The US desperately needs a high speed rail road. It’s long overdue. It’s the future. This should be a bi-partisan project.

Lemmy is even worse than than Reddit when it comes to sharing a different opinion. Don’t even try that here. I also do agree Trump will get elected again mainly because the left continues to silence the right. So instead of communication, people from the left have no issues doing whatever it takes to silence voices they dont like. And they call it free speech lmao. This is why I left Democrat and became a Republican. Though last time I refused to vote for Trump, this time I will. Cause the yinyang is broken. We need a balance.

So your free speech is free speech, theirs is not. You don’t ever think you are maybe just as fascist as they are?

So there will be duplicate of the same subs? For instance, I found two personalfinance in two different instances. I found it counter effective having multiple subs of the same name.

You are not alone. This will be a road block for user growth.

Can someone explain what instance mean? Why are there different instances?

Meta lost $40 billion in Metaverse. I wouldn’t call that smart. Facebook rebranding kept Facebook as a sub product of Meta. Elon should have done the same with Twitter by keeping Twitter as a product under X.

Just like X will never replace Twitter. That was a weird rebranding tbh. Meta at least makes some sense.

Doesnt sound like you know the outer boroughs that well if you think we need cars in Broolyn. Brooklyn as a whole is very well covered with subway and bus lines. You simply don’t need a car in Broolyn. Queens on the other hand is different. Although majority of the population in Queens has access to subway, a good chunk of the territory has limited access to subway lines. They can rely on public bus but that’s not always convenient. For those parts of Queens, I agree, you MIGHT need a car. Even staten island has its own subway line and busses. Most people on Staten Island has a car because it’s just more convenient to get out of the island.

You can’t have everything. No country is perfect but America is better off than most countries if we account for all the factors. Coming from a country with no political freedom, I am proud to be an American. There are a few youtubers who hated the US whwn they were young and went to live abroad for a decade only to come back to the US enlightened. I take it most of these polls are people that never lived abroad.

Those people should try to live in other parts of the world first. We have it good. So good. There are a handful of countries that are pretty decent but they lack economic opportunity, diversity, etc. You can’t have everything.

I get this comment a lot. A way to make yourself feel better? I know who you going to blame next, the big corps? Remember who they selling to. You! So yes, consumers are to blame. When Joe wants a bigger truck when he can get a prius or take the public transit, guess who’s to blame? Fighting climate change is all about inconvenience. Yall can’t handle the inconvenience and cost of a greener lifestyle. It’s much more convince to blame the government, the big corps, and the rich.

I have been to a few union jobs. I don’t like unions. I hate some of the folks there. They can’t be fired unless they do something really stupid. So most end up doing bare minimum.

Yeah, people are not going to stop taking vacations and stop consuming as they have been. Those who calling to do something, I bet they can’t even downsize their lifestyle. Let’s talk about co2 per capita. Let’s talk about Americans with 2+ cars n bigger cars. Let’s talk about food waste in America. America is probably one of the most wasteful country on this planet.

I am a hard-core green dude. Been at for about 15 years ago. Kind of gave up couple years ago. Not worth making my life inconvenient when the whole country doesn’t do jqcksht about it.

For those that has natural build for body building, sure, it might be fun. Not everyone is built to lift weights.
