Fading? Global support is about as visible as God during the holocaust.

Tbf, capitalism doesn’t mind minorities. More cheap labor to exploit.

This is more of an ethno-nationalist: we need more young people.

Oh my, that’s terrible. If anyone were to tell me however one could do something so dastardly, I would totally take active steps to avoid ever pirating the game.

Why would we call bombings of a densely populated area with the express intent of killing and frightening residents into submission terrorism? /s

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s ppl sayin something should have been done yesterday.

Guess what, if should have been done yesterday, we’ve missed the deadline, we’ve already failed and might as wel write off the project.

Naw. It was never true. There was a time in history were unions were powerful enough to force corporations to not screw over their workers though.

As you said, it was pretty much only the case for union jobs.

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.

I assume it’s gimmick item. More art piece than commercial product

Was Israel the other country?

It’s a classic “rules for thee, but not for me” law. Good Faith judgment means the rich an powerful get access to while the poor and minorities do not.
