what are the odds that these train derailments are just domestic terrorists finding out they can cause massive amounts of damage with like no exposure just like with the power substations

Mr Hootington posted:As was said yesterday Thorn is actually a far right poster who thinks he is a centrist liberal. We have neolib centrists like Bar Run Fun, shrike82, and Jaxyon, but there it is very clear Thorn is not like them. yes, pushing back against the predominant "omg everything is collapsing  " narrative of this thread makes me a far right poster, for sure! you're a genius, and the IK this thread deserves

Spoondick posted:i think one of the first industries to adopt ai to significantly reduce workforces will be call centers, in the near future when you talk to a help desk, answering service, telemarketer, etc you're going to be talking entirely to a computer I worked in various call centers starting with supporting Comcast High Speed Internet in 2001 before burning out really hard in 2014. A current AI absolutely could have done my job. However, it might lead to the AI deciding that humanity cannot be allowed to live.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:yes, pushing back against the predominant "omg everything is collapsing Maed posted:"While recording 777 million train-kilometers in 2019 (train-kilometers are the measure of a train traveling the distance of one kilometer), 1,338 derailments took place in the country. The EU, by contrast, only saw seventy-three derailments that year despite, by one count, recording 4.5 billion train-kilometers. For Japan, the same year saw more than 2 billion train-kilometers, according to Knoema, and only nine derailments. (In fact, the number of derailments in Japan over the past twenty-one years alone is roughly one-eighth of the amount the United States sees on average in a single year)."

It's also normal for nobody to care. Even gun-addicted Americans won't even do the American thing about it because people here only do that to respond to the existence of black people or women.

when you ignore the growing and rampant food insecurity, crumbling healthcare industry, aging population, plummeting insect populations, slow corrosion of coral reefs, blatant rise of fascism in the face of economic change, growing lack of accessible clean water, migration of refugees away from conflicts and crumbling political institutions, and so on, everything really is fine

If the unions are in any way involved in the train details it's probably only publicizing them.
