I don't know what this pic of Ron Perlman has to do with anything. Maybe he's one of the good ones!

I'm not sure I understand. Like right now I believe I've heard that Germany has a 60€ pass or something. How does that prevent demand from surging? Wouldn't the people who can't afford a car be the ones they would have more trouble with the 60€? Presumably the car people could pay for fare already.
Though it is true that they aren't, and maybe the idea is that they would ride the free train, because any price is enough to keep them as "car people"?
Right... but isn't the whole point of these passes to encourage people to use the systems?
I guess it's possible the price is chosen such that it encourages the right number of people and no more?
I agree!
Given your tone and general panic, I'm going to say don't look into Guix. It's technically interesting, but I don't think it's for you where you're at. 😛
And I mean this with love, not gatekeeping.
For hundreds, if not thousands, of years now nerds and their like have been saying "sports is dumb and boring and stupid" and for hundreds, if not thousands, of years now something like 40% of the population has loved them vehemently.
Might be worth someone looking into why someday...
I mostly agree, but I'll also admit something embarrassing: the first time I heard one, I didn't recognize the names of any of the groups or treaties mentioned, despite living in the area most of my adult life. So in that sense it educated me, and made it so their names are names I now recognize.
Sure, I could have looked it up, should have looked it up, but I didn't. And now I know.
I'm curious about these, this one and the German one people talk about. Obviously the price is meant to be a good price, but at that price why not just make it free? Do so many people buy the pass that it actually makes a noticeable income? Or is it just to keep very poor people from having it?

It's really easy! If you imagine that a black person and a white person could never be friends or spend positive time together, and then you saw a show that had them together, you might conclude the show is trying to convince you something is okay that you know is not. Propaganda.
If you imagine that a gay person is inherently wrong, and that bad things deserve to happen to them as punishment for their choices, and then you watch a show where a gay person is happy and normal and respected, you might conclude the show is trying to push an idea on you that you already know isn't right. Propaganda.
It's sad, and dangerous, but it's not complicated.

Right, yeah. Seems more like they're just not making the older model at all, probably haven't been for a while, and now the stock has run out.
