forget the bougeoir mustard!


Well sure, but wanting to kill the pedo in chief is pretty sane in my book.


It’s funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn’t an issue.


Sure, but only if it instead gives people a type of incurable cancer in about 30 years.


Which civil war did USA have in the last century?


The fact that they think making andrew a simple peasent like the rest of us, is an appropriate punishment for raping children, either tells us a lot about how they see us regular people, or a lot about how much they care about children being raped.
Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it’s bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it’s a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.
