There was an older alternative with PS and Tcl from Sun. I don't know if I would like that more.

From where have you downloaded the script? Was it trustworthy?

Is that supoosed to be a good thing or a bad thing ?

I don't judge. I just care about the mechanisms.

No, they’re just narrowly constrained as to what they can do

It's turtles all the way down. At some point, somebody makes a decision against public transport.

A good follow on Mastodon who’s an actual traffic expert

Thanks for the link. Frustrating content but good.

It's the other way round. Individualism prevents communism. People drive cars to prevent them from voting for those parties.

Downvoters, do you think all that bad urban planning is incompetence of the specialists while every comment section is filled with geniuses who for some reason are enlightened about public transport but never in the position of power to bring it to life?

A 2004 meta-analysis of reports in Current Directions in Psychological Science gave an overall estimate of around 0.85 for 18-year-olds and older.[16] The general figure for heritability of IQ is about 0.5 across multiple studies in varying populations.[17]

But for sure this is about black, brown and unsettling white people.

I would think about why you don't want to decide where to put things. You can't know if it is up to you to make that decision and you haven't decided yet.

People have to be convinced to go on a general strike. USA spent $5 billion in Ukraine, so with 10 times the population it will take $50 billion to get things going.

You always trade billionaires. People don't act on their own so there is always essentially one rich group fighting another.

The fascinating thing is that there is no billionaire group opposing Trump. So there must be a convincing argument to keep everybody in line.

Yes, I would think so. But then there must be a plan, a convincing plan that is more advanced than enslaving everybody, all the while nobody is leaking it.

I am not happy with any explanation so far.

He. The one whose name we don't speak. Putin?

Russia lost in Syria. There is no way Putin is in control.

That's not a plan. The power of the USA are their natural resources and the drive of its population. If people stop believing, progress will stop like in the USSR and China will take over.

And a president controlled by Russia? That doesn't make sense.

No, they don't have to leave for consequences. If they don't leave and don't go to work, civilization will stop and Trump cannot continue. Then if there is a joined demand for a new election, it either gets ugly if Trump tries to sit it out or a new election will happen.

But there needs to be a billionaire leader who pays for the expenses because people on their own are stuck in their routines.
