trains are such a great example of how the future is here, if we want it and are willing to subsidize it
It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

Happy Independence Day to Haiti! 🇭🇹
The Western Hemisphere owes a huge debt of gratitude to the little island that wrested its independence from its captors.
World powers have tried to make Haiti into an example after it fought for its freedom, but the spirit lives on.
