    I know many don’t like this but i’ll say my opinion again:

    Public transport should be built on the coastlines, which coincidentally also are blue states, because there’s a high population density and public transport makes sense there because of the frequency.

    Public transport does not and never will make sense in the midwestern and rural areas of US. The major reason for this is that people there simply largely (70% of people) don’t want it. You can’t get something through against the will of the local population. Just deal with it. You won’t be able to take a train from the East Coast to the West Coast, you’ll still have to fly (or drive) that distance.






  • I used to like and look up to SpaceX for the interesting stuff that they build,

    but nowadays i don’t care anymore. The company can fail for all i care. Musk spoiled it.

    The tipping point, for me personally, was when Musk seriously threatened to slash public spending in February this year. It shows a clear disrespect to the people, and frankly, a sociopathic attitude.

    Musk had everything, lots of money, lots of fame, lots of influence, but he threw it all away when he decided to threaten the wellbeing and lifelyhood of a lot of people just so that rich assholes can make an extra buck through tax cuts.
