Flying doesn’t need as much infrastructure so that’s definitely a factor. I couldn’t find the cost per passenger kilometer to compare so I can only say that flying emits much more co2 than every other form of transportation. Since climate change is going to cost us a lot I’d say the cost of flying exceeds the costs of car resp. train infrastructure.
Weirdly both sided comment. There’s one nation acting erratically, disrespectful, and without an ounce of decorum. Then, there’s a nation that, instead of cowering in fear as it used to be, responds to clown behavior with humor. Which is probably for the best.
But smallish population and a big distance between major population centers means rail is expensive. Relative to population size.
This is also true for roads. Prioritizing roads is ideologically motivated.
The entitlement of drivers is second to none.
Had corporations with their profit incentive not taken over the whole net, it could have been something akin to collective intelligence.
Come on nobody is that dense. You have to be trolling
ngl you had me in the first half
suspiciously reddit-worded?
Good public transit would be so frequent you wouldn’t need to fit your schedule around it. I live in a place with passable public transit and I never check schedules before leaving the house. I wait 10 mins max (I’m still annoyed sometimes tho)
What’s up with all these 2010 memes with democrat talking points showing up recently? Was there like a thinktank that came up with the idea to reach more fellow kids?
The difference between Belgium and the US is so striking - while US workers are docile in the face of fascism, Belgian workers rise against a neoliberal project that’s already implemented in most parts of the world. More power to you and unions!
Also, since work and exploitation are interchangeable in Capitalism, this meme says “nobody wants to work anymore/Nobody wants to WORK anymore”. It’s nonsense.
not exactly sex work positive. Also, Bezos much rather owns the chuds. He does not entertain them
Treating this sentiment as religious is the right impulse. It’s purely vibes based and should never be grounds for policy
Lol one should be proud of one’s own achievements. Nothing achieved by being lucky (or unlucky) enough to be born in a certain part of the world. Losers who have nothing to show for take pride in something as arbitrary as a nation
I always thought this meme was directed at right wing working class people because the left is already fighting the class war while also defending civil rights against “culture warriors”
This is not even funny. Just sad boomer humor
