Archive link doesn't work

Telsas catch on fire at a higher rate than Ford Pintos.

To be fair, there is often a bit of tweaking to keep linux going. But in general, it works quite well.

And railroads to those Amazon warehouses

Conrail should have continued as the government owning the rail and letting the other railroads use the track. As in, Amtrak should have been the rolling stock, and Conrail should have been the rail. It was not a nationwide railroad, but that owning it was the right thing to do. Selling it was the wrong thing to do. The government is constantly spending money with the railroads to maintain the rail and do upgrades.

And railroads!

The government should have just laid fiber.

I am using Ling and Mondly for my language learning.

All politics is local

Dating is a numbers game, so ya gotta go where your preferences are.

I do IT category management, sourcing/procurement for F500 companies. Been doing it for like 15 years and I don't know what else I would be doing. I like the work. It's challenging, changes enough, and there is a mix of strategic and tactical work. Notably, I don't get burned out with it.

Everyone is suffering. The vast majority of people voting don't want anything better. Sure, we can have ideals, but ya gotta face facts that people just don't want anything better and will not avocate for it.

And Democrats have the gall to complain in private about how we want them to do something.

We already do. Ya don't see it because it's been a slow turn. We are the richest country in the world in history, but yet, we have issues paving roads because of the rich don't want to pay their fair share. We could take a few points of the GDP and we could have the greatest country this world has ever seen, a pure utopia.

There are plenty of unsung heros.

And if people don't stop him, then he very well may. But ya know what happens when dictators die? Revolutions. Tales old as time.

The G7 apparently is organized around shared values of pluralism, liberal democracy, and representative government. What I don't understand is, why India or Brazil isn't in this group? It's clear why China or Russia is not in that list.
