Musk sabotaging this “centuries old technology” based project in 3…
The only reason Trump wants to do this, is because Elon would get the contract. Just another way to funnel taxpayer money into the hands of the PayPal Mafia.
Actually, Musk would embrace it and claim to invent the whole concept, say that no one has ever done it before, even while just rebranding a Siemens Mireo: https://tech.yahoo.com/transportation/articles/tesla-launches-worlds-first-electric-111535136.html
What if we made the Trump train… But instead of a train it was a car and instead of a railroad it’s a street.
Shhhhhh don’t call it a high speed rail or they’ll never buy it
This is exactly how you motivate a toddler.
At least the toddler grows up eventually
Actually I find “Here comes the airplane” to be way more effective.
… is this a 9/11 joke?
On an unrelated note I, another scary leftist, am so triggered every time I see a Tesla. Right wingers switching to EVs really makes me feel like an owned lib.
YES! I TOO MINDLESSLY HATE ELECTRIC CARS!
IF PEOPLE START ALL GOING ELECTRIC I WILL BE SO MAD I WILL RENOUNCE KARL MARX AND START EATING MEAT AND RETURN MY HAIR TO NORMAL COLORING
I SURE HOPE THEY DON’T START BUILDING NUCLEAR PLANTS
YES CYBERTRUCKS FOR EVERYONE. ALL MY MONEY TO MUSK!!! TIRE PARTICULATE IN THE AIR AND PAVEMENT OVER EVERY ECOLOGY! CHILD SLAVES MINING THE MATERIALS!!! YES!!!
With America’s amazing track record of spending big on repairs and maintenance to infrastructure, I can see absolutely nothing going wrong with this at all.
Okay forget rails, we put big fucking monster-truck tires on the trains and just crash through the countryside.
Just have the people who maintain the roads in michigan build it! What could go wrong!
Let’s declare a war on bad infrastructure! We can funnel all “War on Y” money in. America First! Let’s reduce unemployment with a huge jobs program. Hire everyone to build tracks, trails, and parks.
So, you’re not going to believe this, but…
Honestly at this point, we should just all fully get behind this tactic as I think it genuinely has a good shot of accomplishing more than taking politics seriously.
The giant, gaping flaw in your idea is that it requires leftists to all rally together and cooperate on a unified plan and actually work together.
You’re describing something very deep, while only touching the surface.
On the left, people are not very forgiving of other leftists, when they cross the line. And if you really cross the line, then we just don’t want you on our team anymore, gtfo.
On the right, it’s like no matter what you’ve done, as long as you fight for the same thing as the others, you can still be on the team. This is why you see artists make a shift to the right, just before a big scandal, they know they will still have a fangroup as long as they share rightwing propoganda.
This is great for the right wing in the short term, but eventually the techbros and the christofascists, and the Nazis will all realize that they don’t really have anything in common, except a desire to rule everything. “But not like that, like this!”
It’s gonna be interesting to see the showdown between all the different fascist groups Trump has under his flag.
Yes, fascism cannibalizes itself. This means that, in the end, fascism always collapses, however, that doesn’t prevent it from doing lots of damage in the meantime
At which point might as well elect competent representatives then lol
I half remember something like that happening in Brazil. The right proposes something the left approves, there’s no fight, they realize their mistake and start opposing their own idea.
I’m reminded of the time Mitch McConnell filibustered his own bill because too many Democrats supported it.
I would be happy if they just brought back the light rail that got people around in American cities 100 years ago before the car manufacturers bought up all the rail lines and shut them down. Crossing the country by train would be great but we need to be able to get across town first.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
It was General Motors. The toons in the movie were a non-political allegory for the black communities that were destroyed in real life.
Surely nothing bad will follow Nazis building trains.
Let me guess, this will become a gadgetbahn
Yeah fuck it I’ll support the Trump train
If trump managed to build effective high speed rail that goes coast to coast, hits more than just NYC and LA, and is affordable, I think history would probably end up forgiving him for a lot of shit.
Never gonna happen though.
It’d be Trumps “Hitler build the Autobahn”.
And there is no forgiveness either.
I wouldn’t trust it for a second. They’d use it to move minorities into camps more efficiently
Arbeit Macht Frei, baby.
That’s German for “All aboard the Trump Train!”
Only Arbeit is capitalized and its the only noun.
In german the capitalisation of words sometimes changes the meaning of the:
macht (from the verb machen, to do/make) Macht (as a verb means force/power/might)
I saw this double meaning several times, like the title of an art exibition: Geld Macht Kunst ( money, power, art or money makes art)
OK but you missed a golden opportunity to use the word Fahrt.
Yeah, they would arrest more Latinos without due process and have us build the rail as slave labor (contracted out to their corporate buddies, ofc.)
Or just a quick stop in the valley between Dry Mountain and Saline Peak near Death Valley to “drop off some passengers”.
Canadian here. No we fucking won’t.
It would make getting to DC for protests a whole lot easier.
Oh I would hate that so much. Good thing they will never do that. wink wink
Bold to assume he would build something for the benefit of the peasant class. Or create something where he cannot profit from financialy.
