I feel this is positive news moving in a positive direction. Do you suggest not doing anything to improve the situation? We can’t go back in time. But we can help ourselves in the future.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoI feel this improvement is negligible. I doubt you'll see any meaningful change in your lifetime. At best you'll see an electric car renaissance. But the infra for trains and public transit? Doubtful.
- readdit 2y agoIt’s still a positive change an I’m all for it.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoI'm all for positive change too. But as someone who isn't delusional, I have to account for practicality rather then dreaming about an unrealistic future.
- dhosek 2y agoI think it’s more that Americans seem to be surprised by things that people in other countries have known for decades. Meanwhile, the current administration is trying to send us back to the 19th century in civil rights, healthcare and energy policy.
- tifik 2y agoOf course its positive news. Of fourse we cant go back in time. Its still good fun to poke at US for being so late on these discoveries.
- lmm 2y agoOne way to help yourselves in the future would be to learn the meta-lesson that actually things that work in other countries mostly work the same way in the US too.
- brookst 2y agoOh, we all know. It’s just convenient to pretend otherwise sometimes.
- dylan604 2y agoSome people take your word for it, but some people just have to touch the stove to learn that it is hot.
- saagarjha 2y agoThe US has been pressing its palm against the grill for a while now.
- Nemo_bis 2y agoYes this whole thread is so depressing. Most commenters here are talking as if electric trains were an oddity. It's like listening to people questioning the benefit of running water over the old school walk to the well.
