I don't have particularly positive options about Pierre Poilievre and his gang of Maple MAGAs, but whoa boy, this exceeds my expectations of how f--ked up they are...

This also underscores why the US can no longer be the centre of global finance or digital online services. The US regime can't be permitted to sanction whoever they want.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, @ec.europa.eu officials told @politico.eu — a highly unusual gambit that left diplomats shaken after the meeting. /2

TSP is one difference. But the discarded coffee cup on the floor; trash and grime everywhere. An apparent lack of care for the system and streetscape in general. In some ways, we sorta get what we deserve. Remembered Byford would pick up litter on the subway, showing he cared. Wished we cared more.

The only place we might need "automonous driving tech" is where trains and other traffic interface like at road crossings or trams in mixed traffic and probably it is only there to detect an incursion on the tracks and react, otherwise it's so unnecessary.

Automatic Train Operations (ATO) already exists. Trains with the right signalling system already don't need drivers. And we already have electric trains, via overhead catenary. I don't understand why California startups are always trying to reinvent the wheel in the dumbest way possible.

It's like Pierre and Danielle are characters they play to hide or suppress their real selves. Weak, vulnerable, and stuck in their teenage past.
