I will always associate rent control with Strongbad-Man. Specifically, his quest to use up the municipal water supply by leaving the taps on in a rent controlled apartment. "And utilities are included!"

Sounds like an enemy of the workers, for while his actions appear on their surface to be targeting the landlord, the wider social repercussions are regressive and favor the capitalists.

I thought they all just flushed the toilet at the same time, causing a massive pressure drop in the shittily funded municipal water supply that somehow dropped pressure in the equally shittily funded nuclear power plant causing Chernobyl Part 2?

An acquaintance is doing a 4-day train trip across the US, which is apparently the nonstop travel time of the trains in question without stopovers for sightseeing or whatever.

I like trains, but I'm not sure I'd want to be locked inside one for literally 4 days straight. Surely trips of similar length are available at more reasonable durations elsewhere?

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


1) The US is loving massive, driving in a car coast to coast is 3-4 days so it's not that weird
2) Yes, US passenger rail is infamously bad and slow. Civilized countries have much better trains.

There's a good thread about leftist YouTube aka breadtube here https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3882331

If you're unfamiliar with that part of YouTube then a good starting point is videos by Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube, Shaun and Hbomberguy. They all talk about a wide range of issues from fascism and free speech to sexuality and bigotry, interspersed with comedic elements and - for contrapoints and philosophy tubes later videos - a theatrical flair.

Other worthy mentions are Three Arrows, Thought Slime and Peter Coffin.
