IDK about trains, but the problem with cars is that we let people operate them with minimal training and practically no oversight. You see shit on roads daily where if the driver was flying a plane, they wouldn't even be let on as a passenger anymore ever.
Yeah I've been in a few places around Europe, and it really seems that in Western Europe, labour movements made big gains in like the 1970s and neolib governments have been squandering that ever since, and we are nearing the point where it all turns fash.
I mean you can get a licence for 20-30k, the maintenance is deadly on a plane though, you could buy a very nice car each year on that money.
It's an industry event, an EBU one not an EU one. Anyone can join if they ask. Australia is in the competition as well.
The problem with Israel is not that they are in Asia.
History indeed remembers. No coincidence half the world has an "independence from the English" day.
That is as likely as a cartel hit in New York because it's so close to Mexico.
Actually, metros in Eastern Europe tend to be safer for tourists by statistics for some reason.
A lot of the big European metros are outside the 3 countries listed in the meme though.
IDK, it's better that they spend money on this rather than offensive weaponry, as it has been shown that it is practically impossible to intercept hypersonic missiles in their terminal flight stage. At least it's good for a jobs program.
The problem is that the plan is obviously to make sure that US wars of conquest can be waged also against nuclear powers without fear of retaliation.
I wish.
And who's going to tell all those people that they are not going to drive again, ever? In pilot training, even showing signs of bravado or machismo is grounds for getting failed. The problem is that if you do that those people will go and vote you out, especially in this climate.
One of the main campaign promises of the idiot who got the most votes in the last Dutch election was to put the speed limits back to 130 kmh from the reduced 100 kmh on motorways. People like to be dumb.
BTW it would take minimal effort to enforce highway speed limits with cameras checking entry and exit times and distances. In some places with road tolls, it wouldn't even need any more data collection. A single SQL query would return all those people doing 100 kmh over on the motorways. Wonder why outside of a few outliers, nobody does it.
