  Wrong question. It doesn’t matter who was “first”.

  If the first group stops, the problem is gone.
  If the second group stops, the problem is not gone but likely growing.

  Fully agree on this one 🤝 The feedback loop is real and powerful

  I’m not. As I said, I think people have varying degrees of education. I’m not separating between “us” and “them” in terms of education. I don’t make generalised statements of what happens on a global scale without good research into tge subkect either.

  But simple things such as “we need to make education a social priority” is within my reach.

  but people are uneducated

  So you’re not? OK, as you say.

  I’m not subscribing to such statements, personally. I see varying levels of education around, and I see my job as educating when I can, learning when I can.

  Or instead of raising the voting question (also known as non-democracy, only-whites-can-vote etc), maybe better agree on the importance of accessible education. Such as, a well funded school system, free non-corporate universities etc.

  There’s also OpenRA Romanov’s Vengeance, for people looking for this type of stuff. A WIP though, same as this project I think.

  Musk does not do a space race. Not on his money, at least.

  Instead, he does it on US taxpayer money, with billion-dollar contracts to get people to Mars by 2025 and other timelines like that. The government employee who approved one of the largest contracts to SpaceX quickly quit working for the government and now works… at SpaceX.

  So you tell me, is Elon in a space race, or are tge US taxpayers in a race to fund the billionaire?

  UPD: Tried Moovit, it still works without google services, whoray! … And still asks money or fills me up with ads to the brim, also as before…

  Oh wow, that’s a lot of useful information, huge thank you! Since as you’re indicating it’s the GTFS data underneath, I’ll try Moovit, which last time I checked worked even on my de-googlified phone (GrapheneOS without google services). Thanks again! 💚

  Such a thing exists in Amsterdam as well. From what I’ve read, it helps against poisoning etc quite a lot.
