@EMI_Black_Ace @LadiesOfReddit https://t.co/8P8cYV5VkT for Japan and Amtrack's costs

https://t.co/TZiujGiENb for average US highways costs

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@EMI_Black_Ace @LadiesOfReddit Amtrack is $69.8 per mile per day or $0.3 per passenger mile per day. For Japan's rail is $0.02 per passenger mile per day. The more passengers the more cost effective rail is. (as passenger pay for its maintenance unlike highways and roads)

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@EMI_Black_Ace @LadiesOfReddit They literally do. US average is $76.77 per day per mile.

@bmw54Oi @LadiesOfReddit Is this brain damage? Public infrastructure is not supposed to be profitable.

That is the point of a government existing and why you pay taxes. Your taxes are not supposed to pay for wars in the middle east. They are supposed to be used to make your life easier.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@DickDozer69 @LadiesOfReddit No, they are not. Toll roads are not profitable. They are subsidized by the government because they do not even make enough for self maintenance.

@Alberta_boy18 @Skeleman71 Due to Russian sanctions over the past 30 years they provide less than 10% of the world's diesal. The Ukraine changed that to 7%.

Its almost like most of the oil in the world comes from somewhere else that is currently having issues...

@DavidLe76335983 This is incredibly worthless traffic design.

Just use a roundabout.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@TheTexanRhino Its not about spending money, its about making money. Its not about efficiency its about making money. They make more money if its shit. They get subsidies from the gov because its shit.

Though they are going to lose a ton of money. Gov will bail them out.

@MuffCabbage4L @nixoninexile nah.

@aswren What's the humiliation on both sides? Is it the UK beating an economically destroyed nation's 40-100 year old Military? Like the 'humiliation' of kick an old starving dog that tries do bite you?

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@yusipka @JigglyPants44 you are a bit behind. I know the news cycle is happening fast because Trump says one thing one day and backtracks the next. Trump has already backtracked the Belarus thing, which was a blatant lie exposed by Belarus. Everyone is making fun of the author of this article now.

@thewitcher The environment looks better, but the lighting, spell effects and monsters don't. I always thought that the magic sparks were a stylistic choice not a graphical limitation. Witcher 3 had fire effects. The monsters and lighting just look worse.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@JayinKyiv don't even need to discuss shipping, US uses 5.5 million tons of potash a year 80-90% of which comes from Canada. The entire maximum annual output of Belarus is 6 million tons and 90% of that goes to, and is promised to, China and India.(BRICS) They literally have nothing to give

@xelinasfave Apex players realizing their characters look busted

@FOcaolte @sarobertson_ "super power" losing to Iran and running out of Diesel. LOL

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@Readyfor_Freddy @Captain_Fubar Have people forgotten? Effective July 2026 the US has ceased all additional aid to Ukraine. Besides what was previously promised under contracts Biden created with Zelensky, all US aid has stopped.

US has not been supporting them for a while.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@Captain_Fubar You are giving the USA too much credit. They haven't aided Ukraine for well over a year now. None of Ukraine's progress is thanks to the USA rather its in spite of Trump and the USA leaking military information to Putin.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@nylaw1 @YourAnonCentral Canada has GLOBAL leverage on potash. US has no cards in the deal. Canada produces more than the rest of the top 5 producers combined. US Ag has no alternative supplier, 80%+ depends on Canada's supply. Belarus (3rd largest) annual production is about the same as US consumption.

[Arcinsanity @Arc_insanity1]

@Dwilli80_12 @Felongatedmuskr @YourAnonCentral Canada produces 25 million tons of potash annually. Russia is 2nd largest producer at 10 million annually. China and Belarus 3rd and 4th produce 6 million each.

USA uses 5.5 million a year. China 12 million, Russia 3 million, Brazil 13 million.

Do the math. USA Ag is fucked.
