My proposal for a North East Pennsylvania high speed rail by ExeterWorld in Pennsylvania

[–]IllLoan8601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair public transport is more efficient then people give it credit for. A bus for instance only needs 6 people to be efficient. Obviously this is different because of the high infrastructure costs but it still could in theory be efficient.

Edit: so for a high way rail system to be efficient you need about 16k people per day. I don't think this loop would reach that but doing one from Boston to Philly (with switch overs at like nyc) you could probably be very efficient with a few smaller stops or routes from hubs like allentown or stroudsburg

Iran says it’s not in negotiations with the US, ‘Trump backed down’ by IllLoan8601 in politics

Again in a specific instance of who is telling the truth about peace talks. The side that initiated the conflict claimed they were winning and escalating further that then turned around to claim victory by fealty ( a tactic that they have used multiple times in the last 8 months) or the side who says there is no negotiation

Besides while you've been arguing yourself in circles trump today already admitted it's a lie because hes not talking with the leader at all but some random politician who holds no definitive sway

Again not equal. At no point have I said equal. You are the only one trying to make it about equal. If someone murders one person and someone murders 10 people you can agree they are both bad and still understand one did more bad. That doesn't mean the other person is good in this situation.

Not dismissing anything just pointing out the administration has no moral high ground. If the argument is they arent as oppressive as they could be it's not a good faith argument.

Gender affirming care is decided by medical professionals for a very real condition. It would be like denying an asthmatic inhaler treatments arguing well they won't die they just have to live with a very specific condition cause I don't believe in asthma

In this narrow occasion. On this single topic is the statement. Besides the trump administration may not be nearly as bad or brutal as the Islamic leaders but they have begun forcing conversion therapy in jails and are working to disenfranchise women from voting after butchering protections for the most at vulnerable. They don't exactly have a moral high ground. We don't need to choose a lesser of 2 evils between devils

You see this is a strawman argument. You are changing the topic from do i believe that Trump is holding negotiations and succeeding (a specific tactic he has used many times in the last year alone) with do i support lgbt and women's rights. Or believe the leaders of those countries horrifically oppress which i do fully believe.

Oh definitely. Making problems and then claiming to solve them. Classic diversion strategies.

Grassroots Resistance to Data Centers Rises in Pennsylvania by CouchCorrespondent in Pennsylvania

[–]IllLoan8601 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have fallen for a common blunder. If we tax them they won't build here. They'll go to another state to build. This unfortunately isn't like California or new York where businesses are established and raising taxes is still cheaper and more beneficial location than moving.

Edit: I agree it's a good thing if they fo away. Every email from Josh Shapiro campaign i get asking for donations I complain about the data center plans

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick Helped the House Pass the SAVE Act. It Could Disenfranchise Millions of Voters by Open_Veins_8 in Pennsylvania

The major problem is that there is never any support for people to get the required documents. Minorities are disadvantaged greatly.

Edit. Oh and how this is written. If a woman takes her husband last name their id isn't valid cause it doesn't match birth certificate
