empty train stations
Holy shit are people so fucking dumb now that they can’t understand planning ahead?
Building things before they’re needed is good actually. I am so tired of waiting for infrastructure to be built years after it’s needed.
I will never understand people who don’t get efficientcy. We can plan ahead, we have the data to know what an area is going to be like, not planning ahead for that is just stupid and negligent.
Usually a sub like, uh, r/BatonRouge or whatever is going to be people who like Baton Rouge but absolutely hate minority segments within it. r/China is full of people who would struggle to come up with a defense that they don’t hate all of China except either “hate the government, not the people” or “some of the much younger women I use my power differential to fuck are Chinese!”
A lot of posts on there are from English teachers in china giving advice to each other on how to take advantage of their students to sleep with them
I’m not going to praise Chinese bullet trains, for example. They’re nice but l’ve been to some really empty train stations in Xinjiang and Gansu that probably shouldn’t have been built.
The government hates its minorities so much they built high quality transportation for them to use whenever they feel like it, but they should be more efficient and abolish all of it because I don’t see any pictures of Uyghurs riding it
Theres people in there saying that China botched “its transition to capitalism” worse than Russia lol
Yea China’s economy is fked which is why they’re the biggest economy rn
They literally cannot say a single good thing about china to the extent they would rather deny reality lmao
They believe inframaterialism is real but also that’s bad because it means the hiveminded asians can succeed despite not following the rules.
If we post enough china will collapse in 20 hours videos maybe it manifest itself into reality
China is always and forever the image from the 1980s where polluted slums are advertised as the legacy of Communism.
I can’t believe the communists destroyed China like that. I’m sure China before 1949 was a thriving industrial powerhouse where everyone ate caviar and drank champagne!
The entire society twirled around fancy dance stage sets like in the cult propaganda treats!
“China bad. They built a train station.”
lol
You build a high speed rail endpoint somewhere, and development will happen there. That’s what I always point out.
That’s why dense populations are always on rivers, because you can transport things along them easily. Trains are the same more or less.
“They’re doing the environment good but for all the wrong reasons. The unmitigated greed is dizzying.”
Noooooo you can’t make poor rural areas less dependent on cars, it is not profitable!
