Molotov Cocktail?

If California High Speed Rail ever connects SD to SF then that trip should take only 4hours. That is the beauty of proper high speed rail.

Lake Epstein and be done with it.

When you include airport security the train is faster than flying.

implement proportional representation.

Actually not the case. France, Italy, Greece, Hungary and Lithuania do not have it either.

People do not park in pedestrian zones. They usually get towed if they do. People usually take the fastest form of transport. When you have to search for parking, they usually mentally think of that and use other forms of transport instead. Even in car brained places like the US, it is not like Central Park in New York City is a giant parking lot even though there is clearly massive demand for parking in that area.

Erdogan and Israel are nearly shooting at each other in Syria. Obviously Greece is thrilled about that. Add to that oil and gas fields in the Med, where Israel and Greece have joined forces to keep out the Turks and you have a pretty good idea why Greece likes Israel so much.

Try “Belgian driver convicted of murder over carnival car crash that killed seven people”

Guy literally got convicted of murder and it is still just a “crash”.

Hell you can even murder police and get a headline like: "Police sergeant dies from injuries after officials say man intentionally rammed into his motorcycle"

Hell no. Western reporting will run headlines like “Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds”. In car crash that would be something like “During tensions between Israel and Gaza children have passed away UN inquiry finds”

Nice of Trump to send billions to Canada…

The big advantage is that the 180th meridian ends up in a very unpopulated part of the world. It is Chukotka Oblast and more importantly Fiji. For the current 0meridian style maps, that is two edges being without much population and not cutting too many continents.

And more EVs are being sold.

The billionaire businessman faces a David-and-Goliath battle to challenge Eurostar’s 30-year monopoly and bring some Virgin magic to the cross-Channel route

Yeah the small weak billionaire…

He has to win the election and this makes him look like shit.

Not just southern states, but also other countries. The biggest one was China, which opened up in the 90s. But also the former Warsaw Pact countries with the fall of the Soviet Union, India and a bunch of other ended up part of the globalized supply chain. Then you have women entering the work force, who ended up mostly in non union jobs. Oh and new industries rarely unionized.

Why would Germany buy Gripen? They are part of Eurofighter, which is about as good as Gripen. Especially if you are worried about the US not delivering parts. After all the Gripens engine and a lot of other parts are from the US. Eurofighter can be build without US parts.

So by buying F-35 Germany gets a nuclear capable stealth fighter. We have seen how they were able to operate over Russian made air defence system without too much of a problem in Venezuela and Iran.

I am not talking about the debt of the US, but what the US pays Israel being peanuts compared to the kind of money the US government has.

The “Trump Strait” can not even be penetrated properly after using literally tons of explosives…

Given the size of the US economy that is peanuts. Bill Clinton managed to pay for Israel and have a balanced budget. The real truth is that the US has cut taxes for the rich. That meant less income and still old levels of spending, hence more debt.

In 2013 the $100 bill got a security feature upgrade. The $20 did not.
