Tbh, concentrated wealth wouldn’t be able to squeeze the market if there was a healthy supply. There’s a lot of issues with single family homes, but the tl;Dr is that they’re expensive because they are by FAR the least efficient way to house people, and it’s basically the only kind of housing that most cities allow by zoning area.
Just look at them, sitting there, not getting punched by cops. Is that the world you want to live in, son?
This kind of shit is part of how I square government-supplied mass transit with libertarian/anarchist views. Cars are the gateway to so much intrusive, authoritarian bullshit, it’s actually nuts how people see them as tools of freedom.
It depends a lot on where you are. In the west? 50% of Amtrak stations are out in a suburb or a field or some bullshit like that. In the east, you’re absolutely correct. We’ve basically spent 100 years dismantling, underfunding, and obstructing passenger rail to prioritize cars, and it, uh, shows.
It’s probably going to take several fully loaded passenger jets or just two private jets colliding.
Whacko conspiracy time: they’re also working on cutting down Amtrak’s staffing and cutting funding for rail transit. Gas is expensive af and driving is uncomfortable and slow (not that Amtrak is any faster). What if the plan here is to just make interstate travel so painful that people stop travelling? I doubt it, though, I think this is just extra strong vanilla incompetence. I can’t imagine what the point of that would be, for starters.
Did we make America great yet?
If Jesus came back, these dipshits would have him crucified way faster than those nerd ass Romans.
Yeah, that’s what I think every time I hear of a state’s population voting in a new amendment and the legislature immediately hatching scheme after scheme to overturn it. Absolutely wild stuff, and it happens way more often than I’m comfortable with.
I don’t necessarily think he’s bad at writing dialogue and story, I think he’s mostly just bad at writing women. As I’ve gotten older, I went from taking Metal Gear Solid super seriously to treating it like nuclear/techno Evil Dead
I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose’s dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.
Tech bros try not to invent trains again challenge: impossible
Exactly. That’s like SecDef being like “idk, I’m really not in a position to give military advice”. I say that fully aware of the irony, but it’s hard to pick a non-busted example since Trump’s cabinet is just completely full of “meritocracy”.
I have no moral character and I must fall for it again
That explains a LOT.
Not that they’ve got a real patriotic bone in their body, it’s all fast nationalism, but Ivan and his son, Ivan is one of the greatest paintings of all time.

I’ve about had it. If one more shitty, awful thing happens, I’m going to really start hoping that somebody leads the revolution for me.
