It has nothing to do with ability (it can), and everything to do with reasoning and motive. The government (and party) only acting in their self interest means they'd share and push any explanation that wasn't nefarious. No they d

Yea, which is why trains costs are so sensitive to distance- it's massive up front cost is a function of that distance. It's not the stations, it's the rails and right-of-way. The problem most people ignore is that train marg

Air travel is generally more energy efficient than trains, beyond a 300-400 mile range, depending on what you're traveling over/through. Track and right-of-way is a scarce resource with large amounts of embedded energy. The sky, n

There's no legally spelled out condition, but one editorializes content and the other is content agnostic. The justification of 230's existence is that the host shouldn't be liable, because it's not their speech. That&#x

Intent doesn't require knowing for sure. Intent is just hope associated with an action. If I hope to hit the bullseye with my dart, but miss, it doesn't change my intention. Neither does a low likelyhood of success.
