It can't be stated enough: the genoa bridge tragedy was directly caused by privatizing infrastructure.

It was inevitable, because for-profit business is incompatible with things like "long-term maintenance". This is what happens when you hand over your roads to Benetton fashion group.

We all know somebody there ran the numbers that the expected compensation they'd have to pay in the event of a collapse was less than what they could save by skimping on maintenance, they were just smart enough not to write it down.

No clearly privatizing everything isn't the problem, the problem is now those people are being charged with crimes! Can't stifle the innovations of capitalism with wasteful government spending that way

I dared to suggest yesterday that my boss and I could get a cappuccino to go while driving to Sicily at 5 in the morning at the AutoGrill, and he looked at me like I was about to lose my job. We drank the Cappuccino at the Autogrill.

Also, prosciutto and Buffalo mozzarella sandwiches are S-tier.

english is absolutely a common peoples language. it is conpletely full of bullshit, you can barely speak it and be totally understood, and chairs arent female. its basically impossible to sound cool or sexy while speaking it as everyone sounds like a toaster oven.

learning to write it has to be a nightmare though

Italian is not hard to learn but it's hard to practice cause there's like hardly anything to watch or read in Italian that's worthwhile that isn't already in English. All the books they read are translated English books and all the TV shows they watch are dubbed poo poo from other countries.

I need to sharpen my Italian skills to show my nephew around italy when he's old enough but it's hard cause like what the gently caress am I gonna do to practice. Read tex willer comics?

This is exactly my problem. You basically have to live in the country to get decent at Italian. At least I haven't met an Italian yet that is upset with me or rude if I am making an rear end out of myself while trying to communicate in Italian. :v:

so before my VACATION TO ITALY i spent around 6 weeks doing Duolingo italian. the hardest part of it 100% was how embarrassed i felt speaking it. i had 2 choices: speak with an American accent and sound like a stupid rear end in a top hat, or attempt the sing-song Italian accent and sound like a stupid rear end in a top hat.

i mostly chose the former and still have residual embarrassment

fwiw this was my experience using incredibly basic italian, i got the sense they appreciated my embarrassing attempts rather than just starting everything in english.
