I'd take it if it wasn't so goddamn slow. In San Diego the trolley system takes about 2x longer than driving. Once it took me a little over an hour to go somewhere that would've been a 20 minute drive. I exclusively use it now (or did before covid) for getting drunk downtown and not driving.

It's funnily enough a tech that's gotten worse over the years in America, mostly because the US has 1) not maintained it let alone upgraded it and 2) bending over backwards to make things better for cars at the expense of everything else. Historians have told me that it used to be 4 hours by train from Chicago to Minneapolis, which is at least as good as flying in terms of time.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minneapolis authorities are investing in six social media influencers, with a large local following, to help push their message and prevent riots during the murder trial of a fired police officer. On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council approved $1,181,500 for communication with the community during the trial.

The City says the six influencers will be intentionally targeting Black, Native American, Somali, Hmong and Latinx communities with their messaging during the trial. Each influencer will be paid a flat fee of $2,000.

If the cops are totally unaccountable legally, civilian "authorities" can't control them, and any cost necessary to defend them and keep them paid under any circumstances will be incurred at public expense, then we don't "have unaccountable cops." That implies the public "we" is an actor with agency and it looks like that's no longer true and the cops are defacto a ruling authority if not one that has unilateral power.

Yet.

so the city is spending $1,181,500 on a media blitz, but they're paying 6 influencers $2k each? wonder what the rest of the money is going toward. going out of their way to announce what they're doing with just $12k of that money kinda smells like a distraction

Starving in the 2035 post apocalyptic wasteland I move from house to house searching for unlooted beans

I open the pantry in a suburban kitchen, desperate, feeling the last of my strength leaving my limbs

One can of hormel stands untouched in the midst of smashed jars and opened cans

I grasp for it and the keys to a lambo fall out the bottom, leaving me beanless

This is the way the world ends

The year is 2069, world governments have collapsed, the law of kill or be killed is the only society people recognize

you find a can of hormel chili and eagerly open it in anticipation of staving off the hunger before roving marauders can get to it first or cut you open in hopes of salvaging its undigested leftovers

it is full of pre war scrip. Completely useless since only guns, gas, grilled iguana on a stick, and cryptocurrency are legal tender

Ahh yeah the "corned beef hash" that's showing a can of chili in our fantastic online world where you have millions of product listings using fake product images and content copied from a similar listing. Errors compounded and spread across your entire 3000 product catalog. Walmart opening to 3rd party sellers to compete with Amazon? Sure just export all 3000 products and import them. So what if all the errors propagate over? We gotta hit the ground running. The bullet points are formatted weird? The product content and content images didn't come over? None of the additional backend data is filled in? The product titles and content isn't optimized for walmart searches and you literally can't find a product by searching it's title? Walmart's under performing compared to Amazon because the listings suck? You notice thousands of other companies did the exact same thing during the rush leaving Walmart's shopping experience a complete crapshoot for both buyers and sellers? It's okay because if the customer has a bad experience and didn't get what they were expecting we'll just refund and they can send it back. Thousands of trucks burning fuel shipping poo poo back and forth for dumb crap like this surely won't have any negative side effects. Everyone's moving on to Target before fixing thier poo poo?

Great.
