Private passenger rail will never work in this country if said operator needs to spend billions building said systems. The only way it will work is if the government either owns or pays for the infrastructure, and they operate on it via a lease.
RAIL Magazine@RAILMag
Brightline under-reported truth in 3…2…1… The company has not had trouble attracting riders. March was its highest ridership month ever. It’s because it’s saddled with capital debit from building the operation. Debt that is assumed by the government for public passenger rail.

@dominique6138 It’s for AI training and processing. The internet doesn’t require this.

I dont understand—once upon a time we had an essentially endless Internet & we did not need these atrocious DataCenters, yet now we supposedly need them when it is obvious Google/Technocrats have limited/censored the Internet to almost nothing. What *extra* Data are they storing?

A proposed data center in California's Imperial Valley would need 750,000 gallons of water a day. Satisfying the thirst of 24 more facilities expected to open in the state will be challenging, experts and officials say. (via @insideclimate) grist.org/drought/califo…

@grantstern Or nobody wants to be on a train for 12 hours when they can drive there in 6-8

Rick Scott turned down billions in federal funds from the Obama Administration to bold high speed rail in Florida.
He wanted a private train and to show how he refused to work with Obama.
Now, the Brightline train is on the brink of bankruptcy.

@TheRealJChubby Nobody in America is starving. They’re dying of diabetes and heart disease. There’s not unlimited housing and education
English
There is more than enough food. There is more than enough housing. We could give everyone healthcare and education. But we let the greediest people on earth profit from it instead of providing for the people.
Power to the People ☭🕊@ProudSocialist
An old video of a Walmart worker recording the food that gets wasted is recirculating. 40% of the US food supply—114 billion meals—is thrown out annually making food the largest component of US trash. This is what happens when food is produced not to feed people but for profit.

People on here have been non-stop yapping about high speed rail in the US for years. And this is the best case study. Nobody wants it in America. Period. They’ll tell you “no, we just need to nationalize it, so that it doesn’t matter nobody’s using it”

Florida's High Speed Rail Operator Brightline Seeks Rescue to Avoid Potential Bankruptcy

@Jaybefaunt Or it shows all the rail people yapping on here don’t realize nobody wants it
English
This is why mass public transit should be public owned. It shouldn't be in private hands because they seek only profit.

@jbillinson Ignore the double lines… he could’ve easily gone around without clipping them.

Car brain needs to be studied because this is a driver crossing a double yellow line around a curve on a two-lane road and they still have people defending them in the replies

It’s because no one wants to pay $100 to get from Orlando to Miami in the same amount of time it takes to drive.

@damnidc__ “Why don’t the Japanese just import a bunch of Africans or Europeans to reproduce”
English
They're shooting themselves in their own feet. Japanese women can't get a sperm donor without having a husband, immigration laws are very strict, and they've created a large population of pornsick men who would rather f*ck a hole in their anime body pillow then date real women

@AlaskaBird__ Anyone who talks about someone using their “platform” doesn’t understand comedy, and is probably really not fun to be around.
English
Joe Rogan single handedly ruined comedy by using his platform to hype insufferable and unfunny charity cases.
Ally@AllyJKiss
Joe Rogan seemingly joins the Woke Reich podcaster antisemites— bashing Jewish people, and of course, Israel, in his latest interview with comedian Shane Gillis. Rogan: “Israel’s like the number one place where sex offenders go from America. Especially Jewish people…kind of proves Kanye’s point a little bit… It’s amazing how many high-profile Jewish people … they have an opinion about everything but when it gets to this (Iran) they just avoid that or come up with some random way to justify annihilating an entire city.”

There is no "Gender war". Men have been abusive for generations and women are finally refusing to tolerate it anymore.

There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”

Hey so, I'm a vegan, and I have spent a good portion of my life helping animals, so I hope that you hear me when I say I find it monstrous to even attempt to judge the eating and hunting habits of people experiencing an active genocide. They are being intentionally starved.

Meet Human Operator from MIT Media Lab: a wearable that lets AI temporarily take control of your hand using electrical muscle stimulation. Watch it crush piano, draw perfectly, and mix cocktails like a pro — all from a simple voice command. “I gave an AI a body.” This isn’t sci-fi. This is tomorrow. #HumanOperator #MITMediaLab

@_ayandamay Yeah, much better plan to rely on the state’s goodwill for that

This is the future of the Democrat party (Democratic Socialism) and it’s sad literally the only thing holding it back is neoliberal freaks who would rather work with Republicans than people who want universal healthcare, better wages, & a better floor of living.
It’s wild to me.
