People don't realize that the US is pro-crypto because it increases the demand for US dollar demoninated debt (e.g. short term T bills, through tether or usdc)

A compelling plan for a GO-train network in Ottawa.

"In GO's charter, there is nothing specifying that it's exclusive to the GTHA"

A few states like South Dakota and New Mexico do surprise though.

This one upsets me the most.

Spending millions to change alignment & go deeper to 45 meters for the 20-40 homes & 15-23 yards of affluent ppl.

This project brings access to one of the fastest growing areas in the country, giving transit access to millions. Slowing it down for a few ppl is selfish.

Non-Anglo Western European countries have not forgotten how to build transit.

Spain builds at a unit cost rivaling China.

Canada needs to learn infrastructure from Spain.
Madrid tripled the length of its metro system in just 12 years, faster and cheaper than almost any other city in the world.

Left: in 1994
Right: after 2007

Cost per mile: £64–91 million

(around 7x cheaper than London's Jubilee & Northern line expansions & 14x cheaper than Toronto's Ontario line)

Bernie gives an honest critique of how the democrats have lost their way and some valuable lessons from the election.

Michael, representative of the establishment, has a hard time admitting to any of it.
