If trains were invented today itd be incredible for trains as seen by how every hyped up vaporware transportation invention is just a train but worse
hills or mountains
Switzerland famous for not having trains
Also, as if digging through hills and mountains has ever been an issue since the invention of dynamite.
Americal railways are in such shit condition and so poorly used, that ‘figured it out’ may be a bit too much.
Replace train with literally anything, its a damn fail cargo tanker (which also would never be built) of a take.
reading these tweets after finishing this post in c/indigenous has really got me thinking thoughts
Ben Norton was dunking on this absurd take
Many hard science programs in the US indoctrinate graduates with neoliberal economic dogma while leaving them politically and historically illiterate. But because they have PhDs, they arrogantly believe they know everything, and make extremely stupid comments like this, showing they are actually deeply ignorant about many things. Just because you worked for NASA doesn’t mean you know anything outside of your narrow field.
This loser also has “hyperloop” in his bio, which should instantly disqualify you from ever talking about transit ever again
