There was agency in policies promoting automobile adoption over rail travel. People who act like market forces are inevitable trends in nature tend to forget the political part where companies convince politicians to make policies in their favor, while bombarding the public with advertising. Like fossil fuel companies for example. Continued climate change wasn't inevitable. It was a choice humans with lots of money and power made and are still making.

- sciencejerk 1y agoI heard the AI clause didn't make it into the final version of the bill that was passed (?)
