If this event was held in a field just outside town I would be looking super forward to it. You watch next they are going to do a tractor pull and mud races

We didn't need a sequel to idiocracy.
Seriously let's let Terry Crews wrestle Trump for the presidency.
Exactly what I was thinking about. President Camacho approves.
Camacho understood there was a problem, he found the most competent person to solve that problem, promoted him and gave him the resources to solve the problem, and managed to solve that existantial problem this way. Sounds nothing like what the Trump administration would ever do.
I would far rather have a president camacho. But to be fair they only got him after centuries of decline
This is more of a prequel.
True.
The picture of the white house in front of the white house somehow gives me a powerful message: everything in this place is fake.
The White House is a 1950s fake anyway
We've been 'building' a high speed rail route here in the UK for over a decade now. It'll probably not be finished for another 10 years, isn't going to reach as many cities as first planned, will probably cost as much as m**k is worth by the end, tickets will likeky cost you three legs and you'll no doubt always arrive at your destination late!
I get your point, but don't get too jealous of the idea!!
That's due to corruption, not because ~~AVEs~~ high speed rails are hard to build (and the UK is much flatter than Spain..)
I don't think it is (only) corruption. I blame two things, on one side there is no meaningful and certainly no long term political support for high speed rail infrastructure, neither in politics nor among voters on the other side legislation is seriously anti-rail development. Laws are tough on any infrastructure projects, causing overheads larger than the actual construction costs (possibly even multifold larger) but they are especially hostile against rail projects and even against operating rail.
Geography isn't even part of that equation, it is an entirely different debate. (California is not so different from Spain, dry, mix of mountains and flats etc)
I understood that some stupid old laws were involved too, allowing any random village to veto infrastructure like this (sounds good in theory, but doesn't really work in practice)
Also modern ones, such as animal protection laws requiring a 900m tunnel to protect bats, at a cost of £100 million.
If only. It’s the universal western sickness of every change being up for endless debate, hearings and vetoes while doing nothing is seen as the default. Of course doing nothing is just as much a choice as doing something…
And yet it’s likely to get much worse, after we recover from seeing what happens when you DOGE it. The only bright spot here is the more illegal actions can be eventually walked back in court. That doesn’t undo the damage, but we’re going to need more laws like that
We in germany got u. We have this mega-project called 'Stuttgart 21', and it is going to be the new main station for Stuttgart. The completion was originally planned for 2019. It got repeatedly delayed, with the latest date for completion now being 2031. It is also severely over budget. If it comes to incompetence for mega-projects, germany is number 1 lol.
Worst competition ever
Stuttgart 21 is terribly late and over budget but it is a reasonable project in my opinion, even if many see that differently. There are some issues with it but overall it will be a considerable upgrade. Very substantial progress has already been made.
That said, Germany is a really negative model for rail development in Europe. It is still on another planet compared to the US though.
And Brandenburg Airport.
We don’t even have a shitty long distance high speed rail to talk about, so we have to admire yours.
Damn it nitro circus. I used to think you guys were cool when I was a kid
Motorsport politics is like Russian Roulette with a semi-auto, unfortunately.
That’s where I’m at. I used to play as Deegan on Freekstyle all the time. Nitro Circus is dead to me now.
Kids and adults with kid-development-level brains think that this is still cool. You don't need to feel shame for maturing.
I mean, it's uncool because of giving in to Trump's garbage, but it's still cool on its own
My non-american mind failed to understand why a picture of seemingly the white house is infront of the white house?
The view from there is currently blocked by the UFC ring they’ve been building for a couple weeks now
Is that a picture of the white house on scaffolding?
It’s a picture of the White House on meth and stupidity.
No, there's a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It's a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea "as a joke" of just keeping it in place permanently "for other events".)
for other events
i can think of one or two.........
Putting all the billionaires in a cage fight allowing the last one standing to survive?
The survivor doesn't keep their wealth
Sigh..... yes. I don't even know what's happening anymore.
Some countries also have cheap in-country flights, unlike Canada. It's cheaper for us to travel Canada to Europe or Mexico than across our own country. This to me is a big problem. I'd like to travel more in my own country.
Id prefer we have highspeed rail tbh.
one of those it's so bad that can't help but laugh
High speed fail.
Why not both?
Edit: To be clear I meant bike jumping not celebrating the orange pedo in any way.
Because I don't want my tax money being used to celebrate a pedophile's birthday.
I just meant the bike jumping.
I have zero issues with the bike jumping by itself. That shit is kind of rad.
It’s a lot of fun to watch at a fair or small town arena. I really prefer my country’s seat of governance to be at a higher level than a county fair though
