      For the car lobby it is; the worse the train performs, the more cars are sold.

      It’s so frustrating that free highways are never questioned, but railroads are somehow expected to be profitable.

    I feel like Europe’s future is Amerification. Fuck trains. They’ll probably ban chinese EV imports at some point, and just rely on american trash for transportation. Hopefully not. Hopefully they have some sense to be independent and work with peace-loving nations like China. But they’re far more likely to just get cucked for a thousand year burger reich

      While Europe and many Europeans continue to show how cucked they are for the burger reich, through dialectical materialism we can see that whether they like it or not the material conditions will force them to pull away or be destroyed but it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better for them I imagine.
