The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Emotional Support Crocodile has a point. The mists of time have dimmed the memory, but in the Before Times there were dedicated attempts by certain moderators to end TET. Those moderators may not be around anymore, ravaged by the tribulations inflicted upon them by NationStates General and worse, but we cannot be certain. One of those moderators may be behind you right now.

It did amuse me to be in a thread on here a week or so ago with people telling me an AI could never create anything original, while having an original image created by an AI as my flag.

All kidding and personal expressions of frustration aside, we do know how to run a railroad.

If you work for a contractor and not the authority you can make real money. Its a shame more folks don't go into railroad engineering.

Here in Boston, our issue is older lines. And the snow will mess stuff up. But there's aggressive, daring expansion all the time. I just wished they also fixed the current stuff.

Fixing what you have isn't sexy. A politician can't claim credit for cleaning the track switches, or making sure a underground platform has adequate ventilation. A Shiney new station or elevator can be on local TV.

even the ADA projects the rabbit is referring too will add about 500 elevators to what we have now, and we can't maintain what we have now.

Want to make over 100k a year in three years?
learn to fix elevators and escalators and work for transit.

It was either that or study genocide and I clearly choose the much more depressing option.
