Dont both sides this, Hamas has been asking for a ceasefire for over a year, when Israel finally agreed, they immediately failed to hold up their side. Israel wants genocide, so they demand terms that would allow them to continue the genocide with impunity. Dont claim they hate Israel because of antisemitism instead of Israel’s ongoing actions. Even Hamas’s charter makes a distinction between Jewish people and Israelis.
Have you ever been in places that weren’t designed around cars? Here in Japan its night and day between places where half the land is parking lots and roads, theres like 2 businesses within a 15 minute walk, and every hotel runs its own shuttle, and places where anyone can get basically anywhere in 15-20 minutes.
To be clear, those conservative politics are shared by both parties. How often do you see Blue Dig Democrats extolling Clinton for balancing the budget (by cutting welfare) or Biden for securing the border (by locking more migrants in cages)
I think theres a disconnect here, Im talking about Gundam and others where 12 year olds being subjected to war is an unambiguously bad thing, leaving the “chosen one” and their friends dead or mentally scarred.
They rigged the system by making Biden do fuckall to improve his constituents material conditions, or even stop Republicans from banning abortion, or you know, continue to illegally give Israel the tools they are using to commit genocide. If they didn’t make Biden do all that, Trump wouldn’t have had a shot in hell.
Lemmy.world isnt left, its liberal, they want a kinder, gentler capitalism, not a transition away from capitalism.
The conspiracy comes from libs’ hyperfocus on red vs blue team politics. The left generally doesn’t see Trump as some singular manifestation of evil, but just another representative of capital, and in many ways a regression to the mean.
Do you think movies shouldn’t depict the human cost of war either?
Yeah no I’m not saying Chicago is ideal, only that does 1 better than most cities in that it runs trains late at night. Most cities have ebikes/scooters, and an app that you can use to schedule an uber or taxi.
Being able to take your bike on the subway during non-peak hours is also nice; a lot of the world they don’t let you do that, except on a few special trains.
busses in my area stopped running at 11p.
Continuing to run some transit late at night is one of the few things NYC and Chicago actually do better than most cities.
Even Tokyo runs some of its last trains before midnight. Some stations don’t get their first trains until 6 am. Missing the last train because of an event that let out at 2AM or 11 and it took awhile to get to the station isn’t that uncommon. It’s not terrible to walk 5km in a more walkable city. But also that’s where ebike and scooter shares, and even taxis fill the gap. You don’t need to destroy the city with parking lots and wide roads to support that.
Cars also fit in there as a puzzle piece, especially in areas where the population density is lower.
When there’s 1 farm per 5 km maybe. In 1920, you could get from Savanah to Boston just by taking trains and streetcars; every neighborhood was served by atleast a tram.
The USSR found it worthwhile to build rail lines to remote settlements, without stops, a few times a day a guy would just drive a 2 train locomotive and stop if he saw anybody.
In some rural parts of Japan, you have lines it’s just 1 railroad, and every 20 miles is an unmanned station where it splits into 2 for the trains to pass, for like 10 stations. So you have 200 miles worth of suburbs being served by 40-50 workers running 20 3 car trains, that arrive every 30 minutes or so. The unmanned stations tend to have tons of bikes, they probably have buses too.
Average cost of owning a car per day is 20USD or so. A single railroad line that allows just 1000 people to not pay for a car does not cost 20,000 USD a day to operate. This is not including the cost of road building and maintenance. But even if it did, cheap transit is a public good; transit isn’t supposed to be revenue neutral. Roads aren’t revenue neutral.
??? That’s not how it worked at all.
They still had the same length of time per day; 24 hours was equal to 10 french hour, each french hour was 100 french minutes, and each french minute was 100 french seconds. So noon arrived at 5 every day.
The french:
Yes, that was my point, that if they actually believed in that model, they would support raising taxes because every time we cut taxes, revenue decreases.
You really don’t understand context do you?
Here in Japan, it’s one of the few restaurants that’s often open at 4 AM and has free wifi and phone charging, and is the same across the country. Kinda like wafflehouse, I rarely eat there, but it’s nice as a last resort.
The food is still mid, and kinda expensive at 2/3 or less the cost in the US.
But the laffer curve indicates that if we cut taxes a little and that lowers revenue, cutting them even more would be much worse??
No, he is acknowledging he doesn’t know anything about North Korea because he only has 2 completely unreliable sources.
You know even less because you don’t even have a second source, and lack the critical thinking to realize it.
A lot of chinese people on XHS post about their vacations to DPRK
“ok boomer” doesnt fit since it expresses that the boomer is so out of touch with current reality but so confident in their view that its pointless to try to explain something to them.
