@papazelko tipping should be appreciation, not a substitute for fair pay.

@JoySparkDaily I hate US tipping culture. It's just another form of exploitation!

A Europe-U.S. superhighway proposed by the former president of Russian Railways in 2015.
In 2015, Vladimir Yakunin, the former president of Russian Railways, publicly backed an enormous infrastructure concept sometimes described as a Europe to United States superhighway.
The idea was part of a broader proposal called the Trans Eurasian Belt Development, which imagined a massive transportation corridor stretching across Russia and into the far east of Siberia.
The most eye catching part was the potential connection across the Bering Strait, the narrow body of water separating Russia from Alaska.
If that crossing had been built, it could theoretically link the road and rail systems of Eurasia with those of North America, making it possible to imagine traveling overland from London to New York.
How would that have even remotely been built? Engineers would have had to dig or bore beneath the seabed between eastern Russia and Alaska, probably using the Diomede Islands as natural midpoint staging points. The tunnel would need to survive extreme cold, shifting sea ice, remote logistics, and serious seismic risk, while also carrying rail, road, power, and communication lines across one of the most isolated regions on Earth. Even before construction began, crews would have needed to build thousands of miles of supporting roads, railways, ports, worker camps, power systems, and supply routes just to reach both sides of the crossing.
The proposal was never close to becoming reality. It would have required extreme engineering, enormous funding, and cooperation between governments that already had deep political tensions.
Added fact: The Bering Strait is only about 55 miles wide at its narrowest point, but the region's freezing waters, sea ice, remoteness, and political boundaries are what make it one of the most difficult possible places on Earth to build a permanent crossing.
