bradorsomething@ttrpg.networkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Wages are stagnant and cost of living is ridiculous. Are we headed for a crash?20·16 hours agoMore of a slow collapse than a crash. Ever seen a dilapidated house on a country road, parts of the roof caving in, paint chipped, vines covering the yard? We’re working on being that house by slowly letting social and physical infrastructure in the US collapse over time.
You can keep asking, but over time you’ll learn less and less and never get the whole answer.

bradorsomething@ttrpg.networkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?4·1 day agoAmtrak doesn’t own the rail line in most areas, so the trains are regularly halted to allow commercial cargo to pass.

bradorsomething@ttrpg.networkto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lynard Skynard talks about Sweet Home Alabama, but I don't know if that states has anything worth mentioning?3·2 days agoSome interesting history from the song (I lived there as a kid). The lyric “In Birmingham they love the governor, now we all did what we could do,” is about Wallace winning the whole state but losing Birmingham soundly. To pay them back, he shut off road funding, and for years, the interstates stopped in midair on the way into town.
Edit: to talk about the state itself, it has some of the worst roads in the nation. The beaches are flat and rather milquetoast. The pine forests are beautiful when it’s not hot and humid. There have been a number of comments about the wealth disparity, and that’s big all along the gulf of mexico.
The battleship in Mobile is pretty cool, though.

bradorsomething@ttrpg.networkto News@lemmy.world•The first American ‘scientific refugees’ arrive in France42·4 days agoPlease expand on how the highest paying research is corporate, and how that proves your point. It sounds very much like the hand-wavy stuff people say before they start yelling because they have no argument, but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Are you yourself a researcher?
