  • Yeah, I think people over and underestimate the value of rural public transit. The underestimating is that people vastly overestimate rurality. Small cities whose residents think of themselves as rural often would benefit from public transit, though trams may be a better option.

    But the fucking boonies, places that never had a train or tram but they used to just have horses, those places benefit from personal vehicles. I wish those places would recognize that they’re a small minority of the population and infrastructure shouldn’t prioritize their ability to not take transit once they get into the city, but they do need accommodation













  • That’s how necessary (and “necessary”) military actions go. Iran can’t just take it but they aren’t looking to have a whole ass war. So they’re giving a heads up so they can fire some missiles to demonstrate they can and we can shoot them down so nobody dies.

    I’m not going to pretend to know what my government is thinking here, the regime does whatever they feel like.

    Russia for comparison was trying to conquer Ukraine. Getting to the killing early gave an advantage. For comparison the united states doesnt want boots on the ground attempting to hold iran and iran doesnt want to ship people across the world to try to take the gulf of Mexico or secure the Permian basin.





  • I think this one is easy to believe, especially considering he never claimed to drink his own brand of vodka. His whole pre political aesthetic lends itself to alcohol consumption and being a teetotaler in his circles would be akin to had he been a strict vegetarian in oddness. There’s also the fact that even his ex inner circle who now oppose him don’t claim he drinks, which would be a minor scandal.

    He’s definitely an uppers guy anyways.
