 @yogthos Excuse me, but WHAT THE FUCK? Land of of the free and home of the brave? Lmao. 37% and probably more than half of those poor people even do it without getting any healthcare. Thirtyseven percent, unfuckingbelieveble.  @yogthos "We work twice as much as those russkis or those chinks. America, fuck yeah!" @yogthos ppl rather suffer to death than admit their system they believe in is wrong Voice of America: "Washington policy circles think Taiwan's KMT and the CCP are uncomfortably friendly" The fact that the prospect of friendly relations between the mainland and Taiwan makes them uncomfortable implies they are more comfortable with conflict.

Schedule? Maintenance? Interoperability with existing infrastructure? Speed is nowhere near the only thing that makes a transit system actually good and new fancy maglev feels a bit gadgety to me  @yogthos Germany built the first Maglev train in Shanghai - between Pudong airport and the outskirts of the city center, over 20 years ago as a flagship project. It didn't go that well with the capacity that China has of sucking dry all foreign projects happening on their soil. Germany then left the maintenance to China and didn't look back. Funny to see that 'program' resurfacing now considering the main hurdle the initial project had to fight was the enormous operating cost.
