its annoying when i hear people whine about how the filthy uneducated proles vote republican and dont agree with egalitarian principles or socialism or whatever, because in my experience, very, very loving few workers dont agree with statements like 'the police are far too heavy handed, and have too much power, while not doing enough to help people' and 'your boss makes too much money' and 'your landlord doesn't do anything for you but drain your checking account' what im saying is, these freaking so-called socialists need to start hanging outside of bars chain smoking and accomplish some real rear end organizing

cargo cult posted:hm yeah let me hang out with drunken white truckers and preach to them about socialism and definitely not get my head kicked in Those drunken white hillbillies you don't like (and are the ones I talk to, because I live among them) are historically the most revolutionary segment of society lol. They got overtaken by the Black Panthers etc in the 60s though because the FDR/Johnson programs largely made life better for farmers and miners and stuff.

cargo cult posted:none of this precludes them from being sincerely racist people which makes talking politics with them outside bars as a brown person inadvisable. maybe they had revolutionary potential fifty years ago but theres no point in fantasizing that thats still the case I'm a white Latino so maybe my experience is significantly different than yours but most of the racists I know are only brave when they think nobody will say anything, and generally when pushed on their beliefs don't have any materialist basis for their racism. It's just pure absorbed propaganda

My beef is the zoning in general because I've literally never seen a city that looks anything like a regular cities skyline city. I guess there's some suburbs that are similar though.

I kind of just want a city planning game where the only thing you control is municipal utilities, and your forced to plan around the more or less organically expanding city. Like instead of designing roads it's my job to balance road repair and underground work so that it doesn't gently caress traffic up too badly

Corky Romanovsky posted:Trains and street cars being superior and all, but would rural areas that are not a priority for installing that infrastructure, would they maybe benefit from ditching a bus schedule and moving to computer managed vehicle and route allocation? I don't know how it is done now, but busses in my hometown are incredibly inconvenient for those I have talked to (in part because the main hub doesn't really have a grocery store or other basic shops besides the occasional farmer's market). my county has a bus system which is hilarious because it covers maybe two towns, and really only the county seat at that. you can call and get a ride to the doctor or w.e. from a shuttle which is cool though.

ive eaten at many Mexicans restaurants owned by white people and you can taste the difference when the dipshit owner cant keep his hands out of the kitchen. either VERY mild or VERY spicy. The average caucasoid has either no, or broken taste receptors, and none of them know what green chile is either

ive never lived in a city so I dont know poo poo about poo poo but I always thought elevated trains or subways made the most sense. Ofc it's like a thing in movies that els are insanely loud if you live next to them but the light rail in Sacramento is pretty quiet except for the screeching traffic alarms.

Most of California is empty space even if it's a lot more densely populated than the midwest. Anyway especially along like, I-5 or something theres basically nothing out there actually next to the freeway. Put the maglev in the center divider and make the freeway traffic jealous. Although I bet wind shock from a train blasting by you at 200+ relative mph might be bad. My car shakes really bad when a big rig passes me at a red light or whatever.

i know you didnt ask me but people shouldn't study stem because most of stem work being done is completely unneeded or just outright fake work being used to graft VC companies and customers alike. sure, the world needs IT people and software coders. it probably needs about 10% of how many people work in those fields now. basically you shouldn't study it because it's the less sociopathic finance degree

net work error posted:The article also mentions how Amtrak has to share rails with freight and how the majority of rail in the country was built for freight usage which is a valid complaint. yeah, but like, these people always act like it would be impossible to just lay new tracks. oh dear, they might have to imminent domain some land and possibly grade an access road or two. which costs money, sure, but its not like we're talking about building a city on the moon or something

Corky Romanovsky posted:Japan does have issues with land rights. Sometimes you see a new 2-lane road suddenly narrow to an alley that cannot accommodate a car without folding the mirrors in, just for the length of one pre-wwii house that they haven't been able to find the owner of for 30 years. Same for some rail lines. thankfully the united states has eminent domain at every level of government which usually gets used to gently caress poor people but could, theoretically, be used to gently caress rich people. well, every level besides special tax districts i guess.

GotLag posted:Congrats on using the existence of a few dipshits to call every leftist who cares about the environment an ecofascist, I guess. im discussing self described eco socialists. most socialists/communists are of course also ecologically concerned, but these types are just like 'end heavy industry and industrial agriculture tomorrow' and if you ask a question like 'ok how do you feed 7 billion people on hand tool agriculture' they just ignore you or claim that Big Grain is lying about how much labor it takes to produce a kilobushel or something. then theres the more important questions like 'how do you feed a modern city without industrial logistics when a lot of them aren't on rivers or the rivers have dams/reservoirs and you cant just float a barge down it any more'

Venom Snake posted:have the navy (which hasnt had a nuclear incident in it's entire history) build em' and run em' all. there you go, done tbf the DoE test facilities that they worked the kinks out had accidents. But that was like 'how do we even build a controllable reactor' days. All the more modern gently caress ups are private companies or horribly mismanaged and underfunded government agencies. Weird how the well funded and generally well run navy nuke program doesn't have these problems despite being much smaller and harder to cool than large facilities

Retromancer posted:The biggest hurdle to decarbonization is air and sea travel anyway. I don't know if there's any plan to decarbonize those other than "magically develop synthetic jet fuel" or "hand nuclear reactors over to the merchant marine, it'll be fine." well frankly we'll never get civilian nuclear surface vessels that aren't developed and initially staffed by nuke veterans anyway so we might as well finish the job and just roll some of the infinite contractor graft into expanding TRANSCOM to basically be the USPS but international and for cargo sized loads. aren't nuclear vessels already significantly faster than diesel-electrics. it probably makes every kind of economical sense except the initial r&d and the fact you'd have to pay your employees worth a poo poo
