Actual emissions taxing is basically a necessary step when it comes to air travel - currently, the fuel is completely tax free and that's not great. Take all of that money and pump it directly into rail, which is the actual way forward for intra-continental travel.
It will get more expensive and less accessible for lower income people. There's just really no way around that.
Normally I will default to siding with workers, but I'm not siding with the pilots on this one. No way.
The old rules don't apply under Trump unfortunately
Rejecting harm reduction predictably leads to full harm.
Barring societal collapse I believe I will be able to retire, but that's only because I've gotten extraordinarily lucky in life.
As mentioned in the video, these are pretty hostile to pedestrians. Without knowing too much about the subject, I wouldn't be surprised if roundabouts beat them handily - why else would countries with better road safety opt for roundabouts over diverging diamonds?
It's also when using a blocked word on lemmy.ml, but will only show as such for users of that instance.
The r-word is on that list, and I believe the b-word might be as well.
Return without a deal? I'm not sure that's going to be good for the union long-term.
Porn isn't going anywhere. LoL
Give Project 2025 a read. Wild things in there.
Gay marriage? It's already dangerous to just come out, let alone get married.
Thanks to who?
And contraception? They'ren already losing that one too in many states thanks to local governments anyway.
Literally a direct cause of the last Trump administration.
Barring some technical breakthrough, I am inclined to agree.
We can and should build extensive high-speed rail networks, though. This will provide intra-continental mobility at a price affordable for everyone. While gratuitous trips to the other side of the world will no longer be feasible, fast intra-continental trips can in many cases take their place. Flying can remain a niche for when it's completely unavoidable, in which case we should be able to absorb the emissions.
