Ngl. That’s unironically pretty decent looking. If it wasn’t for the DPRK, I’d totally buy that shirt.

I’m more surprised by the fact that 39% of boomers have a positive view of socialism. That’s more that one in every three boomers.

As much as I agree that decent public transport is significantly preferable to autonomous cars, this video is a bit of a straw man argument.

Self driving cars will never beat trains/busses on efficiency. But that’s not why people like them. The major selling point is the illusion we can sustainably keep living in spread out suburbs.

Trains will not stop at the doorstep of your mcMansion. Trains will not allow you to comfortably carry your biweekly Costco shopping. Trains will not provide you the luxury of traveling from point A to B without ever having to come in contact with the plebs.

Unfortunately, he kind of admits as much in the end of the video. Where says that self driving cars will entrench suburbia and will work in sparsely populated areas.

He’d have been better off focusing on the economics of self driving cars. E.g. how the vegas hyper loop is an insanely expensive money sink, unneeded musk subsidy, and just plain doesn’t work.

Seeing as they’ve been around long enough to procreate, it’s likely that the household is not a ferocious user of TP.

Maybe they have a bidet.

So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?

So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.

These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.

Yeah… BRICS is going nowhere. They’re geographically dispersed, economically not integrated (nor are they moving towards that), and ideologically all over the place.

This entire endeavour is just a really expensive way of saying that there are countries in the global south don’t like the current western led world order.

So does meatball Ron. Or Nikki Haley. Although tbh, she is more frustrating than infuriating.
