Nor is it the first battery powered train in the world or even first in Germany where this giga-train operates.

But being caught in a lie would destroy your clout instantly. If they’re competing for clout there would be a big incentive to prove the competition wrong.

Only if the ones being killed are sworn enemies would there be a positive sentiment but that isn’t the case. At best the atrocities are not mentioned If there is a big advantage in trade, economics or military advantage. In this case it’s the military advantage for the USA that’s the key. If not they’d be known as genocidal maniacs until the current leader dies and memories fade after a few decades.

The bigger the genocide, the bigger the “anti” becomes. It’s not a mystery.

public transit is how you get around without a car

Except later in the evening when many lines stop or get very infrequent. Catching that late movie? Walk home.

Getting the kids in public transportation in a hassle. Teaching them to bike and have a safe environment for them to bike in is more fun.

Cargo bikes to move groceries, little kids and other stuff is easy enough. Getting those groceries on public transportation is not that easy.

And a bike is usually much faster to go over one or two stops instead of waiting for the bus.

Both public transportation and bikes have their use.

We’re still finding bombs from world war 2 from time to time in a field or during construction. One area in France, Zone Rouge, is still “Impossible to clean. Human life impossible.”

War leaves scars on people and the land.
