Correct ✅. No current industry is going to let their cash cow get slaughtered, nor give up any power. None.

It’s why the don’t require seniors to retest for their licenses too. They would need to provide ways for those seniors to get around.

GENUINELY one of my favorite things about visiting Japan is how effective public transport is

Dont forget the insane amount of money car insurance companies rake in from good drivers who never have to make a claim.

what I can't wrap my head around is, why did they not take this information they had on the effects that fossil fuel use would have and get the Monopoly on green energy?

They were right. Money IS the root of all evil.

Like I love cars, I love driving cars, but I truly would give my all to help have a national high speed railway system and to give public transit a large increase that comes from my taxes.

There’s another reason it’s hard: landowners. When you build high speed rail you have to cross a LOT of major landowners land (people with tens of thousands of acres) - they are rich, and want to ensure their land isn’t damaged. By comparison, a data centre will pay SO much to its one landowner it has no issues, but all the surrounding ‘landowners’ (single home owners) who may number tens of thousands, they can just be ignored, because they’re not rich.

we need to call these new data centers what they are: surveillance centers

I believe big oil is also the reason why corporations ditched WFH and instead went back to in-office. Big oil wasn’t making the same kind of profits when people didn’t need to commute 5+ days a week to work.

I always wondered why we never had a public transit system like other countries, would provide jobs in all fields really

not having a car & living in a walkable city with good public transit has, conservatively, saved me $35k over the past 7 years.

This was really informative. I hadn’t thought about the cascading effect of prices of oil based products if you improve the transportation grid through rail. Nice video. I think in order for anything to change they will need to be forced. Period.

Imagine all the jobs that could be recreated if we just expanded our railway system

I keep seeing videos about this stuff and it just makes me wonder… what do we even do. Like I’ve heard over the years “write to your local senator” BUT THEY ARE BEING PAID OFF. Seems like most people agree that everything is corrupt, but what do we so about it.
