For now I can

It’s the foundational concept of lemmy, and the main protection against enshitification.

But what do we see from that legacy now?

It bothers me so much. I wanted to pay for a friend’s ticket to visit us. By train, it was $200, a 16hr trip, of which 2/3rds was by bus thanks to Amtrack’s garbage infrastructure/system.

By plane for the same trip, it was a $180, 2hr direct flight.

It’s so god damn ass backwards. Trains produce a fraction of the emissions of planes, so why are we ok with trains being uncompetitive?

Um, acktually they’re government drones, not plants.

I’d rather take garbage addresses instead of the current trend of enshitification.
