Odd way to learn altman is gay.

Kinda shocked I've never seen a "worlds richest gay man!" Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-

Not gonna lie. Had me until the Cucker Tarlson and Zodiac Killer cameo.

Especially since were all afraid to embody the spirit.

Me included.

I just want busses. That tears up nothing.

I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.

I want passenger trains between cities where there's already railing. That tears up nothing.

Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?

I actually said they're a net negative and I stand by that.

Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I'll give you that.

But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.

That's true. I'm young ish and fully vaccinated so I've got a lot of years on humans from most of history.

Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

My family name is pretty uncommon outside of mexico and when you googled my dads name the top result used to he an obituary of another man with the same name, birthday, same KIDS name, same time served in the army, and same job as a truck driver.

Only difference is he was from southern California.

Also turns out we were kin as my great grand father was addicted to traveling the country and making babies.

Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

I just don't want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

I'll settle for a bike commute because that's 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

For all of human history, labor has always been a productive skill.

I can do labor in any era.
