Brightline is commuter rail. We have a bunch of little trains connecting to close cities. What we don’t have more than one of is passenger rail, where you can hop on a train in Seattle and get off in New York.

Except for Amtrak that serves… Everything. There is no passenger tail service in the U.S. other than Amtrak.

Great! Thanks! You’ve just doomed us to get the Linux Saturn, which will be appreciated by some, but ultimately fail against SuperWindows and Windows 64. After that we’ll get something beautiful, the Linux Dreamcast, but it will be too little too late, as just a few months later, Apple releases the MacStation2, which most people buy because it has a DVD player built in, and the Linux Dreamcast kind of just dies… 25 years later, and Linux is making Linux Classics compilations and new games starring Tux for the WindowsSwitch2.

- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 1 week ago:
Selling stuff at cost is already selling stuff at a loss if you factor in labor and overhead. How long can you go losing money? Probably not as long as Walmart or Target or Amazon. That’s what they’re betting in.
Employing your exact strategy is how Amazon became one of the largest corporations on the planet. In fact, they still sell their entire Amazon Basics line at a loss for this reason.

Not sure where you’re from, but in the U.S., at least, nooses have a specific historical and cultural meaning. It’s illegal to tie a noose with 13 or more coild in the u.s. for this reason, and it has nothing to do with suicide.

Maybe then, you should consider where your hate is coming from, especially if the stuff you’re saying is word-for-word state propaganda.

The is Hasbara. Do is everything else that you’ve written in this thread and, looking at your post and comment history, it looks like the MAJORITY of what you type up on lemmy is Hasbara.
Sooo, and I’m pretty against fedjacketing people online, and find that it can be pretty dangerous. But I’m fairly confident you are working for Mossad.

You can simply take the side of innocent people here, you know?
This isn’t two sports teams going against each other. There are people okay with the mass killing of an entire people to further their own political and ideological goals, and there are those who are not. It really doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

My brain can imagine the process of creating a path, wtf, that’s literally what I’m talking about. Just moving over to the right is what is written in the law in most places. Chill.
- Comment on German man says american are savages 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never been to New York, but as somebody born and raised in Southern California, lived in Portland, Or, and is currently living in Minnesota, I have never seen this. You always move over to the right. Immediately and without question. In California, Oregon, and Minnesota, at least, it’s the law, and you can be fined for not complying.

I have never seen a human, let alone a woman, behave like this.
This pretty much explains the rest of your comment.

I think, while Nazi comparisons are useful, it’s really important for people to understand that American Fascism is its own thing. Prior to the Nazis and Fascists coming to power, the U.S. was successfully managing an apartheid state and conducting mass sterilizations and popularizing the ideas of eugenics.
The U.S. was MASSIVELY influential on Nazi ideology, and American fascist really appreciated that and supported the Nazis in kind.
American Fascism has grown and developed out of unique American socio-economic conditions (manifest destiny, slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, militia movement, preppers, protestant work ethic, evangelicalism, etc.) independently from other flavors of fascism, and therefore doesn’t map 1:1 perfectly to any other type of fascism.
The fact that European varieties were actively suppressed for so long while the America variety was allowed to actively metastasize means that the kind of fascism that we’re dealing with today is a far more advanced form and it’s already off the map, so to speak.

You probably know this by now, but Bully is a remarkable tale of anti-bullying. You don’t play the one bullying others, you play the one who gets bullied.

New hires were, yes. Because of automation (and position hybridization, the rise of the gig economy, despecialization, and the rise of Walmart, of course). This is exactly the point that I’m making.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
The U.S. We still had strong union grocery stores right up until automation hit. Then you get the big UFCW strike in California in 2003-2004, and what you’re left with is a store full of a bunch of people who are making middle class wages, but all new hires are making $8/hr with no benefits. Get on another 20 years, and that’s basically everybody working at a grocery store now.
Reaganomics absolutely blazed the trail, but self-checkout finished the job.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Yeah, I’m talking about pre and post self-checkout. 2005 absolutely could have done that for you.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
20 years ago a cashier position in a grocery store was a well-paying union job with a pension. It could literally be your career. You could buy a house, raise a family, and retire from that position.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
In a theoretical society in which all of my material needs were met, and I was given ample time off, I would volunteer to sit behind a cash register for a few hours a day and help people check out their groceries. I’m sure I’m not the only one. What do you even mean by “productive time”? When you say that it “does not provide value”, do you mean monetary value or social value?

Weird aside, but Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Is actually kind of base on a true story. Oil, tire, and car companies did actually conspire to dismantle Los Angeles’ then extensive street car network.
