@louielogics1984 @grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq They are niche though and politicians who represent us will hopefully care and block economically unviable trains

@Jake2jaak @grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq Bud you are not the gatekeeper for trains-no one cares if you think it’s “niche” or not.

a freeway costs $50-200 million per mile to build and we don't ask it to turn a profit. a train line proposes the same price tag and suddenly it needs to be self-funding by 2031. the infrastructure we subsidize reveals what we value and we have chosen the car every single time

@ShaneyBoyzz @BillMelugin_ @krealmama International law doesn't matter but yes

@BillMelugin_ @krealmama Correct me if I’m wrong but, isn’t a person seeking asylum, by international law, supposed to seek that asylum at the FIRST country they enter??

This would be huge. The way federal law has been interpreted recently is that once an alien sets foot on US soil, even after crossing the border illegally, they have to be allowed to make an asylum claim. SCOTUS now seems open to allowing DHS to block them & turn them away.

@yvessirae @grok give me a rundown of which countries in 2021 donated the most food

Just found out that in 2021, the UN tried to declare food a human right, two countries voted against it. The United States and Israel.

@Brcremer I remember the Democrat party funding the KKK to do just that, yes

@louielogics1984 @grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq I'm specifically talking about in the US, obviously. The US has a spread out population with established infrastructure that already accomplishes all of a train's goals. Japan's population lives densely in a line due to geography. Perfect for a train.

@Jake2jaak @grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq “There’s no niche for trains” —so you’ve never left the US, copy that.

@JohnIshmaell @Boxing_Pandas @Truthful_ast Where? How much would it cost to ride it? Compare that to either taking the interstate or a plane How will it provide extra commercial or military value, as airports and interstates do? How will it compete and ROI? (it won't even come close)

@Boxing_Pandas @Truthful_ast should still have it between major cities

Moonbase before High Speed Rail btw

@Truthful_ast "An awesome project before a useless one" I'd hope so

@CyberSecViking @LeighWolf @SlopHq But the existing freight rail, airplane, and freeway system already efficiently move people and cargo. Passenger trains, even with cargo capacity are simply an 🫰 redundancy. Keep trains intra city (like NY subway and Bart)

@Jake2jaak @LeighWolf @SlopHq I would also argue that rail infrastructure can be used for both and is used for both. NOW the CA train bullshit that costs billions for nothing.... no.... that shit don't fly.

@louielogics1984 @grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq There's no niche for trains. If you want to go anywhere in the country in 4 hours (except Hawaii/Alaska) we already have planes. Trains ARE the dirt roads with horses here.

@grok @JaysonKamoss @SlopHq Yeah cause being able to go cross country in four hours on a high speed train wouldn’t help move the country forward—fuck we should have just kept dirt roads and horses because they are way cheaper than interstate and cars.

@CyberSecViking @LeighWolf @SlopHq And America has the largest freight train system in the world OP is clearly talking about passenger trains

@LeighWolf @SlopHq To be fair.. train lines can be used to transport large amounts of goods as well.... if allowed to.

@LeighWolf @SlopHq It's ok, just stuff passenger trains with merchandise. Here, put 500 pounds of starburst coffee beans on my lap 😂

@SlopHq Really something that transit fans make this argument seemingly unaware that roads are used to transport a massive portion of our economic activity and do not exist exclusively for passenger travel.

@SlopHq So like the freeway is already there and provides both commercial and personal value. Passenger trains provide close to 0 commercial value and little personal value. Even planes are better between LA and SF for example

@PancakeNation12 @BDHerzinger It was scheduled for maintenance before the fire even happened Learn about carrier maintenance cycles!

@BDHerzinger Im not a sailor, but 30 hour firefighting op and a 14 month repair seems to indicate it was more than a dryer fire.

You guys do realize there are 5000 people on a carrier, and thousands more on the ships around them. There are also pictures of said carrier. It would be pretty gd obvious if it had been hit by an anti ship missile.

@a1exl987 @NASAAdmin @NASAMoonBase We can literally do both!

@NASAAdmin @NASAMoonBase It's nice to know that the American government has the time, money, and energy for this meaningful endeavor. Why making affordable housing/healthcare accessible your fellow Americans? It's much easier to build bases on the MOON!

To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.  - Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones  - Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.  - Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility  - Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.

@HuntersOfNazis But they're "winning" according to the Iranian bot farms

Delegation of the Islamic regime flew from Tehran to Pakistan. The Iranian Air Force had to coordinate with the Israeli Air Force and wait for the time slot we approved before they were allowed to fly over their own country. Imagine needing permission from the people you keep threatening to wipe out just to use your own airspace 😂

@michaelpfreeman They were too busy trying to run people over

U.S. citizens killed in Minneapolis were not available for comment.

@destineybleu There's money for both.

How is there money for ICE to run TSA, but not money for TSA to run TSA?

@realstewpeters Do you people not know that missile detection systems can tell where missiles are launched from? Like do you believe that the US thinks Diego Garcia was shot at by Iran just because Israel said so?

Israel attacked Diego Garcia and blamed it on Iran.

@_false_idol_ @Daamianski It's not USN owned. It's likely something given to Ukraine. Turkey blew it up

@Daamianski I'm shocked they didn't bomb it when they lost it, bad sign

awwww baby Zumwalt 🥺

@yifever Mountains obviously. People who don't live on islands don't understand how much mountain geography determines everything Japan knows

half of the entire Japanese population live in the red line. take a guess why
