Such a rare take these days.

Bauer said the whole system is “struggling.”

“I pay a lot of taxes and I want the transit to be good,” he said. “As a growing city, we really need to be doing better when it comes to our transit, especially with people being called back to work.”

The right wing take of taxation is theft is mediocre but the left has also become really bad at this as well.

Like the recent with Canada Post here. Even in a casual setting where no one is vying for populist votes there's still no room to scrutinize the current day operations and reassess whether those resources would be better reallocated.

This is why mamdani campaigned free fast buses. Give the people what we want.

And Hafthor Bjornsson can lift 500kg. I guess that means small cranes are shit?

In my city, there is a LRT/Bus I take to visit a friend. It takes me about 5 mins longer to walk there then by transit, 45 mins by transit 50 mins on foot

I could do that as well, easily! It might take a while, I'd chop those 500 up to more handleable 20kg or so, and I might need some breaks.

And snacks.

I’d just use a lever.

The running is more impressive though, as he wasn’t run over by a vehicle.

But we can agree on the snacks, right?

I'm thinking of those crispy puff pastry-cheese things, maybe some veggie sticks with hummus, some olives, a cheese board, some fruit, ...

Don’t forget the shrimp chips!
