In His presence the mountains quake and the hills melt away; the earth trembles and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before His fierce anger?

why doesn't California have some kind of pan-Californian high speed monorail or w/e

societies in the endstage of decline are too decadent to maintain their existing infrastructure, let alone carry out large scale civil engineering projects

uh, maybe you didn't read yeats but there's this poem about like the wide gyro or w/e anyway i guess if you try to cram too much kabob in it then the center will get soggy and then you'll get depressed and start slouching

e: the sandwich isn't literal it's called a metaphore idk it's too complicated to explain if you don't get it

What if you made a bus line, except make it for longer distances and carry more people

You could give it its own space to run, so it doesn't have to travel with other traffic, and it can be more efficient.

Since you know the path it will take, you only have to make one narrow path for this long-range bus

Since it's only going to travel along that path, you could make the road surface more suitable for the type of wheel that is used. You could use metal, since it's stronger than concrete, and then you could also reduce tire wear on this metal road by using metal wheels.

The path is fully set, so you don't need a steering wheel or anything, you could just automate that part (or have one person press buton)

okay but if it isn't free to build and also ride then i will just buy a car because a hot babe will hug and kiss me if i have a car but will laugh at me if i ride a big bus that i have to pay for but don't even own
