Russia was already obligated by treaty to not invade Ukraine. And why would NATO refuse to accept new members?

Like I said.

Deranged.

I mean you’re so deranged that you’d paint a terrorist organization which beheads children as a shining city on the hill. Your boos mean nothing to me - I have seen that which makes you cheer.

Ok tankie

Hey, a tankie citing a propaganda rag to apologize for the people intentionally murdering children.

You people lost the plot a long time ago.

Yes, when you combine a flammable substance and an oxidant, you can get an explosive. But hydrogen is flammable. It isn’t an explosive. Explosives have their own oxidants.

Hydrogen isn’t explosive, it’s flammable. Just like jet fuel.

🤣 you called me aggressive because I didn’t blindly agree with you

I know, I know, it’s annoying to think in complexities

Yeah, you didn’t read what I wrote, you just chose to be an arrogant ass. Fucking hell, you people are dickheads.

And if road infrastructure is neglected, then anything larger than a person can’t easily move in or out of the city. So, you need to invest in both. Buses, freeways, and in a very urban area, rail.

So now people who don’t want to ride a bus are “reactionaries?”

I totally agree, and we should be spending on public transit. But going to people and telling them that it is going to be a matter of public policy that they shouldn’t be driving?

By definition, if the road has more capacity, it is helping. It just isn’t helping enough to eliminate traffic. Unless you’re claiming that the larger freeways have the same capacity as the smaller ones, which doesn’t really make sense.

I would contend that while promoting densification is wise, allowing people to live where they want us also wise.

Which is why the smart decision is to invest in both.

Besides, if you add an HOV lane to a public highway, you can double it as a bus lane, improving public transit. Roads are like rails for buses, after all.

Which is why you do both. There’s lots of reasons people sometimes don’t use public transit. Refusing to modernize highway infrastructure will kill local industry and punish people whose commutes are inevitably not adequately covered by public transit because they fall outside the planning of the planners.

My wife worked a job in a city 20 minutes by car from her location in another city, in a major metro area. Transit would have taken two hours because the focus was on bringing people to different locations, not between where she was going and where she needed to go. No matter how well planned the network, you can’t massively cover every route and every time of day. You cover the primary commutes of most people.

Alright, you’ve been a jackass from comment one, and I’m ending this. GFY and have a nice day.
