@FakeMartini No for sure, but the 3rd world countries w/ HSR have very different economics than your median 3rd world country (which usually have effectively zero passenger rail of any speed.

@JacoMajor China is still far away from that! And Morocco is really, really poor, 3m real GDP per capita
English
People say this but between Uzbekistan, Morocco and China HSR is not a developed country thing anymore. The minority of HSR trips happen in developed countries.

High speed rail is a developed country thing. It's an absolute embarrassment we don't have it yet. Saying no to HSR is anti-growth and brain dead. You can oppose a particular project or parts of a project, but saying no to HSR in favour of expanding Billy Bishop & existing highways? Lame.

@fvigeland @JonahA59 if they did cut and cover couldn't they have ignored much of the street geography?
Like ""real metro"" vs LRT.
English
Very glad the Purple Line is actually being built but was this level of circuity really necessary? With this much road sharing and right angles, how fast can it possibly be?

@JacoMajor @osamabishounen Settler colonies aren't part of this convo

@AnonymousLeftie @osamabishounen hey what country are you from again? hows it doing?
English
@osamabishounen south korea surpassed japan. There are literally like zero other examples of former colonies surpassing their colonial rulers frankly outside of money laundering capitals

@HammerDawg @DerrickGalaxic @TheNotoriousHRT yeah bro i know i was arguing w u but that was such a ridiculous statement that i gotta step in and wholeheartedly side w u here

ice hockey: more northern sport played by more northern players

@GeorgeT92387 @TheNotoriousHRT Excited for your schedule next year bud?
English
@GeorgeT92387 @TheNotoriousHRT The Bears are a religion in the sense that Satanism is a religion, yes.
English
@TheNotoriousHRT @JacoMajor You’re downplaying the extent to which it’s a religion in large pockets of the north too, both pro and college. The Bears are nothing short of a religion in Chicago, same for the packers in Wisconsin, and Ohio state in OH. Could go on

@Ripamaru @TheNotoriousHRT 1) american chelsea fan
2) if you read the original post that's not what we're talking about
3) while the south is over-represented in the NFL, it's not even a regular majority, it's like ~40%
English
@JacoMajor @TheNotoriousHRT The vast majority of the talent comes from the south because that's who lives and breathes high school and college football.

@davidsirota However, if something like this were ever to happen again, now might be the time!
English
@davidsirota I think the comments are missing that he was Chief of Staff at the end of a de-facto impeachment placeholder government. Also hps that his best friend was one of like a dozen major Republicans not involved in Watergate (because he was previously thrown out). Very circumstantial.

In just 6 years, Dick Cheney went from being a Capitol Hill intern to being White House chief of staff running the entire government.

@HammerDawg @TheNotoriousHRT well Wisconsin won't even pay players after NIL money, how's that for honesty
English
@JacoMajor @TheNotoriousHRT Funny, at the same time all those Southern schools were supposedly paying recruits illegally, the upper echelon of the B1G was still pulling in top 10 classes. But we’re supposed to believe yall were doing things squeaky clean? And no proof, just regurgitated hearsay, every time
English
@HammerDawg @TheNotoriousHRT Yea so when everybody pays their players instead of just the SEC under the table...
English
@JacoMajor @TheNotoriousHRT B1G has been better the last 3 years because of NIL… Half of Indianas team this year was from the South. Not to mention half of OSU’s team every year is from the South. And you must’ve never heard of UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Arkansas in basketball. And then to throw in baseball😂
English
@TheNotoriousHRT They don't really do basketball or hockey and some places not even baseball so yes it's more dominant for them, but as someone from Wisconsin the "football is a religion" doesn't seem that unique for me.
English
@JacoMajor If you take the cultural importance of the game as a whole it'll definitely skew more southern. football is massive in the south. doesn't mean it's not popular in the north, it's America's most popular sport, but down south it's a religion and that's dominated the culture

Wisconsin is the North Carolina of the Midwest
