  • The nice thing about electric trains is that they have no need for batteries. They are always connected to the grid so they don’t have to lug any energy around with them. This makes them lighter than a car who needs those batteries for off grid driving could ever hope to get.

    I’m just a train Stan and hate to think about all the money we spend on more dangerous and inefficient transport.

    Yeah this is a bad opinion.

    Arms don’t stop fascism per se (and have nothing to do with corruption), but they give the people targeted by fascism a chance. The people in the Warsaw uprising all died but they took some Nazis with them and probably saved some of the comrades.

    The Black folk in the south during Jim Crow who armed themselves made it risky to target them so it kept some racists away.

    Without the threat of violence from the oppressed classes, the oppressor would have even more success with the genocides.



  • Yeah. Thinkst Canary started their business without investors or anyone that would tell them to not use PayPal. Their product was a fucking hit and since that happened they were getting a lot of cash in their paypal account. The ceo was on Risky Business and said that years after PayPal closed their account, they were still out the few hundred thousand dollars that were in the account. Do not use PayPal, and if you must transfer whatever money you get to a traditional bank account asap.
