Because people dont accurately represent their situations? This seems so silly. West Virginia has a huge culture of music singing about how its a state of coal miners, when in reality, there are less than 15k working in the coal mines, with

What specifically would you have preferred Biden do differently? The rest of the world also dealt with massive inflation, and most other economies have not. There is no magic formula that would've made our economy recover with insane

I didnt say its Caltrains fault anywhere, I simply gave suggestions on how they can make public transit down the Bay significantly better, which should be their overall goal. Its also very relevant since their ridership is only <40% of p

This is such a weird comment. If transit systems arent built around people's housing and employment, its useless. San Francisco is a huge city, with a significant population that commutes south as well. Even if the transit was original

They are piloting fares carrying over between transit rides, which could be a great solution for the people who think it’s too expensive. In general, taking public transit is already cheaper than driving, but it would be really really good

Bart would be great, but Caltrain is already there, and is electrified now. I definitely support bringing it all under one roof, but for now I just think it’s important to actually get Caltrain on a functional schedule. In the future, I’d l

Even better than expanding 101 and 280 would be to vastly improve the public transit down the peninsula. There is no reason going from my apartment in SF to San Mateo should take over 90 minutes via public transit. There should be constant

Its also probably because Elon's companies do insane shit brazenly, without even trying to hide it. Shotwell said they were fired for being involved with the letter, in writing.

Yes? Everyone knows there was more inflation than usual. It has literally dominated headlines for the last year and a half.

Not to put any blame on you or anything, because rents are crazy, but median wages have risen pretty significantly over the last few years. You definitely should be looking for a raise, or a new place of work.

This is pretty interesting, but Id be surprised if it actually happens on the next flight. Depending on the cost of the tanks/fittings/machines, it could be a fairly expensive loss if Starship doesnt reach orbit, which seems fairl

How is stuff like this so hard to understand? If you really need to carry something big, or cant walk (and dont have accommodations?), you can just use a car as needed. The point is to make the need for a car as small as possible.

Can you specifically say how we are going into communism? Specific laws being passed perhaps? It sounds like you are entirely putting your feelings over actual facts.
