Well here in Germany conservatives and the liberal party are whining and spewing hate over a new social aid aimed to lift poor children out of poverty.

Congrats. Your Picture is the Banner of c/europe for this month :)

It’s important to note that the 11% Raise would be spread over 3 years. So it’s not so generous as the media claims it is

It’s even smarter to piss your only big customer, namely the polish government off. Something about biting the hand that feeds you

Polish Regional governments if I understood it correctly

Well I guess in the next tender they will add a paragraph for “No Killswitches allowed”

Well it’s a problem at least in Germany that some morons buy a house nearby an farm and then sue the owners for the noise from the animals. And from the Article it seems that they have the same problem in France. So good for them to tell those people that they can go pound sand

I never talked about high speed rail. I think most of the times it’s a huge cash sink (especially the 300km/h ones where you need a lot of tunnels and bridges) Maintaining the existing infrastructure so you could ride the planned speeds and avoid delays would be a huge win. If we look at Europe, the countries that don’t bet big on high speed have a dense network and more people riding Rail, and then the countries who’ve built a lot of High Speed Lines which sped up the connection between a few huge cities at the cost of all the middle cities in-between who have lost most of their rail services.

I would say although, that less rail density in areas with comparable population density means underinvestment to me. Also what factor does Wealth Density play? Why shouldn’t poor Regions get Rail Infrastructure?

I don’t see why Euros per Rail Kilometre would be a better statistic. But I’m open to learn, could you please elaborate why you think the other measure would be better? For the other point, Wages in Western Europe don’t differ hugely (with Switzerland and Luxembourg being the exception)

You are completely missing the point. The company doesn’t refuse anything. It’s the Union Workers who refuse it for the specific reason of Tesla not wanting to negotiate a Union contract.

And I’ve read this enough times here to think that that some people are astroturfing here with this bullshit claim shifting the topic about “Workers strike in Solidarity” to “Postal Companies discriminate against poor companies for arbitrary reasons and that’s dangerous”

The underinvestment in numbers: (Investment per Capita in Rail Infrastructure in €)

I don’t know if sympathy strikes are legal in France, but if they are I could see the French Train Drivers join and then the Tunnel wouldn’t be an option either

Show me where I can rent a car for 70€-80€ for 600-800km worth of travel including gas. That’s the maximum price you pay with a BahnCard50. Or without 160€ if there are no saver fares at all, and you don’t even have a BC25 (17,90€ for 3 Months) with which it would cost 120€

Oh you can’t? Well it might be because your argument is made up bullshit

And regarding the desolate condition of our public transport, underinvestment does explain this pretty good. The picture only shows rail infrastructure though

49€/Month is cheap as fuck for local distance. In long distance I rarely paid more than 10 Cents/km which is also not expensive

It’s not the company that refuses delivery. It’s the workers, they also don’t want refuse it “because they don’t like the company” But because Tesla refuses to negotiate a Union contract.

It was 50cm in one day. Still SBB managed the weather considerably better with just some minor delays. It’s such a shame that we can’t have a well funded railway as well. But the Debate in Germany always revolves around prices, rarely about quality 😑. People will ride a reliable railway that can then cost something, for it’s quality. Not a cheap one that you can’t rely on

Tut mir leid das war tatsächlich ein harscher Umgangston. Ich reagiere bei Falschinformationen zum Thema ÖV Recht allergisch (76€ , wir Studenten zahlen bereits jetzt mehr). Oder willst du mir sagen dass die ganzen Upgrademöglichkeiten die es bisher gab auch nicht bekannt waren?

They just charge waaaay more than they would get from advertising
