Public transport

[Burgerman]

all working beutifully as normal.
I have a freind that is a daft southerner. So doesent have a car. She tried to visit in summer and the train wasnt running because the warm days warped the track. So they put her on a bus, that took twice as long and then broke down.
Today she is trying to get to her mums house. And predictably her train is not running... And the alternative dont exist.

You got to love public transport. Its totally hopeless, dirty, uncomfortabe, dangerous at times, and so unreliable that its unusable anyway.

But what bothers me the most is that as a sane normal person I have my own transport that actually always runs, when I want it, to wherever I want to go. But I have to SUBSIDISE the useless public transport because its so inneficient and unaffordable that it cannot stand on its own two feet. It would go bankrupt if it wasnt propped up by the drivers and tax payers anyway. And most of these subsidies are paid by those that have no or little access to public transport in the north of the country to prop up all the metropolitan elites in the shit hole that was once a great city. Why should we?

Ps. I agree public transport sucks.

Why should we?

The public sector works the same in all countries.
It's not working.
Add to it that now the private vehicle is an important piece...
The green socialists have set their sights on the private vehicle.

Its a desease. Even withut the green bullshit, socialism recently destroyed venuzuala.And the poor venuzualand still keep on votin socialist because they are desperate for yet more "wealth redistribution", which ran out years ago when there wasnt any left, and so th borrowing/ printing more cash etc started. So they can eat. Except theres little on the shelves, and what there is is unnafordable. Poor poverty striken venuzuala. All for nothing and because they thought socialism was a good idea.

Unfortunately, the disease is contagious...
People want the sweat of someone else's forehead to pay for their bread.
Here they are chasing cars as if their smoke is radioactive.
People don't want to fight for their freedom.
For my part, I don't have a car or a driver's license.

It doesent matter. You pay for socialims or socialist economics in your living standards. They just keep falling slowly, and it takes decades. YOU are paying for wealth redistribution, and green socialism, in the increased costs of everything you have to buy. It not just here, or spain, its across almost all of the once rich capitalist free market economies. The left are doing their utmost to destroy everything. They dont like nation states, borders, the rich, businesses making a profit, etc. Its all the politics of envy. A "legal" way to steal from the hard working, the successful, the rich, and from business. It was tested to death across much of the world since the whole of the last century. It ended in abject suffering and poverty and deaths of millions. But these newcomers dont know or remember that. They are taught a perverse version of history on TV, in schools, colleges, and by the whole lefty media. And they really believe all this socialist woke green nonsense. They fall for the crap because they are ignorant of reality or history.

This afternoon I had fun looking through a book of children's stories.
A book printed in the year 2022 and recommended for children from 4 years old.

In one story, a rich man was criminalized.
In another tale a man is evil for killing animals to eat meat.

Those are the things they teach kids these days.
They indoctrinate children from a very young age.

Where do they suppose the money to feed people at all comes from? Meat or anything else. The governent? Because under socialist economies it does! But the government have no money. They take it from that rich man. Who now has non left to invest in his company to make it competitive and grow food and employ people and fill the shelves...
